Much like Miller Lite and Bud Light, it turns out Donald Cerrone and Jim Miller are the same person.

colonel_korn posted:

It's pretty cool how closely Miller/Cerrone's records against common opponents parallel one another.

- Both lost to Nate Diaz (Miller got tapped out, Cerrone lost a lopsided decision)
- Both beat Melvin Guillard inside of one round (Miller by sub, Cerrone by KO)
- Both beat Oliveira inside of one round (Miller by sub, Cerrone by KO)
- Both dropped decisions to Ben Henderson (with Cerrone also having the submission loss in their second fight)

I think those are the only common opponents, not much to choose between them.




I need some sort of gimmick for this GDT... some sort of gimmick... some. sort. of gimmick. think. THINK. what does Wikipedia have to say about these people... hmm Wikipedia has very little to say about these people... most of this stuff is also very boring and poorly written...

This is a tough decision for ol' Dogg here, I like Cerrone more than Miller but Miller Lite is clearly the superior beer to Bud Lite.

Cerrone, Submission, Rd 2 :clint:
Barboza, Decision (but I hope he KOs Dunham) :unsmith:
Story, TKO, Rd 2
Salas, Decision
Lineker, TKO, Rd 2
White, Decision

Miller and Bud aren't the same thing. Bud is made with rice. They're both terrible though.

Have they ever nailed down how long after an event on a Fox channel happens they put it up on Fight Pass? I think I'm going to end up missing a large chunk of this tonight.

I'm not necessarily proud of this but I'm gonna leave it here anyways.
Seeing that I have a single Budweiser in my fridge and no Miller's it looks like I'm pulling for Cerrone tonight.

Might vary from region to region, but on my TV Penn-Edgar (which happened on the 6th of July) is still locked while Swanson-Stephens (which was a week earlier) is still locked. So maybe ~2 weeks?
