What's not to love about a guy who says he's willing to fight anyone, anywhere, any time, then backs it up? Just 15 days after defeating the previously undefeated Myles Jury, Cerrone will take on former lightweight champion Benson Henderson for the third time. He's lost to Henderson twice before, but he still doesn't care about taking the fight short notice, and that makes Cerrone a standout in a sport that's supposed to be about who the best fighter on the planet is. This is an incredibly tough test for Cerrone, but if he wins, he could get a title shot and chance to avenge another loss against Anthony Pettis later in 2015. And win or lose, Cowboy is going to break out this year. He has more personality in his pinky finger than Benson Henderson, Jose Aldo, and Johny Hendricks combined.
