AUSTIN, Texas – Yancy Medeiros wasn’t exactly thrilled with Herb Dean’s stoppage in Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 126 main event, but he’s not going to make a big fuss over it. Medeiros (15-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) suffered a first-round TKO loss to Donald Cerrone (33-10 MMA, 20-7 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 126, which took place at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, and aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. The stoppage came after he was knocked down with a punch in the waning seconds of the opening frame, and the referee stepped in at the 4:58 mark of first. Being the fighter he is, Medeiros felt he could have lasted for the final two ticks on the clock, recovered during the round break and fought on in the second frame. Medeiros joked another referee may have handled it different, but he’s ultimately accepting of his reality.
