"I was sick, like literally sick all day, couldn't get out of bed. So for me to come in here and tell my coaches, 'Man, I don't feel like going in there tonight.' I've never felt like that ever. But, fuck, that's no excuse."Cerrone was always going to play down the validity of that ailment as an excuse. However, bar a few knuckle-dragging 'Just Bleed' Twitter users, would anyone really complain if he had decided to withdraw from the scrap?

"I was sick, throwing up, couldn't get out of bed, man, just feeling like shit all morning, all day. I wasn't feeling like showing up to work. That’s how I was feeling. That’s the only way I can tell it. It was the closest I’ve ever been in my whole career to calling the boss and saying, ‘Hey, man, I’m not going to fucking make it.’ Then I rolled over about 5 o’clock, looked in the mirror and said, ‘You’re not that guy’. So I got up and said, ‘Let’s go’. Here I am.”Taking nothing away from Edwards. He deserves all the praise he's getting for beating a legend of the sport. 'Rocky' improved his record to 16-3 (8-2 UFC) with his sixth consecutive UFC victory. Meanwhile, Cerrone drops to 33-1-1NC (20-8 UFC). He's 1-4 in his last five trips to the Octagon.
