UFC 249 free fight: Relive Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis before they rematch May 9
Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis will square off May 9 at UFC 249, but it won’t be the first time.
At UFC on FOX 6 in January 2013, Cerrone and Pettis stepped into the cage in a pivotal 155-pound matchup. The fight would only last 155 seconds.
Targeting the body from the opening bell, Pettis blasted Cerrone’s ribs with knees and kicks. After a hard knee connected, Cerrone visibly tightened up and Pettis went on the attack.
Cerrone was unable to slow Pettis’ onslaught of attacks. A hard left kick from Pettis ripped the body, and Cerrone crumpled to the canvas. Keeled over, Cerrone covered up as Pettis landed two punches to the head.
Referee Herb Dean stepped in and called off the fight 2:35 into Round 1. The fight propelled Pettis into a title fight against then-champion Benson Henderson, who he would defeat by first-round armbar to become UFC champ.
