Donald Cowboy Cerrone News

Tom Taylor - November 7, 2016

This Saturday, on the main card of the universally anticipated UFC 205, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone will look to move to 4-0 as a welterweight with a win over highly-regarded contender Kelvin Gastelum. The fight stands out as one of the most anticipated features of the event. Gastelum is not, however, the man Cowboy was originally supposed to face. Instead, Cowboy was initially expected to mix it up with a fellow fan favorite in Robbie Lawler in a fight that seemed like a surefire recipe for ultraviolence. Unfortunately, Lawler was forced to withdraw from this fight just days after it was announced in a grim twist that left fight fans wiping tears from their eyes. The former welterweight champ called Cowboy to break the bad news personally.

The historic UFC 205 event taking place in New York’s Madison Square Garden will go down next weekend. UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has a chance to make history when he meets UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez in the center of the Octagon. If McGregor finds his hand raised over Alvarez on November 12, he will become the first fighter in UFC history to be a concurrent two-weight UFC champ.

Donald Cerrone may have spent most of his UFC career as a top ranked lightweight, however Cerrone has recently been on a tear of the UFC’s welterweight division as he has gone 3-0 over the course of 2016. In his welterweight debut, Cerrone submitted Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira before making it 2-0 when he became the first man to TKO Patrick Cote during ‘UFC Fight Night: Ottawa’. Most recently, Cerrone stepped into the Octagon against Rick Story at UFC 202 back in August, delivering a spectacular highlight reel TKO to earn himself the #6 ranking on the UFC’s official rankings.

Some people prefer to keep their political opinions to themselves, while others are proud to bare their political allegiances on the table. Fighters, of course, are no exception to this rule. In some cases it’s a complete mystery as to which way a fighter might vote. In other cases, fighter’s political leanings can be clear as day. This latter option is true in the case of fan favorite welterweight Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, who has been an outspoken supporter of a Donald Trump in the lead-up to the looming American election.

It’s unfortunate, but it’s true: tension between the UFC and its fighters is at an all-time high. After weeks of failed negotiations, welterweight legend Georges St-Pierre recently made the claim that he’d terminated his UFC contract and that he’d be testing free agency. Featherweight great Jose Aldo has asked to be released from his UFC contract so he can leave the sport altogether. Top contenders Khabib Nurmagomedov and Julianna Peña have both recently flirted with UFC departures after being stiffed on title shots. Featherweight veteran Tatsuya Kawajiri has asked to be released from his contract. The list goes on and on.

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, who is ranked in the top-10 at both lightweight and welterweight, is loved for his busy fight schedule, his fan-friendly fighting style, and his wild life outside the cage. Really, the talented Colorado Springs native is just the kind of guy whose brain you’d like to pick over a couple of beers at your local bar.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is far more than a fantastic fighter. He’s also a venomous trash talker. Though many have attempted to hang with the Irishman on the mic, very few have actually been able to match him in that department.

On November 12th, Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez will step into the Octagon in the main event of UFC 205 to square off for Alvarez’ UFC lightweight championship. While Alvarez hopes to play spoiler to McGregor’s plans of becoming a 2-division champion, Mystic Mac has predicted that he will finish the “loopy wrestler with an overhand right” in the very first round. While many consider McGregor’s prediction of a finish over the lightweight champion to be a bold one, fan favorite fighter Donald Cerrone flat out thinks it’s wrong.

“I can make you rich. I’ll change your bum life. You fight me, it’s a celebration. When you sign to fight me, it’s a celebration. You ring back home, you ring your wife. ‘Baby, we’ve done it! We’re rich, baby! Conor McGregor made us rich. Break out the red panties! We’re rich baby!” That was the notorious statement from Conor McGregor, which he addressed towards the at the time UFC lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos at the UFC’s “Go Big” press conference in 2015.

While Donald Cerrone is undoubtably one of the top lightweights on the UFC roster, ‘Cowboy’ has left MMA fans stunned when he steps into the Octagon at welterweight. At 6 feet tall, and with a 73 inch reach, Cowboy certainly isn’t the biggest welterweight on the roster, however time and time again he has proven that his technique makes him a welterweight to be feared.
