UFC Austin ended up being one hell of a wild night. We had a one round barnburner in the main event. The co-main event was about as sloppy as it gets, but it still produced a brutal KO and a classic Derrick Lewis interview. And of course, there’s Nate Diaz stealing the show without even stepping into the cage… or uttering a single word.
As with any event, not all winners were actually winners and not all losers were actually losers. Perhaps more hindsight would give us more clarity on the results of this event, but let’s be honest with ourselves. We’re all impatient buggers and we want our analysis NOW. So I’ve got your winners and losers right here, right now.
Winners
Donald Cerrone: In terms of remaining a viable part of the UFC picture, there may not have been a single fight more important in Cerrone’s career. Having lost three fights in a row coming into the contest, there were whispers Cerrone’s days as a headliner were over. Then he comes out and delivers a brutal boxing combination to put Yancy Medeiros out right before the bell. The jury is still out whether Cowboy is going to return to the lightweight division as he declared he would be right before the fight with Medeiros was made, but here’s hoping he does. Let’s not forget how small he looked in comparison to Darren Till.
Derrick Lewis: Let’s be honest: that was not a great performance from Lewis. Marcin Tybura was winning that fight before Lewis’ ham hocks connected cleanly midway through the third round. Nobody is clamoring for the Lewis to be getting a title shot any time soon after that performance. But if there isn’t anybody else more apt at pulling off the come from behind victory than the Black Beast….
