Yancy Medeiros with the TKO win over Alex Oliveira in a fight of the year caliber match! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC218?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC218<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8jeOSmU60n\">https:\/\/t.co\/8jeOSmU60n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UFCONFOX\/status\/937146643014545408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Yancy Medeiro is fresh off his &#8216;Fight of the Year&#8217; contender with Alex Oliveira that was so good the UFC had to give a &#8216;Fight of the Night&#8217; bonus too even though they also gave it to Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje&#8217;s fight at UFC 218. That fight had everything: a back-and-forth war, action in every second, great shows of muual respect, and a late round finish. That win earned him a spot inside the welterweight rankings and a hype that the Waianae native hasn&#8217;t seen yet in his career. His high-profile win on the same card as his training partner and friend Max Holloway put eyes on him and now he&#8217;ll get to showcase his improvements on Donald &#8216;Cowboy&#8217; Cerrone.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboy on the other hand, had been on a tear through welterweight until he starting hitting some road blocks, most notably former champion Robbie Lawler and stone-fisted newcomer Darren Till. This prompted him to <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/donald-cowboy-cerrone\/video-donald-cowboy-cerrone-changing-weight-divisions\/\">talk about a trip back to lightweight<\/a> and taking less fights in a year, but it looks like that isn&#8217;t happening just yet. We&#8217;ll be here to announce if and when this becomes official, but this sounds like a great fight for both guys that will certainly be a fan-favorite.<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 12\/26\/2017.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald &#8216;Cowboy&#8217; Cerrone has been frustrated recently.
