The Ultimate Fighting Championship remains busy with the announcement of several matches over the past few days including the co-main event of the UFC on FOX Sports 1: Condit vs. Kampmann event.
Squaring off in a lightweight bout will be Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone (20-5, 1NC) and Rafael dos Anjos (19-6).
The IndyStar.com was the first to identify the matchup on Wednesday and was later announced by the UFC.
UFC on FOX Sports 1: Condit vs. Kampmann is expected to take place on August 28, 2013 at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. The main event will see welterweights Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann square off in a rematch.
Cerrone welcomed former Strikeforce fighter KJ Noons to the UFC last month picking up a decision victory. The win erased a prior loss for the ‘Cowboy’ who was finished in the first round by Anthony Pettis by TKO at UFC on FOX 6. That loss put an end to a two-fight win streak for Cerrone who earned victories over Melvin Guillard and Jeremy Stephens.
Dos Anjos will look to make it five straight wins, and with a victory against Cerrone, put him on the map as a possible contender for the 155-lbs title. The Brazilian fought last month at home at UFC on FX 8 defeating Evan Dunham by decision. Other victories include wins against Mark Bocek, Anthony Njokuani and Kamal Shalorus.
