I’ve got Robbie Lawler calling me everyday. That kid wants to get back in there so bad.

Cerrone knocked Rick Story out at UFC 202 and has been wanting to get another match date set quickly. Cerrone has also just inked an 8-fight contract and it looks like he wants to kick it off with a fight against Lawler.
White should definitely take this into consideration, as this would be a great match-up in the welterweight division. Let’s see if Cerrone’s Twitter game can help get him into the octagon and fist to fist with Lawler.
