UFC on Fox: dos Anjos vs. Cowboy 2 (also known as UFC on Fox 17) was a mixed martial arts event held on December 19, 2015, at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.

Background

The event was headlined by a UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Rafael dos Anjos and top contender Donald Cerrone. Dos Anjos won their first fight at UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Kampmann 2 by unanimous decision.

Germaine de Randamie was scheduled to face Sarah Kaufman at the event. However, De Randamie pulled out of the fight on December 3 citing an injury. On December 11, she was replaced by promotional newcomer Valentina Shevchenko.

Charles Oliveira missed weight on his first attempt at the weigh ins, coming in at 150.5 lb. He was given additional time to make the weight limit, but made no attempts to cut further. Instead, he was fined 20 percent of his fight purse, which went to Myles Jury. This marked the third time that Oliveira missed weight in his UFC career.

By reporters and UFC fans alike, UFC on Fox 17 is regarded as one of the greatest cards that the UFC has ever offered on broadcast television. Future UFC stars such as Nate Diaz and Vicente Luque, and future champions Valentina Shevchenko, Charles Oliveira, and Francis Ngannou were all victorious on this card. Additionally, Kamaru Usman defeated Leon Edwards by unanimous decision; the two met in a rematch for the UFC Welterweight Championship on August 20, 2022, headlining UFC 278. Edwards won by knockout in the fifth round.
