UFC on Fuel Results: What We Learned from Donald Cerrone vs. Jeremy Stephens

A pair of lightweights known for their striking locked horns on the UFC on Fuel main card as hard-hitting Jeremy Stephens met Muay Thai expert Donald Cerrone. The pair were both coming off losses in their last outings and looked to use one another to get back on track.

Here's what we learned from the bout.

What We'll Remember about This Fight

Cerrone's striking clinic. From the opening bell, the Colorado native made Stephens look lost.

What We Learned about Cerrone

When he's focused, he's one of the most dangerous 155-pound fighters on the planet. Now 5-1 in his six Octagon appearances, it's hard not to consider the "Cowboy" a contender.

What We Learned about Stephens

If he can't find a home for his overhand right, he's a sitting duck. Against the more technical Cerrone, "Lil' Heathen" was frequently confused and backing up.

What's Next for Cerrone

With Nate Diaz next in line for title shot, the perfect opponent for Cerrone is another WEC-import, Anthony Pettis. If not, a battle of the best Muay Thai practitioners in the division with Edson Barboza would be a treat for fans.

What's Next for Stephens

Now on a two-fight skid, a fight with another fighter looking to get back on track such as Jim Miller seems appropriate.
