'Cowboy' vs. 'Cowboy' set as new UFC Fight Night 83 headliner (Updated)

(UPDATED on 2/4/16 at 2:30 p.m. ET after UFC officials formally announced the bout.)

With Tim Means out, this month’s UFC Fight Night 83 headliner will feature “Cowboy” vs. “Cowboy.”

Means (25-7-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC) was slated to fight fellow welterweight Donald Cerrone (28-7 MMA, 15-4 UFC) in the Feb. 21 headliner before a potential USADA drug-testing violation forced “Dirty” out.

Now, Cerrone will fight replacement Alex Oliveira (14-2-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC). UFC officials today announced the bout following an initial report from Combate (via Twitter):

UFC Fight Night 83 takes place Feb. 21 at Pittsburgh’s CONSOL Energy Center. The card airs on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Cerrone moves up to welterweight after falling short to lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos via 66-second TKO in December. It snapped the WEC vet’s eight-fight winning streak.

Oliveira, a 27-year-old Brazilian, has won three straight fights since a UFC-debut loss to Gilbert Burns on short notice. Most recently, he dropped from welterweight to lightweight and scored a “Performance of the Night” bonus after knocking out Piotr Hallmann in November.
