2. Donald Cerrone vs. Matt Brown
UFC 206 “Holloway vs. Pettis”
Dec. 10, 2016 | Toronto

No one, not even a man they call “The Immortal,” can stomach a shin to the skill from “Cowboy.” Cerrone knocked out Brown with a head kick in the third round of their co-headliner at the Air Canada Centre. The Elevation Fight Team rep met his end 34 seconds into Round 3. Cerrone overcame some adversity to get his hand raised: He escaped a triangle choke in the first round and ate a crushing overhand right in the second that briefly sat him down. However, he hammered away at Brown with a steady diet of kicks to the legs, body and head, leaving him with cuts near both eyes. The two rivals embraced in a show of respect at the start of Round 3. Moments later, Cerrone drilled “The Ultimate Fighter 7” alum with a counter right hook and caught him ducking. The sickening thud of the head kick came next, as Brown hit the deck unconscious and 18,057 fans were brought to their feet.
