Fighters React To Cerrone’s Controversial Win Over Henderson

Last night in the co-main event of “UFC Fight Night Boston” Donald Cerrone narrowly edged out a decision win over Benson Henderson.

The bout was scored in favor of Cerrone by all 3 judges (See that HERE), however that didn’t stop many fans and fighters from disagreeing with the outcome.

Below is a compilation of Tweets from fighters, reacting to the bout, and the outcome.

Benson hardly a pressure fighter. Don't know why cerrone isn't more aggressive. This is a benson fight the way it's unfolded.

Cerrone / Henderson needs 5 rounds to figure things out. One of the only fights I wouldn't be mad if they fought a 4th time. #UFCBoston

It hurts me to say this…. Cerone will always be a bridesmaid, but never a bride. #UFCBoston
