ORLANDO – For the majority of Donald Cerrone ’s brief fight with Edson Barboza , he appeared to be losing. That is, right up until he won, thanks to one stiff jab that dropped Barboza and a rear-naked choke that forced him to submit at 3:15 of Round 1. The lightweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC on FOX 11 event at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. It aired on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. Barboza got off to a fast start, blitzing Cerrone with punches and kicks that kept the American fighter on the defensive. A failed takedown attempt by Cerrone only opened him up for more abuse, and it seemed like “Cowboy” might be headed for a rough night in the cage
