Back in welterweight win column, Donald Cerrone wishes for 165-pound division

AUSTIN – So far, a UFC title has eluded Donald Cerrone at 155 and 170 pounds. But if the UFC promoted a division in between, maybe that might change. Cerrone (33-10 MMA, 20-7 UFC), who on Sunday got back in the win column as a UFC welterweight, believes he’d be an even better fighter at 165 pounds. “I can make 160 (pounds),” he said after stopping Yancy Medeiros (15-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) in an FS1-televised welterweight headlier at UFC Fight Night 126, which took place at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. “It’s that last little bit, I just don’t have the bodyfat, or I’m too lean.” Cerrone ate nachos and pizza and drank beer the night before weigh-ins for Sunday’s event, and he still woke up at 168 pounds. Lightweight, where he’s fought the bulk of his career and found great success, is a tough ask these days
