One of the most anticipated welterweight matchups between Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Mike Perry ended with Cowboy submitting Perry in the first round with just 14-seconds left on the clock. Scoring his 21st Octagon win in his UFC career at the Pepsi Center in Colorado, Cerrone became the all-time record holder for wins and finishes in the UFC.
Twitter went frenzy over that submission move and here are the best Twitter reactions:
Unfortunately it was my burden to face defeat last night. My return to the octagon will be a ferocious 1 ✊🏼

I dislike Mike as a person because he's an ignorant assholes; we all know why. I love everything else about him, because, well, he's a violent, crazy asshole. #UFCDenver pic.twitter.com/29uYWYqBPV

For some reason, I thought Perry would be able to keep the fight standing the whole time. He initiated that last grappling exchange and ended up getting swept. Their UFC Unfiltered interview sold me a on stand-up, “Just Bleed” slobberknocker lol.#UFCDenver
