UFC Fight Night is set to get going this weekend from Moody Center in Austin, TX on Saturday, June 18. There is a six-bout main card that will begin at 7 p.m. ET and air on ESPN and ESPN+. The card is highlighted by a lightweight fight between Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon. This fight was scheduled to take place at UFC 274 but was postponed to this event.
Cerrone enters with a 36-16 record and has retirement on the mind. He has lost five of his last six fights with the other being ruled a no contest. Most recently, he was knocked out in the first round against Alex Morono. Of his 36 career wins, 27 have come before a decision with 10 victories by knockout and 17 by submission.
The 38-year-old Lauzon will be returning to the octagon for the first time since October of 2019. He secured the first-round knockout against Jonathan Pearce. Lauzon has been fighting professionally since 2004 but has been working hard to return to the ring to show he still has something left in the tank.
