Fresh off of beating one “Cowboy,” welterweight Yancy Medeiros has his sights set on another Cowboy by the name of Donald Cerrone. The Hawaiian’s epic win over Alex Oliveira has set him up for a main event showdown against Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 127 in Austin, Texas. Cerrone will be looking to avoid an unthinkable fourth consecutive defeat.
While not listed as the co-main event, it’s most likely we’ll see Texas’ own Derrick Lewis take co-main honors against fellow heavyweight contender Marcin Tybura. Lightweight Sage Northcutt also makes his first appearance of the new year, going up against Frenchman Thibault Gouti.
