LAS VEGAS – Alex Morono has nothing but respect for Donald Cerrone, but that won’t stop him from trying to take his head off on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 24 . Morono (18-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) stepped in on five days’ notice to fight Cerrone (36-15 MMA, 23-12 UFC) after Diego Sanchez was pulled from the original matchup on the ESPN-televised card at the UFC Apex. He couldn’t help but take the opportunity to fight “Cowboy,” even if the circumstances weren’t ideal. Cerrone is on the tail-end of his career and currently on a five-fight winless skid.
