Donald Cerrone and Khabib Nurmagomedov want to fight each other on Memorial Day

[Hannya MMA]

Joe Silva's job gets easier by the day.

Fresh off his unanimous decision victory over Ben Henderson last Sunday (Jan. 18, 2015) at UFC Fight Night 59 (watch video highlights here), Donald Cerrone may already have his next opponent lined up, as Khabib Nurmagomedov has throw his name in "Cowboy's" hat.

Rough first fight back, winner get a shot at the title?

 

[Ollie_Williams]

That would be a GREAT fight. Winner would for sure be #1 contender.

 

[Forever Young]

Ok but wtf ever happened to TJ Grant?

 

[WAT IZ JUICE]

Make it happen. Works out just perfectly for a title shot.

 

[Highflyer]

Late May is too long. Sooner is better.

 

[Ollie_Williams]

Ok but wtf ever happened to TJ Grant?

Head injuries, concussed. If you don't hate TJ Grant, you should hope he stays retired and keeps his brain function.

He was awesome, though, but head injuries are serious.

 

[Lito Lapida]

Ok but wtf ever happened to Heath Herring?

Late May is too long. Sooner is better.

If you know a way to make reconstructive knee surgery heal faster, by all means.

 

[Which Doctor]

Okay but wtf happened to Tim Catalfo?

 

[Mikedh]

Late May is too long. Sooner is better.

Khabib isn't ready yet and Cerrone is deserves a least a little time off.

Imagine how much sherdog will hate khabib if he successfully pulls a phil davis gameplan on cerrone and pettis

 

[SuperLuigi]

Okay, but wtf happened to UberTS?

Imagine how much sherdog will hate khabib if he successfully pulls a phil davis gameplan on cerrone and pettis

khabib is so much better than phil davis lol! his gnp is violent and his submissions are way better and is so much more active. it won't be boring.

 

[SherdogGoat]

Great fight but it'd suck for cowboy to lose on such a great streak. I'd be rooting for Khabib though since Pettis vs Khabib IS a lot more intriguing fight.

 

[BudoFighter]

Khabib isn't ready yet and Cerrone is deserves a least a little time off.

Come on if we give Cerrone some time of how will he ever achieve 24-0 in 2015?

Imagine how much sherdog will hate khabib if he successfully pulls a phil davis gameplan on cerrone and pettis

KN is much more exciting to watch.

 

[Git rekt]

Would be an awesome way for cerrone to get that 8th win. Though i think khabib's a pretty dangerous opponent. If cerrone win's this i just might have to make him my favorite fighter of all time.
