Two of the longest-tenured and most notable fighters on the UFC roster are on a collision course for a lightweight showdown.
The promotion is targeting an April 30 bout between Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon for a UFC Fight Night event, which will take place at a location and venue still to be announced.

The two fighters have a combined 64 UFC appearances.
Cerrone (36-16 MMA, 23-13 UFC) looks to snap a six-fight winless streak that includes five losses (four by finish) and one no contest. Cerrone’s most recent win occurred in May 2019 when he dominated Al Iaquinta en route to a unanimous decision.
Lauzon (28-15 MMA, 15-12 UFC) has not competed since October 2019 when he returned from an 18-month layoff. In front of his home crowd in Boston, Lauzon finished Jonathan Pearce with punches to snap a three-fight losing skid. After the fight, UFC president Dana White said Lauzon indicated the fight would be his last, a claim the fighter disputed.
