The hot rumor for the past couple weeks has been that the UFC is working to put Donald “Cowboy” Corrine in the Octagon with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 187 on Memorial Day weekend. For his part, Cerrone said on Saturday night that he had signed to fight. “I signed a contract, yes,” he confirmed, although he wouldn’t say whom he would be fighting and didn’t know if his opponent had signed his bout agreement yet. When asked specifically if he had signed to face Nurmagomedov, Cerrone was elusive. > SEE ALSO: Is Cowboy Cerrone’s Next Fight the Worst Kept Secret in the UFC?
