Adam D Martin - September 20, 2020

UFC president Dana White says he has to have a conversation with welterweight star Donald Cerrone after his fight at UFC Vegas 11. Cerrone toughed it out and fought to a draw against Niko Price in the co-main event of the evening. After getting dominated in the first round, the referee took a point from Price for an eye poke and so the round was scored 9-9. The second round was once again all Price and he won it 10-9, but Cerrone had a strong third round and won it 10-9. With the point deduction, the judges scored the fight as a majority draw.

Adam D Martin - September 20, 2020

UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington says he wants to fight Jorge Masvidal next but he expects “Gamebred” to fight Nate Diaz instead.

With UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman taking on No. 1 contender Gilbert Burns next, Covington and Masvidal could make sense to fight each other for a future title shot.
