Just this once, it appears that Donald Cerrone has agreed to scale back his manic fight schedule.
The Jackson-Wink MMA standout secured the lightweight division’s No. 1 contender’s spot with a second-round technical knockout of John Makdessi at UFC 187, Cerrone’s eighth consecutive triumph within the Las Vegas-based promotion. There was one catch: “Cowboy” would have to wait until Rafael dos Anjos made his targeted December return from a torn meniscus before he could receive his shot at 155-pound gold.
According to a Wednesday report from “UFC Tonight,” Cerrone has agreed to wait for dos Anjos -- but not before he asked for another fight in the interim.
