Joe Lauzon gives update on knee after ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone cancellation – and the video that made it work again

For the second time in six weeks, a highly anticipated matchup between two of the UFC’s most longstanding fighters was scrapped on the day of the fight.

In May, Donald Cerrone (36-16 MMA, 23-13 UFC) was ruled out of his fight with Joe Lauzon (28-15 MMA, 15-12 UFC) on the day of the bout at UFC 274 when he was sick with a stomach ailment. Saturday, at UFC on ESPN 37, the tables turned and Lauzon was pulled on fight day when he his knee popped out of socket and he couldn’t get it back in.

The fight was set to be the co-main event in Austin, Texas. Now pulled for a second time, UFC president Dana White is doubtful the promotion will book the two again for later.
