A welterweight division attraction has been added to UFC Fight Night Denver according to Brett Okamoto of ESPN as #12 Donald Cerrone faces Mike Perry.
Cerrone (33-11-0-1NC) has won just one of his last five under the UFC banner, with that lone win coming over Yancy Medeiros at UFC Fight Night Austin. Cerrone is also going to be competing in a three round bout for the first time since UFC 214, which wound up being a decision loss to Robbie Lawler. Cerrone is also getting a home state fight, marking the first time he has fought in Colorado since a loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC On Fox 23.
Perry (12-3-0) has won just one of his last three in UFC competition, with that victory coming over Paul Felder by split decision at UFC 226. Perry has seen his last three bouts go the distance and it has been nearly a year since the fighter got a finish. Perry has suffered a total of three defeats as a professional MMA fighter and all of those losses have come by way of decision.
UFC Fight Night Denver takes place on Saturday, November 10 from the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado with Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, which airs live on Fox Sports 1.
