UFC Fight Night 83 is now “Cowboy vs. Cowboy”

Following last night news that Tim Means has been removed from UFC Fight Night 83, the UFC has now announced that Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira (13-3-1) will step in against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone (28-7).

Oliveira has won 6 of his last 7 fights and is on a 3 fight win streak, that includes submitting KJ Noons and knocking out Piotr Hallman. Cerrone is 8-2 in his last 10 fights and will be looking to rebound from a TKO loss to Rafael dos Anjos, that ended a 8 fight win streak. The fight will still be a 5-rounder.

Tim Means was pulled from the card for a potential anti-doping violation to do with “ostarine”. Means is currently in the process of having a 2^nd sample tested. The eye of the MMA world will be glued to see the out come of this situation.
