98 Days Out: Donald Cerrone Vs Yves Edwards Booked For UFC On FUEL 3

Continuing with the bout annoucements, lightweight veterans Donald Cerrone and Yves Edwards will do battle at the UFC event scheduled for May 15th in Virginia. There is some confusion as to whether or not this card will be on FX or Fuel, as the bout was made official via the FUEL TV twitter account, while other references to it have it being broadcast by FX. I will be referring to this card as UFC on FUEL 3 from now on.

Cerrone is coming off a one-sided decision loss to Nathan Diaz at UFC 141. Prior to the defeat, he had won four UFC fights in a row after moving to the company from the WEC. He is 4-1 in the Octagon. Edwards is coming off a decision loss himself, althought his fight with Tony Ferguson was considerably closer, with some suggesting that Edwards deserved the win. Edwards has fought 14 times as a lightweight in the Octagon, stretching all the way back to UFC 37. He is 9-5 in his UFC career.

Cerrone is the 13th ranked lightweight in the world. He fights out of Jackson's MMA.
Edwards is unranked. He fights out of American Top Team.

The fight card now has three matches scheduled.
