Donald Cerrone Thinks A UFC 207 Fight With Demian Maia Makes The Most Sense

In an interview with MMA Fighting during a UFC 205 media scrum, Donald Cerrone said that a fight with Demian Maia at UFC 207 makes the most sense to him right now. He will fight Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 205 on November 12.

He said: “What I really want to do (after UFC 205), which I think makes the most sense right now is Demian Maia. Let’s see if Demian will be ready to fight on December 30th. He’s up there kicking ass, so that’s what I want to fight. He’s probably the guy to fight next for the title, right? He’s crushing everybody. A lot of those people get scared of people when they’re good. I like it. So, bring that sh-t on.”

While he’s currently competing at 170, he said he would drop down in weight if certain conditions were met. He added: “Oh man, if the money’s right, I’d damn sure would make 145 (pounds). No problem. It would suck, but here I am today, this morning, I was 176/177 pounds, eating whatever I want. So, it’s nice to fight up and heavy, right? For sure.”
