The Cowboy connection is obvious, but there's the attitude a well. Like Jarrett, Cowboy Cerrone has been around a long time, fighting in several promotions (including the WEC, which held the best lower-weight fighters until the UFC purchased it). He is extremely decorated, winning multiple performance bonuses (the only fighter to have won Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night, Knockout of the Night, and Performance of the Night throughout his UFC career). He had 2009's Fight of the Year, and was the Breakthrough Fighter of 2011. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYzKvy6lLGY Later this year, he'll challenge Lightweight Champ Rafael Dos Anjos for the title - Cowboy's first ever title shot in the UFC. The best part about him - he'll take on anyone, anywhere, which is a little like Jarrett's attitude.
