The welterweight clash had been due to take place on July 8 at UFC 213 in Nevada, but Cerrone is said to have suffered an unspecified injury which will cause another postponement.

Cerrone and Lawler had originally been scheduled to lock horns as far back as November of last year at UFC 205, only for Lawler to withdraw with reports claiming he felt unready to return to the Octagon so soon after being knocked out by Tyron Woodley.
