Donald Cerrone is known as an athlete who fights off emotion. Ever since the birth of his first son, Danger Cerrone, “Cowboy” saw a massive spike in statement performances inside the cage.

The 36-15 fighter began his UFC career back in February 2011 and has been a staple on many fight cards. He entered the promotion off the back of a successful run in the WEC in late 2007. His profile grew as he snagged some meaningful names on his record, including Conor McGregor.

Additionally, he holds wins over Edson Barboza and former champions in Benson Henderson and Eddie Alvarez. However, he is currently on a four-fight losing streak. All of them came at the hands of former champions in the company. His last victory came against Al Iaquinta back in May 2019, and he will be keen to re-enter the win column.
