A matchup of two fighters with fitting nicknames has been made official for UFC Fight Night 89, as Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone takes on Patrick “The Predator” Cote.
The event goes down June 18 from Ottaway, marking the debut of the Octagon in the Canadian province. Rory MacDonald and Stephen Thompson are the scheduled headline fight.
Cerrone (29-7) moved up to welterweight earlier this year, besting Alex Oliveira. The former lightweight title contender owns 21 stoppage victories to his name and 11 “Fight Night” bonus awards.
Cote (23-9) has strung together three consecutive wins and is 5-1 overall at 170 pounds. He previously faced off with then-middleweight champion Anderson Silva for the title back in 2008.
Other planned bouts for the card include Steve Bosse-Sean O’Connell, Elias Theodorou-Sam Alvey, Jason Saggo-Leandro Silva, Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Thibault Gouti and Tamdan McCrory-Krzysztof Jotko.
