UFC on ESPN+ 9 is headlined by a lightweight clash between 'Raging' Al Iaquinta and Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone, who are the division's respective No. 4 and No. 8 contenders.

Iaquinta was last seen dispatching Kevin Lee via unanimous decision during their much-anticipated rematch in December. Meanwhile, Cowboy will look to earn his way back into the division's top-five ranks with another win.
