Jared Cannonier rained on many a Brazilian’s parade in the co-main event of UFC 237 on Saturday night, and he was booed lustily for doing it.
After spending much of the opening round with MMA legend Anderson Silva in a nip-and-tuck battle for position, Cannonier knew he just had to be patient. He knew he couldn’t fall for any of the Silva’s mind games inside the Octagon and, most importantly, he knew he couldn’t leave himself open to be countered by the crushing power of “The Spider.”
Cannonier (12-4) knew a lot of things going into the fight and he knew he was going to win.
