Donald Cerrone Delivers Message To UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez

Since a loss to then-UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos late in 2015, Donald Cerrone has piled up wins while competing in the welterweight division.

“Cowboy” will look to add Rick Story to his resume this Saturday night when the two collide at UFC 202, but he has plans to return to the 155-pound division after.

“I’m coming after Alvarez. Eddie, New York City, let’s make that happen,” Cerrone said on UFC Tonight earlier this week.”

Alvarez won the belt with a first round finish last month of dos Anjos and has made it known he would like the winner of Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz. Khabib Nurmagomedov is also making claims to being the No. 1 contender and has called out Alvarez.

It was Cerrone who welcomed Alvarez to the UFC back in 2014, earning a decision over the former Bellator champion.
