With Tim Means being pulled from his headlining bout against Donald Cerrone due to an out of competition drug test last week, the event took a small hit. Now, the event will be headlined next Sunday (February 21, 2016) by a battle of nicknames as “Cowboy” Cerrone takes on Brazilian Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Since the event will air on Fox Sports 1, the main card is expected to feature six bouts in total. Accompanying the Cowboy main event will be an intriguing middleweight bout between surging contenders Roan Carneiro and Derek Brunson. Carneiro has gone 2-0 with two quick finishes in his return to the Octagon while Brunson has won three straight including two first round knockouts in a row. Perhaps the fight everyone will have their eyes set on the most is the bantamweight battle between undefeated Cody Garbrandt and Brazilian bomber John Lineker. Lineker made a thunderous debut at bantamweight in his last fight against Francisco Rivera while Garbrandt has gone 2-0 in his brief UFC career thus far.
