Donald Cerrone is holding out hope that maybe one day he’ll share the octagon with Joe Lauzon.
Despite two failed bookings and UFC president Dana White saying he won’t re-book the fight, “Cowboy” would still like to get a contract signed with Lauzon’s name on it. The two fan-favorite fighters were scheduled to meet in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 37 in Austin, Texas, but Lauzon was forced to pull out of the fight the morning of the event due to a knee injury.
“Joe texted me (on Saturday morning) and said, ‘Sorry, brother. I can’t stand on my leg,’ and I was like, ‘Well, we’re (1-1) now, ain’t we?'” Cerrone told ESPN. “Joe is a game dude, so it’s not like he’s making something up. I know Joe just wouldn’t pull anything, so heal up brother, and we’ll make it happen one day.”
