A week ago, Alex Morono was coaching his students but a short notice opportunity to face Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the UFC Vegas 26 co-main event was an opportunity too good to pass up.
Morono certainly made the most of it after blitzing Cerrone with a blistering series of punches in the opening round to earn the TKO stoppage victory.
The end came at just 4:40 in the first round as Morono moves to 5-2 in his past seven fights in the UFC.
“Short notice fights have always done me so well,” Morono said afterwards.
