Don’t blink. Get your popcorn ready. You’ll pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge.
Whatever cliche you want to break out for this Saturday’s lightweight main event bout between Donald Cerrone and Justin Gaethje, feel free to use it because matchups like this are tailor-made for buzz and hyperbole. For ages, “Cowboy” has reigned as one of the UFC’s preeminent action fighters, with a cornucopia of spectacular finishes and classic battles to his name. Gaethje threatens to usurp Cerrone’s legacy someday, seemingly making up for lost time once the UFC finally snagged him as he’s won six post-fight bonuses in his first five appearances for the promotion.
