After plenty of smack talk, Nate Diaz delivered a three-round beating of Donald Cerrone. Diaz took the unanimous decision 30-27, 30-27, 29-28.
The battle started before the fight even began. When the two came to the center of the Octagon for fight instructions, Cerrone flashed Diaz the middle finger when told to touch gloves. “You can touch gloves … or not,” referee Herb Dean said.
They started throwing immediately, with Diaz trying for the takedown. Cerrone pushed him off and landed a punch on the way out. Diaz found his rhythm, and landed more strikes early in the bout. Cerrone responded later on with kicks, but Diaz gave the majority of punishment.
