I gave Ratcliff the 1st round even though Cerrone really started to turn things around late in the round, making it a 10-8 round with the point deduction. Cerrone clearly won the 2nd, making it 9-9 with the 2nd point deduction. He came so close to finishing Ratcliff at the end of the second and finally sealed the deal in the 3rd. Great call by Herb Dean standing them up after Cerrone got a take down while grabbing the cage.
