“My legacy, that’s what I want it to be, man,” Cerrone said. “I want to be like ‘f**k, Cowboy’s fighting, we’ve got to f**king watching this’. If I’m on Fight Pass, ‘we’ve got to pull over, stop the bus, we’ve got to download the app and watch this’, if it’s pay-per-view, ‘we’ve got to find a bar,’ right? I don’t care if people watch the rest of the card or just me. Just get in there. Cowboy’s fighting, he’s going to give it everything he’s got.

“To me, that’s the dying name I want. I want to be the guy that everybody loved to watch fight because, no matter who, no matter the beef, I got up, I fought, and I had integrity and respect afterwards. To me, that’s what’s important.”

Donald Cerrone last fought in November, when he defeated “Platinum” Mike Perry by first-round submission. This win was preceded by a decision loss to Leon Edwards and a first-round TKO of Yancy Medeiros. Cerrone is 34-11 overall.
