Cerrone is on a three-fight losing streak at welterweight. First, the North American was knocked out by Jorge masvidal, in January, then lost to the former category champion Robbie Lawler, by decision, in a balanced fight at UFC 214, in July. Afterwards, the former lightweight title challenger ended up being knocked out in the first round by the Englishman Darren till at UFC Poland, in October. The defeat to Till made Cerrone contemplate a return to the 70 kg division, an idea that never came to fruition.
Medeiros, on the other hand, is on a completely opposite trajectory. After also switching from the lightweight category to the welterweight category, the Hawaiian embarked on a streak of three consecutive victories, including knockout triumphs over the Brazilians Erick silva e Alex Cowboy. His other victory was against Sean Spencer, via submission, at UFC 203, in September last year.
