Donald Cerrone Moves to Welterweight, Faces Tim Means in UFC Fight Night 82 Main Event
After coming up short in his UFC on FOX 17 lightweight title fight against champion Rafael dos Anjos, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone’s next fight will be in the welterweight division.
UFC officials announced on Firday that Cerrone would face Tim Means in the UFC Fight Night 82 main event on Feb. 21 in Pittsburgh. It will be Cerrone’s debut at 170 pounds.

Means competed four times in 2015 and is coming off a knockout win over John Howard at UFC Fight Night 80 on Dec. 10. He went 3-1 for the year with the one loss coming to sixth-ranked Matt Brown.
Cerrone had an eight-fight winning streak snapped in his last outing and hopes to rebound from the loss in a new weight class.
UFC Fight Night 82: Cerrone vs. Means takes place at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. It will be the second event the Las Vegas-based fight promotion has hosted in Pennsylvania’s second largest city.
