Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, lightweight champion? It's a real possibility, ladies and gentlemen.
According to ESPN.com's Brett Okamoto, UFC President Dana White believes a Cerrone title fight opposite 155-pound champ Rafael dos Anjos is on the horizon:
Dana White tells me he's not going to press conference tonight, but DID say Donald Cerrone is the next lightweight title contender.

The news comes as little surprise, frankly. Cerrone effortlessly defeated John Makdessi at UFC 187, picking him apart at range before breaking his jaw with a kick in the second round.
