Donald Cerrone vs. Yancy Medeiros targeted for UFC Austin main event
If Donald Cerrone plans to return to lightweight, it evidently won’t be for his next fight.
MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani reported on Tuesday that “Cowboy” is slated to headline UFC Fight Night 126 in Austin, Texas against Yancy Medeiros on Sunday, February 18th. The night’s main card airs live on Fox Sports 1.
Cerrone (32-10, 1 NC) is on a three-fight losing streak, which includes TKOs suffered against Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal, as well as a decision defeat to Robbie Lawler. It’s the first time that Cerrone has ever dropped consecutive bouts, let alone three straight, but heading into this week he is still the #10 ranked contender in the UFC’s welterweight division.
