  Last Saturday, the UFC returned to Toronto for the first time since 2013 with UFC 206. Though the card was somewhat lacking in big names, it delivered as an unforgettably exciting night of combat all the same.

Russell Ess - December 12, 2016

Matt Brown and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone engaged in one of the great fights from the exhilerating UFC 206 event that took place at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto over the weekend. Brown and Cerrone went to war in a back and forth battle that came to an end in the third round where Cerrone landed a devastating kick to the head of Brown as he was leaning into the powerful attack. Brown dropped to the canvas and Cerrone realized Brown’s condition and did not need to follow up with any strikes to the downed veteran.

This Saturday, #5 ranked welterweight Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, and #14 ranked Matt ‘The Immortal’ Brown will step into the Octagon in a highly anticipated showdown between two of the toughest fighters in the UFC. For Cerrone, the fight will give him the opportunity to extend his undefeated welterweight streak to 4-0, as he looks to potentially move one step closer to a welterweight title shot. For ‘The Immortal’ on the other hand, the fight provides the opportunity to snap a 2-fight skid that has seen him drop a submission loss to Demian Maia, and most recently a TKO loss to Jake Ellenberger.
