Full media scrum: Donald Cerrone eyes UFC 209 fight, 2017 title shot ahead of UFC on FOX 23

DENVER – Donald Cerrone hasn’t always cared much about wearing a UFC title belt. Truthfully, he still probably doesn’t. But he sure would appreciate the cash that comes along with the accessory.

Cerrone (32-7 MMA, 19-4 UFC) faces Jorge Masvidal (31-11 MMA, 8-4 UFC) at UFC on FOX 23 takes place Saturday at Denver’s Pepsi Center. It airs on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Afterward, Cerrone hopes to get back in the cage five weeks later at UFC 209 in Las Vegas, and “Cowboy” believes he’ll challenge for the UFC welterweight belt later this year. Cerrone outlined his plans to reporters at today’s UFC on FOX 23 open workouts at EXDO Event Center in Denver. Check out the video above to hear it all.
