UFC on ESPN+ 16 preview with John Gooden: ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone vs. Justin Gaethje from all angles

RICHMOND, British Columbia – The UFC puts on one of the most anticipated non-title fights of the year Saturday with Donald Cerrone and Justin Gaethje set for a clash of lightweight contenders in the UFC on ESPN+ 16 main event.

“Cowboy” (36-12 MMA, 23-9 UFC) and Gaethje (20-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) have a combined 23 UFC fight-night bonuses between them, which is just one element of why the contest has so much potential for excitement. Moreover, the winner could be on the cusp of fighting for 155-pound gold.

To get insight into all the storylines around Cerrone vs. Gaethje, watch the video above as MMA Junkie senior reporter Mike Bohn and UFC analyst/commentator John Gooden preview the contest.
