Donald Cerrone vs. Charles Oliveira promoted to main card at UFC on Versus 5

Quote :: An intriguing lightweight contest between high-energy fighters Donald Cerrone (15-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Charles Oliveira (14-1 UFC, 2-1 UFC) has been promoted to the Versus-televised main card of UFC on Versus 5.

UFC officials announced the change late Monday night.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has since confirmed with sources close to the event that a middleweight contest between C.B. Dollaway and Jared Hamman is likely to be relegated to the preliminary card in favor of the new fight.

Featuring a welterweight headliner of Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle, UFC on Versus 5 takes place Aug. 14 at Milwaukee's Bradley Center.

The Cerrone-Oliveira matchup materialized out of a contest that was originally expected to see John Makdessi face Paul Taylor. However, "Cowboy" stepped in for an injured Makdessi, and "do Bronx" replaced an injured Taylor two weeks later.

Cerrone, a transplant from the since-folded WEC, brings a four-fight win streak to the cage, a run that includes UFC wins over Vagner Rocha and Paul Kelly. A six-time "Fight of the Night" winner while fighting under the Zuffa banner, the former professional kickboxer has posted 12 of his 15 career wins via submission.
