UFC Fight Night 83 in Tweets: Pros react to Donald Cerrone vs. Alex Oliveira, Derek Brunson vs. Roan Carneiro
It didn't take Donald Cerrone long to get back on track. Making his welterweight debut, "Cowboy" slapped on a gorgeous triangle to choke out his Brazilian counterpart Alex Oliveira in just under three minutes at UFC Fight Night 83.
The slick submission returned Cerrone to the win column after a disappointing showing against UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, and as always, the pros were there to highlight all the action.
Got em! #Cowboy #UFCPittsburgh
