And anybody that follows MMA knows that Cerrone is past his peak, has a mental block when it comes to big fights, and wanted this spot because it would financially set him up for life, not because he genuinely thought he could hang.

Just look at his demeanor in the build up to the fight. I could be wrong, as I said it's merely my impression, but he seemed happy to be there.

The whole prelude to the fight was like one big love-in between Conor and him.

That said, it goes both ways.

Conor's attitude in the build-up to the Khabib fight was all wrong. He gave Khabib all the incentive in the world to beat him and way underestimated him. He didn't take his training camp seriously at all. And he still managed to take a round off Khabib and hang with him in a way that other fighters haven't.

LOL at Joe Rogan's biased "Khabib is smashing his face in" commentary. He clearly didn't do that if Conor's face was virtually unscathed after that fight.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
