Donald Cerrone vs Alex Oliveira full fight video highlights from UFC Fight Night 83

We sure found out who the real "Cowboy" was last night (Sun., Feb. 21, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 83.

Donald Cerrone made his welterweight debut against short-notice replacement Alex Oliveira in the Pittsburgh, Pa., main event inside CONSOL Energy Center. The former lightweight title challenger was looking to distance himself from a disappointing knockout loss to 155-pound champion Rafael dos Anjos by taking out the Brazilian "Cowboy."

Oliveira, who turned 28 yesterday, had yet to fight anyone of Cerrone's caliber, but was a welterweight on the rise nonetheless. He started off the contest pressuring the Jackson-Wink MMA combatant, putting Cerrone in the clinch.
