Donald Cerrone vs Yancy Medeiros slated for the UFC Austin Main Event on 2/18

[JayPettryMMA]

At welterweight, so Cowboy's not dropping to 155 again.

With the main event, the UFC Fight Night 126 card looks like this so far:

WW: #10 Donald Cerrone vs #15 Yancy Medeiros
HW: #6 Derrick Lewis vs #8 Marcin Tybura
FLW: #3 Ray Borg vs #7 Brandon Moreno
LW: Sage Northcutt vs Thibault Gouti

I'm looking for stats now of fighters to fight two opponents with the same nickname back to back, but I imagine it hasn't happened often if at all in the UFC. Medeiros of course is coming off that insane FOTN/FOTY performance against Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira at UFC 218.

I feel like Donald should hang it up and call it day to be honest.

I'm kind of a bit sick of seeing him being fed to these young hungry killers.

Ill take Yancy by first round tko. Hes far too big and has an iron chin.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Clearly ducked Taisumov

Clearly you want to be banned again this week.

That is a pure

Match-up.

Don't see this one going past the 2nd round.

Someone is getting finished.

They both fought at 155 and are relatively small compared to their peers at 170. They're similarly sized.

Good fight for both of em at this point in their careers. I hope we get another bangfest similar to Cowboy/Yancy.

Clearly ducked Taisumov (smart move)

Yancy is a winnable fight for Cowboy

Yeah because a savage KO artist with solid boxing fundamentals is who Cowboy wants after being KO'ed a couple times in his last 4 fights.

Sensitive mofo can't handle the truth lol

Said he was 100% moving to LW, until the UFC offered him Taisumov.

You don't duck an unranked fighter in LW to take on the 15th ranked WW. Don't be ridiculous.

Always ride with Cowboy but he is on a decline for sure

taisumov is a way more dangerous fight. he was thought to fight him, then nothing happened and today we found out that he's facing yancy. well....

Should be a Co-Main not a Main.

In Yancy's last fight he took a lot of damage, Cowboy 1st Round KO head kick.
