If you match just about anyone up with Donald Cerrone , you’re likely to have an exciting fight. Same goes with Justin Gaethje . So if you match Cerrone (38-12 MMA, 23-9 UFC) and Gaethje (20-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) against one another, well, you just might have your most natural mix since someone over at Reese’s first put peanut butter and chocolate together. Some weeks, the UFC puts on shows simply to fill out the contractual obligations that come with its mammoth ESPN deal, which turns the proceedings into a slog for even the most hardcore of fans. Then there are events like UFC on ESPN+ 16 on Saturday which stand out from the pack. The lightweight showdown between Gaethje and Cerrone is a must-watch, and there are other interesting competitors sprinkled in for good measure.
