In an event with 12 fights, the event, held in Ottawa, Canada, the two North Americans will headline the duel in search of a better position in the lightweight category and, who knows, be selected for a possible title fight in the future. The current linear champion of the category, Khabib Nurmagomedov will carry out, together with the newest interim champion, Dustin poirier, a title unification fight, which is being negotiated to take place in September, in Abu Dhabi.
With prestige in the company, the charismatic Donald Cerrone, 36 years old, is coming off an exciting victory over his compatriot Alexander Hernandez, in January this year. His last performance even earned praise for 'Cowboy' from the controversial Conor McGregor, who even considered a fight between the two. Negotiations, however, did not go well. Despite coming off two consecutive victories, Donald currently occupies 8th place in the division rankings. Victory over your next rival could then put you in a better position in the category.
Cerrone's opponent, To the fifth, 32, is also in a good phase. After being defeated by Khabib in the fight for the interim belt in the category, in April last year, the American recovered and won Kevin Lee in his last appointment, which took place in December last year. Currently, Al occupies 4th place in the lightweight rankings, behind Conor McGregor e Tony Ferguson.
