Many expected rising lightweight contender Alexander "The Great" Hernandez to sweep aside octagon veteran and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, but the future Hall of Famer proved there's plenty still left in the tank as he dismantled the trash-talking contender in spectacular fashion, before declaring: "The old man's still got it!"

Cerrone's victory came on the occasion of his 40th fight for Zuffa, the longtime parent company of the UFC, as he proved that he's the wrong man to disrespect before a fight.

That fact might be worth considering if he gets his wish to fight Conor McGregor next. That's the fight he wants. And, after McGregor tweeted his approval, that could be an ideal bout to bring the Irishman back to the octagon in 2019.
