Donald Cerrone Responds To Conor McGregor & Internet Trolls
UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor recently accused Donald Cerrone of quitting against Rafael dos Anjos, here’s his response….
Former UFC lightweight title contender Donald Cerrone returns in the main event of UFC Fight Night 83 tonight (Sunday February 21, 2016) as he faces fellow cowboy Alex Oliveira at welterweight. Cerrone makes his 170-pound debut against the Brazilian grappler with knockout power in an attempt to revive his career after a tough loss in his last lightweight fight.
Facing the 155-pound champion Rafael dos Anjos in December 2015, ‘Cowboy’ got dominated and finished by strikes in the first round. ‘RDA’ blasted Cerrone with a liver kick and a barrage of punches to finish the fight before it even got started, and a clearly disheartened Cerrone had his impressive eight fight win streak snapped.
Now lined up with a dangerous opponent in Oliveira, Cerrone must win big to remain in with a realistic chance at gaining a UFC title before retiring. One fighter that wasn’t very positive about ‘Cowboy’s’ last showing was his old rival and UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ accused Cerrone of being a quitter, and ‘Cowboy’ responded during a recent fan Q&A. Also check out how Cerrone responds to some trolls that had some harsh words for him:
Wow, it seems even the fans are taking the opportunity to kick the cowboy after the toughest loss in his career to date. Perhaps he was just caught cold against dos Anjos, or maybe it’s the old case of big fight chokes that Cerrone has admitted to suffering from in the past, either way his fans will hope to see an improved version of ‘Cowboy’ in the Octagon tonight, as he faces a tough test in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Do you think we’ll see Donald Cerrone in the welterweight title picture in the future?
