Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans have been spoiled.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight No. 1 contender, Donald Cerrone, is perhaps the most active fighter on the ZUFFA roster, competing a staggering 10 times over the past two years. Unfortunately, that pace will come to a screeching halt.
By order of UFC President Dana White.
That's because "Cowboy" is next in line for a lightweight title shot, whether he likes it or not, and can't run the risk of getting hurt or even worse, losing a fight while reigning division kingpin Rafael dos Anjos recovers from knee surgery (more on that here).
