The fight was not a fix

It’s more a case of Cerrone not really belonging in there and it even looked pretty bad for the sport. Cerrone was completely outclassed by Gaethje and should be fighting up and comers now.
 
Nope not a fix, Cerrone's performance was fairly typical of his penchant for starting slow.

Conor obviously came out even faster than usual in a bid to capitalise on that, was successful.

Cerrone not attempting to grab a double underneath McG's opening left hand was poor, but its not certain he would have got it in any case. Much worse was staying in the exact same position in the clinch as Conor shoulder charged him 4 times in the face. The head kick was impressive from Conor and better than we've seen from him before there, given Cerrone's lack of head movement the impact was going to be devastating.
