8 Fights To Make After UFC 246

6. Donald Cerrone Vs. Vincente Luque

At this point in his career, can the UFC just put Donald Cerrone in fights that are going to excite, but don't feel like he's being set-up to fail? Many people had McGregor beating Cerrone, but no-one imagined it would happen so quickly. Now it's quite clear that Cerrone is very much passed his prime, so let's put him in some fun fights that suit his style.

After getting schooled by Stephen Thompson in his last fight, Brazilian slugger, Vincente Luque, is exactly the type of fight that would excite Cowboy. Not only will he have someone who is willing to stand trade with him, he's also got someone who is dangerous enough on the floor that he can keep him honest there too. It's certainly not as difficult as the McGregor fight was, but it's not a walk in the park either.

Luque possesses a bunch of amazing offensive skills, but also has lapses in his defence that will give Cerrone the chance to land attacks of his own.
