UFC on ESPN 37 pre-event facts: ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone can be first with two dozen octagon wins

The UFC makes its return to Austin, Texas for the first time since February 2018 on Saturday with UFC on ESPN 37, which takes place at Moody Center with a main card that airs on ESPN following prelims on ESPNNews.

A marquee featherweight matchup takes center in stage in the main event. Ranked contenders Calvin Kattar (23-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and Josh Emmett (17-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) will meet in a clash that will help elevate the winner toward his first UFC title shot.

The co-headliner, meanwhile, will see a pair of lightweight legends face off. Donald Cerrone (36-16 MMA, 23-13 UFC) and Joe Lauzon (28-15 MMA, 15-12 UFC) finally get their chance to scrap after a fight-day cancellation at UFC 274 in April.
