No. 5-ranked surging welterweight contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone extended his win streak at 170-pounds to four with a brutal head kick knockout over Matt Brown in the co-main event of last weekend’s (Dec. 10, 2016) UFC 206 from Toronto, Canada. After the bout, Cerrone made it clear that he wanted to return to action rather quickly and fight at Jan. 28 at UFC on FOX 23 from Denver, Colorado.

Cerrone is unsurprisingly willing to take on any and all 170 pounders and in typical “Cowboy” fashion he issued a challenge to all fighters in the division via his official Twitter account earlier today:


Later on, Cerrone actually received a response, as No. 15-ranked Jorge Masvidal said that he’s already been contacting the UFC brass regarding his interest in the bout:


“Cowboy” also made it clear that he’s ready to clash with “Gamebred” next month:


Masvidal has won two straight bouts and is coming off of a TKO victory over Jake Ellenberger earlier this month. Prior to beating Brown, Cerrone had scored stoppage victories over Alex Oliveira, Patrick Cote and Rick Story.

What a guy!

After three straight stoppages in the UFC welterweight division, Donald Cerrone returned to face Matt Brown at UFC 206. Taking place in the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada, the pay-per-view card really delivered. Taking on a very dangerous and durable fighter in Brown, the always ready ‘Cowboy’ came to bang. Following two very close rounds of exciting action, Cerrone stepped up his game in the final frame.

Landing a trademark head kick that resonated around the arena, Cerrone took out ‘The Immortal’ with a brutal knockout. Unfortunately for Brown that’s three straight losses, for ‘Cowboy’ it’s a whole different story. Now eyeing a potential title fight in the near future, Cerrone got on the microphone post-fight to discuss his options.

Cerrone Wants To Fight In January

After taking out Brown with such a convincing finish, Cerrone told Joe Rogan that he wants to fight again next month. UFC on FOX 23 is set to go down in Denver, Colorado on January 28, and ‘Cowboy’ wants in:

“He’s a good guy, he was just trying to get in my head. I knew he was gonna come hard and look for the finish. What about Denver, Colorado in a few weeks? What about that one? Thank you everybody, I love this sh*t!”

Cowboy vs. Maia?

According to UFC insider and MMAFighting.com reporter Ariel Helwani, Demian Maia is the intended target:

Arguably the most dangerous fighter outside the champion, Maia has been wrecking opponents at 170 pounds. Since dropping to welterweight in 2012, the BJJ ace has racked up nine wins and two losses. Maia currently rides a six-fight win streak, with victories over Matt Brown, Carlos Condit, Neil Magny and Gunnar Nelson highlighting his spree.

Again willing to go straight in to training camp, Donald Cerrone’s commitment to the game is clear. Should he defeat the rampant Maia if/when they fight, surely ‘Cowboy’ is next in line for a title fight.

Surging welterweight contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone was originally set to meet No. 5-ranked Kelvin Gastelum on the main card of this weekend’s (Nov. 12, 2016) UFC 205 from New York, but the bout was scrapped earlier this morning after Gastelum failed to make wait. Cerrone, who was visibly angry about the situation, may not have to wait too long to fight, however, as the promotion is targeting a bout for him at Dec. 10’s UFC 206 according to MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani:

FOX Sports’ Damon Martin confirmed this statement, saying that the UFC is attempting to book “Cowboy” against No. 14-ranked Matt Brown:

Brown has hit some rough times as of late, losing three of his last four bouts including consecutive losses to Demian Maia and Jake Ellenberger. “The Immortal” is currently scheduled to fight Tarec Saffiedine at Dec. 30’s UFC 207 from Las Vegas, but apparently the UFC has greater interest in him fighting Cerrone.

“Cowboy” has won three straight since moving up to 170-pounds including finishes over Alex Oliveira, Patrick Cote and Rick Story.

UFC 207 is set to go down from Toronto, Canada with the card being headlined by a light heavyweight title rematch between champion Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson.
