LAS VEGAS – Donald Cerrone has been trying his best to reach the magical number of 50 fights across his WEC/UFC career, and despite a few recent bookings falling through at the final hour in recent months, hopes he can come one step closer at International Fight Week.
Cerrone (36-16 MMA, 23-13 UFC) made it to fight week twice to face Joe Lauzon in recent months. At UFC 274 and UFC on ESPN 37, both men made it to the scale to record their official weight, but on neither occasion did the fight actually take place.
It’s not exactly surprising that Cerrone would be ready to try to fight again just a couple of weeks later, despite back-to-back weight cuts to lightweight. Cerrone is ready to take on a familiar face at UFC 276 in Jim Miller, but this time, he’ll have a few extra pounds to spare for the rematch nearly eight years in the making.
