Donald ”Cowboy” Cerrone će se 28. januara suočiti Jorge Masvidalom na ”UFC on FOX 23″ ali Cerrone već planira šta i kako dalje. On bi želelo da se bori sa Demian Maiaom ili Robbie Lawlerom već u martu, pročitajte njegovu izjavu za ”FOXSports”: 

“I just care about keep on fighting. I know they’ve got the (Tyron) Woodley-(Stephen) Thompson fight coming in March. I wouldn’t mind getting a No. 1 contender fight in March also maybe on the same card and then fight the winner of those two.

Whoever, if I could fight in March. I know the title fight, they’re going to be fighting in March so we’ll have to get a No. 1 contender. Hopefully, Demian Maia will (expletive) want to pull the trigger and not just keep waiting or Robbie (Lawler). Whoever’s above us. I don’t even care. I don’t (expletive) give a (expletive).

Let’s do it. If I could get six fights in 2017, my coaches would be happy, I’ll be happy and we’ll get a title fight and defend that (expletive) three times, I’ll be good to go!”

Cerrone ima četiri pobede iza sebe i poslednji put se suočio sa Matt Brownom kad je pobedio prekidom na UFC206.
