                    <p>Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone spoke with Ariel Helwani ahead of his fight with Adriano Martins Saturday night at UFC on FOX&nbsp;10 live on free television.</p>

Cerrone is a top-10 lightweight, a precarious spot where a win can mean a title shot is tantalizingly close, and a loss means the ladder just turned into one the NYPD uses to get half way up a skyscraper.

Thus most fighters try to choose an opponent carefully, where a win is huge, and a loss not so bad. With seven 'of the Night' performance bonuses, Cerrone has earned theat right. But Cowboy is not most fighters.

He said he wants to fight six times in 2014.

"If there's anybody on the bench that wants a fight, Cowboy will fight you," he said. "I'm not trying to protect my ranking. You want to fight, let's fight."

Not only did Cerrone mean it, he doesn't even know who his opponent is.

"Never heard of him, don't care," Cerrone told Ariel Helwani. "Saturday night he better show up."

Martins is a Brazilian black belt in BJJ on a six-fight win streak, coming off of wins last year over Jorge Gurgel in Strikeforce, and Daron Cruickshank in the UFC.

Will always root for Cowboy. His performances in his losses have been a letdown but when he's on, he is one person you couldn't pay me a fortune to stand across from the cage from.

Hoping he finishes his opponent early so he and Cole can go to war. Phone Post 3.0

That's so true. He's freakin black and white man. When he's on he seems unstoppable, but when he's not, he just freezes. It's gotta be setting mental cuz his abilities are incredible. Phone Post 3.0

joseito - I thought Cowboy made a call to get a earlier fight,if that's the case who cares who he's fighting,don't disrespect your opponent........ It would be funny if the "nobody" beats Cowboy.
Did he call h a nobody? I didn't see that. I thought he just said he'd never heard of him. He didn't know who he was. He did say whoever it is better be ready to fight. I didn't see anything disrespectful Phone Post 3.0
