Donald Cerrone vs. Robbie Lawler added to UFC 205

The UFC’s first ever show in the world famous Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York just received a mouthwatering welterweight clash. UFC president Dana White confirmed to Cleveland sports radio host Anthony Lima that Donald Cerrone will take on recently dethroned champion Robbie Lawler at UFC 205 on November 12th.

Cerrone (31-7, 1 NC) is a perfect 3-0 at welterweight, having chosen to move up to the weight class after losing by TKO to Rafael dos Anjos for what was then RDA’s lightweight strap. “Cowboy” submitted Alex Oliveira in February, became the first man to finish Patrick Cote with strikes in June, then became the first man to finish Rick Story with strikes in August.
