Taking a fight short noticed paid off for Alex Morono at UFC Vegas 26. Paired up against Donald Cerrone for a co-main event bout after Diego Sanchez’s removal from the event (and the roster), the ‘Great White’ made the most out of the opportunity after catching ‘Cowboy’ early into the fight and scoring a TKO win. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the finish.
Omg let’s go @alexmoronomma #UFCVegas26

I think Cerrone takes this. Morono isnt the most technical striker, but he’s super tough, and his durability is a weapon. Kinda like an Elkins durability. I like that Cerrone has been sparring again, and seemed focused to fight Diego, but still hungry with the opponent change

Alex Morono is my hero. I know the story lines are all about Cowboy. But Morono is and always has been GAME! #UFCVegas26

That was the best striking display from Morono I’ve ever seen. Clean and much more technical and precise. I thought Cerrone was gonna win that one. #UFCVegas26
