On Saturday, UFC on Fox 17 will feature a lightweight title tilt between champion Rafael dos Anjos and No. 2-ranked contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
Dos Anjos stunned the division with his defeat of Anthony Pettis at UFC 185 earlier in 2015. He was thought to just be a warm body against the flashy American, but the Brazilian walked right through him en route to the gold. Now, he makes his first defense on national network television.
Cerrone earned his title shot with eight consecutive victories. His last came against John Makdessi in May.
The two lightweights are sure to put on an entertaining affair in the main event, but who walks out with the belt?
