Inside leg kick from Cerrone, and a straight left jab from him lands flush. Pretty stuff; like a joust. Masvidal moves in and lands a couple of shots. Masvidal favoring his eyes a little bit, or so it seems. Don't see any blood or anything. He lands another solid jab. Both guys finding their range that way.

A right hand and that drops Cerrone again! Masvidal jumps in for the finish, and this time — after a series of hard shots on the fallen Cowboy — Dean stops the fight! That's it! Masvidal with a huge victory there. Emphatic.
