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.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the targeted booking but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
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.
With the addition, the April 30 lineup includes:
The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday’s card, rewarding four main card stoppages. After UFC on ESPN 55, four fighters took home an extra $50,000 for their performances at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Check out the winners below.
