Cerrone Knocks Out Vancouver’s Story At Ufc 202

Donald Cerrone (31-7) got an impressive knockout victory over Vancouver resident Rick Story (19-9) in a battle of ranked welterweights at UFC 202 on Saturday at Las Vegas. Both fighters started slow, but 14th-ranked Cerrone picked up the pace in the second half of Round 1, landing accurate strikes and effective leg kicks to take an early edge. Cerrone controlled the pace in Round 2, forcing the action by landing a three-punch combination followed by a head kick that left Story dazed. Cerrone followed with a knee to the head that dropped Story to the mat, and the fight was stopped at 2 minutes, 2 seconds of the second round. In the main event, Conor McGregor avenged his only loss in the UFC with a majority decision victory over Nate Diaz. In a highly anticipated rematch of their two-round welterweight thriller in March, the two put on an action-packed fight, with each taking control at different moments.
