Donald Cerrone vs. Yancy Medeiros Targeted for UFC Fight Night 126 Headliner in Austin

A welterweight clash pitting Donald Cerrone against Yancy Medeiros has been targeted as the UFC Fight Night 126 main event, according to multiple reports.

MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani was the first to reveal the booking via Twitter. UFC Fight Night 126 takes place at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, on Feb. 18 and also includes a heavyweight scrap between Derrick Lewis and Marcin Tybura. The card will air on Fox Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Cerrone recently announced plans to return to lightweight but will apparently remain at 170 pounds for at least one more bout.
