OTTAWA - One of the most active fighters in UFC history, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone will fight for the sixth time since the start of 2015 when he faces Canadian Patrick Cote at UFC Ottawa.

While everyone going up against a Canadian on this card knows they are going to have to face both the fighters and the crowd, Cerrone is ready for the Ottawa ire, though he's not completely convinced they are going to be against him.

"I've fought all around the world and on every continent except Antarctica and I've been booed many times; it's alright, I like it," said Cerrone. "But how do you know I'm going to get booed?"

The 33-year-old is adding Ottawa to a long list of places where he's stepped into rings and Octagons to compete over his combat sports career and he's not against adding more exotic locals to the list.

"I wouldn't mind fighting somewhere cool - I've fought in Morocco, Africa so a crazy destination would be fine," said Cerrone. "I'd go back to Japan, I love Japan, so who knows."

As for his opponent, the Canadian veteran Cote, Cerrone feels like he's got the measure of the Rimouski-born fighter.

"His striking is very rudimentary, his ground game is good, he's going to try to wrestle me and take me to the ground and control the fight there," explained Cerrone.

"I think I'm faster than him, so if I watch out for his big right hand I should be alright."

Cerrone, who currently sits fourth in the UFC's lightweight ranking, will be contesting his second straight fight at welterweight following a first round submission victory over Alex Oliveira, who also moved up weight classes at UFC Pittsburgh in February.  

He feels that facing a true welterweight in Cote will be different at the new weight.

"Patrick is really my first test at 170, he's fought at 205 and 185 so he's really a big boy, he's got some size on me so we'll see. I'm going to come unglued, that's all I can do."

As for making his move to welterweight permanent, the Denver native is just looking for more fights and to make his name as being one of the most exciting fighters in the game.

"Whatever they offer me next, I don't care," said Cerrone. "People ask me all the time 'You're not title bound?' My legacy is that I want people to hear that Cowboy is fighting and they stop what they're doing and watch that fight. Stay tuned, maybe get booed."
