It didn't take Donald Cerrone long to get back on track. Making his welterweight debut, "Cowboy" slapped on a gorgeous triangle to choke out his Brazilian counterpart Alex Oliveira in just under three minutes at UFC Fight Night 83.
The slick submission returned Cerrone to the win column after a disappointing showing against UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, and as always, the pros were there to highlight all the action.
