Less than three days after beating Myles Jury at UFC 182, Donald Cerrone has already confirmed his next commitment inside the Octagon. The tireless “Caubói”, who had six fights in the last 15 months, winning them all, will face Ben henderson on January 18th, in Boston (USA), at UFC Fight Night 59.

Cerrone will replace Eddie Alvarez, Henderson's original opponent, who caught a bad cold that took him out of training in the final stretch of preparation. The fight, in fact, will mark the trilogy between old acquaintances, as Henderson has already defeated Cerrone twice in the now defunct WEC (once by submission and once by decision), in fights valid for the lightweight belt.
The main fight of UFC Fight Night 59 will be between fighters from the featherweight division Conor McGregor and Dennis Siver. The only Brazilian at the event will be Gleison Tibau, who faces Norman Parke.
