Rick Story vs. Cerrone is an incredible fight.

That's a tough one for Cowboy I think

I like it. Story is a pretty good wrestler(right?)I think we will get to see Cowboy's overly active guard in that fight. That's cool as poo poo.

I will watch Cowboy vs Anyone though.

Cowboy owns.

I don't think Story is gonna play around in Cerrone's guard, he'll just push him to the fence and beat him up.

If Cowboy blows through Story the way he did with Côte that would be insanely cool

I'm a bit more uncertain. It's a fight between two extremely hard motherfuckers, but I think Cerrone is slightly more technical all round and will take two of the three very competitive rounds.

No.

let us know how it is. I found the 2nd one with CM Punk and The Rock to be okay. I get why they're loading it up with stars and personalities outside of UFC, but I do hope they soon just get to interviewing random mid-carders

They probably won't do that. It'd be far better for them to get big stars on and talk to them about random poo poo than the midcarders and lower tier guys.

A true renaissance man


Rick Story lives up to his nickname. He doesn't have enough of a reputation for anyone to get momentum from beating him, but he's probably no worse than a live underdog against anyone at 170. And when he wins he's one of those guys who doesn't so much look good, but rather he makes his opponents look really really bad. Even some of the guys who beat him ended up losing steam and momentum as a result of how they looked versus Story.

That he has only been finished once, by Demian Maia (submission: head explosion), over 18 UFC fights is pretty impressive too.

In short, that he accepted this matchup is the greatest evidence that Cowboy has yet given us that he's insane. Nobody should want to fight Rick Story.

I feel like Story is going to get eaten up trying to get inside and finished late.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



On the one hand, Donald Cerrone's flashing weak boss point is his midsection where he is much more prone to getting hurt from a big shot than his head, and Rick Story has his reputation for brutal body work. On the other hand, despite having his reputation for brutal body work, literally the only time I can remember him ever throwing a body shot in the entire time I've been watching is in his last fight against Tarec Saffiedine. So :iiam:

Story hit Nelson in the body a lot. It's part of why he got so tired in that fight.

Story is very physically strong and finished an arm triangle from inside some scrub's guard (Rick Foster maybe?). I don't know why anybody thinks Cerrone is a lock to win this, Story is a tough matchup for every welterweight except for that one time Demian Maia looked very good and that one time that Charlie Brenneman looked very good.

Go rewatch the Gunnar Nelson fight. According to FightMetric Story landed 58 body shots. It was the one that made me notice Story's body work, anyway, in which he flurries there as an immediate response to any collar tie. According to the numbers he did some relatively heavy body work on Brian Ebersole, too.
