Donald Cerrone is always up to fight and almost did that at UFC 226 against Mike Perry.

As seen in the main event of the UFC Singapore event in Kallang, Singapore at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass, the former title contender lost to rising contender Leon Edwards by unanimous decision.

As a result of this loss, Cerrone is now just 1-4 in his last five fights.

Cerrone’s coach Brandon Gibson recently noted that Cerrone was asked if he could step in and replace the injured Yancy Medeiros against Mike Perry at UFC 226.

This would have been on short-notice considering that this pay-per-view event goes down next weekend.

“He got the phone call [this week] to fight Mike Perry and he said yes,” Gibson said to MMA Fighting. “He’s under a medical suspension right now so it’s kind of off the table. His son hadn’t been born yet. Lindsey was probably having contractions. They were at the hospital and he was like, ‘Hey, do you have time to do this? I’m feeling good. I’m ready. I just came off an awesome camp. Mike’s been training out of JacksonWink but no hard feelings. Let’s go put on a show. I’ll step up.’”

“I don’t want him fighting five times a year,” Gibson said. “I think those days are over, but he’s always gonna be that, ‘I’ll fight anyone, anywhere, anytime’ kind of guy. Some of these, you’ve just got to get up and ride with ‘Cowboy.’ That’s the life he’s gonna live.”

At the end of the day, Cerrone was unable to accept the fight due to him being under a 45-day medical suspension for right temple and scalp lacerations. Cerrone’s girlfriend Lindsey Sheffield gave birth to their son, Dacson, on Friday.

Paul Felder will now be fighting Perry at UFC 226.

UFC Singapore Medical Suspensions: Two Fighters Earn Max Term

Two fighters at UFC Singapore could be out for quite some time:

The post UFC Singapore Medical Suspensions: Two Fighters Earn Max Term appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

The medical suspensions for last weekend’s (Sat., June 23, 2018) UFC Fight Night 132 from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, are in, and two fighters have earned the maximum suspension.

The first of them was handed to a winning fighter in Jessica Eye, who picked up a unanimous decision victory over Jessica-Rose Clark at her new home of women’s flyweight. Following a tough run at bantamweight, Eye is looking to become the female 125-pound champ, but she’ll have to wait to continue her mission up to 180 days pending an x-ray of her left foot.

The other fighter to get the full 180 days was Matt Schnell, who will also potentially be out six months pending an x-ray of his left thumb. Schnell also won by decision in Singapore.

The main and co-main event fighters escaped with relatively little damage, as main event winner Leon Edwards will only be out 30 days for simple rest and the man he defeated, longtime veteran Donald Cerrone, will be out 45 days while two lacerations heal. Co-main winner Ovince Saint Preux only received a seven-day suspension for rest, as did his opponent Tyson Pedro.
