Yeah, I completely forgot (like a lot of people it seems) how dominant and how much power Conor had when he was at his best. Given his time off, extra-curriculars and his lack of great performances in the past 4 years I had Cerrone as a slight favorite going in, even with his age and ability to bleed when looked at slightly funny, which was obviously completely and spectacularly wrong.
