https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0BrdMi-oyc Welcome, Blondie, to the GDT for UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy, 9 p.m. ET Sunday, Feb. 21, 2016 on Fox Sports 1! Hear that sound? That's the sound of shutters snapping shut and women snatching their younguns off the dirt streets as the gangs role into town. Seems we’ve got ourselves a regular Mexican standoff on our hands come high noon. The lights are dimmed, the tension’s set, and now all there is to do is see who’s fastest on the draw. Let’s take a look at the men with no names who will be entertaining us for the next few hours, hombre. Welterweight  Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone vs.  Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira Cerrone. The Stranger, The Hunter, The Bounty Killer, Mister Sudden Death, Señor Ninguno, The Man With No Realistic Title Aspirations at Lightweight. After getting smoked by Rafael dos Anjos, Cerrone’s making the move north of the border to Lawler Territory. He swears no allegiance and abides the laws of neither men nor sponsorships contracts. Watch out, because the guns are going to blaze in this fight. Despite this being Cerrone’s welterweight debut, this is kind of still a fight between two lightweights due to short notice. Oliveira answered the bounty on Cerrone’s head when Cowboy The First’s original dance partner, Tim Means, proved to be very much a dirty bird. Cowboy da Segunda has fought in both divisions in the UFC and has done fairly well for himself, losing his debut but putting away the likes of K.J. Noons and Piotr Hallman. Needless to say, Cerrone is a big step up from that level of competition, but Oliveira is surely aiming to make his second $50,000 claim in a row. Middleweight  Derek Brunson vs.  Roan "Jucão" Carneiro Derek Brunson is a no-good cowardly cur who rudely and illegally wrestlefucked my best friend Chris Leben and KO’d my other best friend Sam Alvey. He also knocked out Ed Herman, though, so he’s not all that bad. Roan Carneiro is an elderly jiu jitsu grandfather who hopped in Doc Brown’s DeLorean when it visited the Wild West (2008) to visit the present day, strangling Mark Munoz to the point of legal homicide thanks to reffing incompetence. He hasn’t fought since then, but he holds previous UFC losses to Ryo Chonan and Jon Fitch before beating up cans in Tulsa, Oklahoma and then moving up in weight, so you know he’s going to do quite well in the modern middleweight division under increased drug testing scrutiny. Bantamweight  Cody "No Love" Garbrandt vs.  Augusto "No Wiki" Mendes Garbrandt’s KO’d a bunch of dudes, including Marcus Brimage. The only person to survive the distance with him is Enrique “Henry Bure” Briones, the Tijuana scurge who you might recall from legendary shootouts on the streets of TUF: Latin America and a page on the Sherdog Saloon. As I write my obligatory sentence pertaining to Augusto Mendes, I regret already using the Man With No Name reference multiple times previously in this OP. Featherweight  Dennis "the Menace" Bermudez vs.  Tatsuya "Crusher" Kawajiri Bermudez used to run in the old Mayhem Miller Gang before he was runt off by that mean sumbitch DB Brandao. Bermudez tore up a swath through anyone who stood in his way in the meantime, trying to earn his place at the top of the gang once more. Unfortunately he was no match for Lawman Lamas or the Outlaw Jeremy Stephens and he’s back to where he started. He hopes to turn around his luck one last time, so maybe he’s got an ace up his sleeve. Meanwhile from across the ocean, Crusher Kawajiri was doing some Sukiyaki Western Django poo poo of his own. He’s been around for a long time and only recently made it into the UFC. The only people he’s beaten whom you’ve heard of in the last five years are Dennis Siver and Drew the Dinosaur Fickett. His lone UFC loss is Clay Guida, though, so he’s up 8 in his last 9 at least? Perhaps he can pull it together in time to remind us of the days where he was beating Crazy Horse and Yves Edwards. Middleweight  Chris “the Bad” Camozzi vs.  Joe “the Ugly” Riggs  Lightweight  James "The James Krause" Krause vs.  Shane "Shaolin" Campbell James Krause is 3-3 in his UFC run. His wins are all finishes, one of which an extremely gross between-rounds TKO when he hosed up a stupid unimportant person’s ankle real bad. He nearly had his early ticket into the UFC before being upset to get into the house on TUF Live by Justin Lawrence, but he’s fought in just about every other relevant lighter-weight promotion you can think of recently, from WEC to Bellator to Titan FC. A win over Shane Campbell will put the submission ace on his first big-show win streak. At a glance, Campbell’s career looks a little cleaner than Krause’s. He’s 1-1 in the UFC with a TKO loss to John Makdessi and a win over that one Elias who isn’t the Harlequin cover model with the golden locks. He also had a very long and decorated Muay Thai/kickboxing career prior to his transition to MMA, so we start the main card off with the classic striker-vs-grappler Mexican standoff. Other poo poo to Watch FS1 Prelims, 7 p.m. ET Welterweight Alex Garcia vs. Sean Strickland Middleweight Daniel Sarafian vs. Oluwale Bamgbose Middleweight Anthony Smith vs. Leonardo Augusto Guimarães Welterweight Sammy Bayerri vs. Nathan Coy Fight Pass Prelims, 5:30 p.m. ET Women's Bantamweight Marion Reneau vs. Ashlee Evans-Smith Women's Bantamweight Lauren Murphy vs. Kelly Faszholz Heavyweight Anthony Hamilton vs. Shamil Abdurakhimov Official weigh-ins, 4 p.m. ET Saturday, Feb. 20 http://www.ufc.com/media/fight-night-pittsburgh-official-weigh-in-2016 Official MMA Snack Rating: Spaghetti Western  Ingredients Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed 1/2 pound ground beef 1 small Vidalia onion, diced 2 celery stalks, diced 1 carrot, diced 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 (8-ounce) can tomato puree 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained 1/2 box dried spaghetti pasta (about 8 ounces) Red chile pepper flakes, for garnish Grated pecorino, for garnish Grated Cheddar cheese, for garnish Fresh basil, sage and parsley, chopped, for garnish Directions Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Brown the ground beef, using a wooden spoon to break it up, then remove the browned beef from the pan. In the same pan, add the onion, celery, and carrot. Add more olive oil, if needed. Add the ground beef back in the pan and add the broth. Stir to deglaze the pan. Add the tomato puree and let it simmer until reduced by 1/3. Add the cumin and cinnamon, and then the beans. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions, or until al dente. Drain the pasta and mix with the meat sauce. Top with the grated pecorino, Cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, basil, sage, and parsley.

I saw Shamrock v Gracie yesterday and just rewatched Kimbo vs. DadaFIVETHOUSAND, and I'm scared I won't feel anything anymore.

Does Dennis Bermudez really call himself the menace? I always thought he was the fufessional.

Have the main-eventers agreed to a nickname wager where the loser can never be called cowboy again because that would actually make this fight a little interesting?

The Dagestani has a weird head. And if this sport has taught me anything, its that the worst looking cards are the best cards...

Either of these guys would have outright murdered Kimbo or Dada. And possibly both at once.

Nah, Hamilton looks okay compared to Kimbo. By this point in the fight neither of those guys could even move faster than a slow walk.

One thing -- and probably the only thing -- cool about the Rebook deal is what it must be like for someone like Fasholz to get a truckload of UFC gear with her name on it after taking a short notice fight. The 'holy poo poo I've arrived' moment...

That probably could've been stopped a few seconds earlier. Faszholz looked good until the third. I'm a fan.
