At UFC 206, Donald Cerrone made it a point to repeatedly request the powers that be to let him make a quick turnaround to fight in his hometown of Denver.
Apparently, his wish has been granted.
Reports have emerged that Cerrone is scheduled to face Jorge Masvidal in a three round bout on the under card of the event, which will be headlined by Julianna Pena and Valentina Shevchenko.
Masvidal and Cowboy have actually had increasingly frequent clashes over social media, which seems to have been the basis of the UFC’s decision.
