Donald Cerrone was expected to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 187 inside the MGM Grand Arena on May 23, 2015. Due to a knee injury, Khabib pulled out of the bout on April 30. Khabib was later replaced by John Makdessi. Towards the end of the second round, a spectacular head kick by Cowboy landed flush on Makdessi's face, leaving him completely disoriented and as a result, Cerrone won the fight by TKO.

This fight was a good back and forth one in the welterweight division at UFC 206 held inside the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. During the official weigh-in, Brown made the fight personal by refusing to shake hands with Cerrone. It would later come back to haunt Brown. Despite taking numerous blows to the face from Cerrone, Brown held his ground and retaliated with some fierce jabs and body punches. Cerrone even lost his balance a couple of times.

However, as the fight proceeded, Brown was busted open by a signature head kick by Cerrone. During the initial seconds of the third round, Brown had no answer for another of Cerrone's devastating head kick, and went crashing down on the mat as Cerrone picked up another KO.
