Donald Cerrone now tied with Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre for the most wins in UFC history. I'd say he's a good bet to pass them.

Yancy is such a good dude but you can’t play buddy/buddy with Cerrone during a fight. Makes Cowboy that much more comfortable. Same thing happened in Brown fight. #UFCAustin

Lewis has the craziest fights. I’ve seen him losing 4 fights in a row and end up winning. Dangerous AF #UFCAustin

Was gonna say that could have gone a little longer. But after watching the replay it seemed like good timing on the stoppage. Congrats to Derrick Lewis! @ufc

The @ufc would be so fun if there was like 3 Black Beasts in every weightclass. But that toolbox only works at HW. Love that dude
— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 19, 2018
I think @ufc should finally line @Thebeast_ufc vs @francis_ngannou up. I bet neither one of them will be going for takedowns…..@ufc #UFCAustin
