Masvidal (32-11 MMA, 9-4 UFC) connected with a heavy shot that dropped Cerrone (32-8 MMA, 19-5 UFC) in the closing seconds of Round 1 during the FOX-televised bout at Denver’s Pepsi Center. Masvidal followed with strikes on the ground, and Dean stepped in, seemingly to wave off the fight. The horn sounded a split second after the veteran official’s intervention, though, and he took the opportunity to reverse course and allowed the fight to continue. Although it seemed like Dean changed his mind on the stoppage during the confusing moments, Masvidal went on to finish the job early the second round when he landed another knockdown before a fight-ending flurry of punches . It was a chaotic scene after the non-stoppage, but not for Masvidal, he said.
