Alex Oliveira: We'll see who the real cowboy is at UFC Fight Night 83

Will the real "Cowboy" please stand up?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans will find out the answer to that question in the UFC Fight Night 83 main event on Feb. 21, 2016 inside Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone collides with short-notice replacement Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira.

Oliveira was only recently announced as the replacement for fan favorite Tim Means, who was popped for a potential violation of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) guidelines earlier this week.

The Brazilian and former bull rider fought five times in 2015, which is equal to the same amount of contests Cerrone took part in back in 2011.
