Round 1: Cerrone comes out orthodox while Miller is in southpaw to start and it’s Cerrone who takes the center. Miller appears to be noticeably smaller than Cerrone and the men start kicking almost immediately. There aren’t any major issues, just consistent kicks at low speeds from the men to begin.

Not a lot of note over the first two minutes. Both men have given priority to kicks, as well as the legs and bodies. Miller may have made some charges, but Cerrone is being careful about how he navigates the distance. Cerrone also has several solid intercepting knees.

Cerrone attempts a body kick, but Miller manages to catch it immediately and drive on a takedown. Cerrone quickly attacks an armbar, but Miller can turn and keep top position. Miller now is guard and working his elbows. Cerrone, meanwhile, working his legs high.

Cerrone is able to create space and a scramble and he eats some shots in the process but he reverses position! Now Cerrone on top and it’s Miller working the high legs. Cerrone might have suffered injuries in the scramble, but he is taking his time and not offering any offense.

Cerrone has regained his posture, but Miller maintains a strong defensive defense. Miller rolls on an armbar but Cerrone clears as easily as Miller did and then dropped onto a kneebar but he’s not close and the round ends.

MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Miller

Round 2: If you wanted to score that round for Cerrone, it’s not a bad score. He got the better of the striking and the grappling was mostly even, but the scramble damage edged it for Miller for me.

Round 2 starts and Miller comes out taking the center this time. Still cautious about the range though as Cerrone fires a teep into his gut. A nice exchange of left and rights happens with both men eating the shots well, then it’s back to the range and kicking.

Cerrone attempts a head kick, but it slips. As he stands up, Miller leaps on his neck and takes a dive on a guillotine. Cerrone is holding Miller’s arm tight, but it’s too close. Cerrone trying to find an angle but he can’t and he’s forced to tap!

Jim Miller def. Donald Cerrone by submission (guillotine choke) at 1:32 of Round 2. Jim Miller now holds the record for most UFC victories.
