Tickets on sale this Friday for UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs Miller
Currently riding a three-fight win streak, fifth-ranked lightweight contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone (23-6, 1 NC, fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) returns to action for the fourth time in eight months to take on tough veteran Jim Miller. After stopping Evan Dunham (Submission of the Night), Adriano Martins (Knockout of the Night), and Edson Barboza (Performance of the Night), Cerrone is as dangerous and hungry as ever with plans to add Miller’s name to his list of accomplishments. After besting Joe Lauzon, Fabricio Camoes, and Yancy Madeiros, seventh-ranked Jim Miller (24-4, 1 NC, fighting out of Whippany, N.J.) knows that a win in his home state over fan-favorite Cerrone could stamp his ticket to title contention.
