It really came down to the first round. I thought Cowboy won it with the submission attempts. I guess judges think getting out of a submission is as good as sinking one in.
The fact that this decision was unanimous is what gets me. **** MMA judges. This is worse than Diaz vs. Aina.
I think this is an example of why MMA should put on more 5X5 rounders. Imagine if this fight had only gone 3 rounds...
I just saw the replay of the fight. It was an awesome fight. Henderson is one tough dude to be able to withstand all those submission attempt. I think round 1 could have gone either way. Cerrone had some good submission in the first 2 minutes but the rest of the round henderson controlled. I could understand why some people would give cerrone the first round but it could have gone either way.
