The fight was again booked to go down at the recently concluded UFC on ESPN 37 event in Austin, Texas. The fight, however, was canceled at the last moment as Lauzon's left knee got dislocated following the weigh-ins.

Dana White reveals whether Donald Cerrone will fight anytime soon

White further revealed that Donald Cerrone will not be fighting anytime soon. 'Cowboy' had a meeting with the UFC brass over his next fight, and the promotion ideally wanted him to fight in July. Cerrone, however, has other ideas and isn't willing to undergo another grueling weight cut too soon. "We sit, and we wanted to see if he wanted to fight in July, but he doesn’t want to cut weight again, so he won’t fight in July. We’ll figure something else out with him," White said. The timeline for his next fight is yet to be decided upon. Cerrone will be desperate to get back in the win column whenever he returns to the octagon. He is currently winless in his last six fights, and the last time he won a fight was back in 2019 against Al Iaquinta. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
