Despite having his chance at Khabib Nurmagomedov stolen by the dreaded injury gods just three weeks prior to last Saturday’s UFC 187 in Las Vegas, lightweight contender Donald Cerrone has still managed to parlay his near-meaningless, knockout-win over late-replacement John Makdessi into a shot at the UFC’s 155-pound title.
Following ”The Cowboy’s” eighth-straight victory, UFC President Dana White put any rumors regarding newly-crowned champ Rafael dos Anjos’ first title defense to rest in an interview with ESPN and didn’t hesitate to praise Cerrone’s latest performance.
