Sherdog’s Top 10: Signature Donald Cerrone Finishes

Brian KnappFeb 15, 2018


1. Donald Cerrone vs. Rick Story
UFC 202 “Diaz vs. McGregor 2”
Aug. 20, 2016 | Las Vegas
Showing once again that he maintains his potency at 170 pounds, Cerrone took out Story with a sharp head kick and follow-up punches in the second round of their welterweight showcase at T-Mobile Arena. Cerrone tied the bow on a scintillating performance 2:02 into Round 2. Story was on the defensive from the start. Cerrone answered his takedown in the first round by immediately threatening with a triangle choke and forcing the fight back to the feet. Once there, he picked apart Story with a variety of strikes, from leg and body kicks to punches upstairs. Early in the second round, Cerrone tore into the 31-year-old with an exquisite multi-strike combination to the body and head. A head kick punctuated the volley and sent Story careening into the cage. Cerrone then drove him to the mat and finished it with punches.
