From its original booking for a Fight Night event at the UFC APEX in April, the Donald Cerrone-Joe Lauzon bout was moved to UFC 274. However, no specific reasons for the change were given at the time.
During a pre-fight media scrum, “Cowboy” revealed that he actually worked with Lauzon to have the bout moved and be in front of a sold-out crowd. While fighting back tears, he later stated that it was mainly for his son to bask in such a momentous event
But he also detailed how he and Lauzon did it.
