Following his win this past weekend at UFC 187, Donald Cerrone has finally been promised the next title shot.

Cerrone (28-6 MMA, 15-3 UFC), who easily handled and appeared to break the jaw of replacement John Makdessi (13-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) on Saturday’s pay-per-view main card, gets the next shot at recently crowned lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos (24-7 MMA, 13-5 UFC).

UFC President Dana White confirmed the plans with UFC.com after UFC 187, which took place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

A date and event haven’t been determined for the rematch, but after UFC 187, Cerrone said he’s willing to wait for the UFC’s currently unscheduled return to Colorado:

Dos Anjos, who’s on the mend after tearing his MCL prior to a title win over Anthony Pettis in March, hopes to return by year’s end. He’s currently ranked No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings (and No. 7 pound-for-pound). Cerrone is No. 4 in the rankings, which will be updated on Tuesday.

With his UFC 187 win, Cerrone, who was originally scheduled to fight No. 2 Khabib Nurmagomedov (22-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) before the Russian was sidelined with a knee injury, now has eight consecutive victories. They’ve all come after a decision loss to dos Anjos at UFC Fight Night 27 in 2013.
