    For me there was no way Henderson won as I didnt think he really won a round, Cerrone I could see them giving the 1st and 2nd rounds as he went forward and landed more hits but nothing that really caused any danger to Henderson, then Henderson came back in it in the 3rd, landing more hits. But all the rounds were really close, was evenly matched were both of them looked just as worried about getting caught than believing they'd win.

    I thought the judges may have put the 2nd round as a draw and then would have evened it up by giving Henderson the 3rd.

    Id like to see them fight again as, I agree with you saying they showed too much respect. If they fought again they'd probably more for the win from the start and gamble more.

    In truth mate, i thought as bland as the first round was, i didnt actaully see Cerrone hit him with anything more than a clip throughout the whole round.
    Was it the first or second he got the takedown i cant remember.The one where Henderson's corner said he won the whole round but maybe blew it because of that 20 second takedown?Anyway, neither impressed me too much if im honest.Like i said, i think they were both hesitant.

    He's skillful as * but McGregor, landed more good hits already in less than a round than near enough all the previous fights combined.

    Ref should have ended it there as soon as he went down, it was done.

    Aye, it was a filler.If the UFC were ever going to cash in on him, they couldnt allow him the chance of losing against one of the top 4 guys.

    Nice attempt to sell more pay per view in the next fight at the end there.Bit embarrassing in truth.

    2 bad decisions, and mostly mismatched fights. Weird night. Good to see McGregor get another notch on his octagon, though.

    I love connor but his way to the the title fight has been far too easy, he should have faced another top 5 tonight instead. Think aldo will stop the hype train.
