Donald Cerrone Getting Back Into Octagon
UFC Hall of Famer Donald Cerrone appears to be coming out of retirement to enter the octagon once again. Donald Cerrone announced his retirement from the sport back in July 2022 at UFC 276. This was after a second-round submission defeat to Jim Miller. This would be his sixth defeat in a row. After 48 overall appearances in the UFC and WEC and 55 fights in total, Donald Cerrone has said he is coming out of retirement. He hopes to be able to get to 50 overall appearances for the Zuffa brand.
“I want to go back [to the UFC] and get two more fights,” Donald Cerrone said.
“When I retired, I told you I was getting my hair done and getting on steroids.”
“The number 50 has been sitting on my mind for a while.”
Donald Cerrone said he has been working with a company and taking TRT, and a “bunch of peptides” for the last couple of years. Now he is getting ready to get off those to be able to get back into the UFC drug-testing pool.
“For all you people who are like, ‘Oh, what if you get on it, you can’t ever come off?’ Well, I now have to come off and piss clean.”
Donald Cerrone is a one-time UFC title challenger who was unsuccessful when he lost to Rafael Dos Anjos. This was back in December 2015 for the lightweight title. Cerrone has said he is planning on getting back into the octagon for a fight “in a few months”. Throughout his career, he has been able to hold a number of spots in the record books. This has included the most combined UFC/WEC post-fight bonus which he got 23.
