Former Pittsburgh scrapper Mac Danzig has agree to fight Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone at UFC 131 In Vancouver. Apparently the talk has already started as Danzig reportedly tweeted the following:
"So all you have to do to secure a fight you haven't earned is wear a silly hat, call yourself "cowboy" and talk trash? Seems strange." -Source
This is a another high profile fight for Danzig as Cerrone is a fairly big name within the now debunk WEC promotion. This fight will be great for Mac because Cerrone has a light touch on the feet and his sub game is good, but not better than Danzigs.
Mac Danzig won The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season six back in Dec., 2007 and showed all the promise in the world. Submitting jiu-jitsu specialist Mark Bocek in his next bout only solidified that.
However, he promptly lost four of his next five bouts and went strolling into his UFC 124 clash against Joe Stevenson with his job on the line.
With his back pressed firmly against the wall, the Ohioan came out swinging and put "Daddy" down for a nap with a one-hitter quitter that won him "Knockout of the Night."
Anyone think he can put in a repeat performance?
UFC 131 is shaping up to be a blockbuster summer event, featuring a main event of massive proportions when Brock Lesnar and Junior dos Santos collide for the right to face Cain Velasquez for the heavyweight championship.
Mark Munoz is also booked to face Demian Maia, while Kenny Florian will make his featherweight debut against wily scrapper Diego Nunes.
