Dana White says UFC won’t book Donald Cerrone vs. Joe Lauzon again: ‘This thing is getting like Tony and Khabib’

AUSTIN, Texas – Fans itching to see Donald Cerrone vs. Joe Lauzon will likely be disappointed.

The highly-anticipated bout between the two lightweight veterans won’t get a third booking after multiple fight-day cancellations. Cerrone (36-16 MMA, 23-13 UFC) and Lauzon (28-15 MMA, 15-12 UFC) were scheduled to compete Saturday in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 37. However, Lauzon was forced to withdraw from the bout as his left knee locked up on him after official weigh-ins, rendering him unable to walk.

This was the second time the bout had to be cancelled. They were originally scheduled to fight at UFC 274 in May, but Cerrone fell ill the morning of fight day due to suspected food poisoning.
