Diego Sanchez was scheduled to face Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at the UFC event on May 8. It was supposed to be ‘The Nightmare’ Sanchez’s retirement fight, but the veteran has withdrawn from the bout due to undisclosed reasons. Despite the event being just under 10 days away, Donald Cerrone is still willing to fight and is waiting for a challenger at 170 lbs.
One name that has been brought into the mix is Randy Brown. ‘Rude Boy’ (13-4) is an orthodox fighter and competes in the UFC’s Welterweight division.
The Welterweight fighter, who has remained inconsistent since his arrival in the UFC, desperately needs to be active and get on a winning streak to rise in the rankings. Therefore, Brown recently showed his interest in fighting Cerrone by replacing Sanchez at the event.
