A lightweight matchup between Donald Cerrone and Rafael dos Anjos has been named the co-main event for UFC on FOX Sports 1: 2, which takes place Aug. 28 in Indianapolis, the UFC announced.
Cerrone (20-5) coming off a unanimous decision win over Strikeforce veteran KJ Noons at UFC 160 May 25, while dos Anjos (19-6) won a unanimous decision win over Evan Dunham one week earlier in Brazil.
Dos Anjos’ win was his fourth in a row, though many, including UFC president Dana White, felt Dunham deserved the win.
The event is headlined by a welterweight bout between former interim UFC champ Condit and longtime contender Martin Kampmann.
