Follow Us
With both fighters on the brink of retirement, Chael Sonnen has an idea for Donald Cerrone and Diego Sanchez. The duo has now been a part of the UFC roster for as long as one can remember. ‘Cowboy’ debuted back in 2006 while Sanchez walked into the octagon back in 2002. These men have been at it for over almost two decades.
The president of the promotion, Dana White, spoke about the ‘not so fun’ part of his job. The part where he has to sit his fighters down and have the retirement talk with them. Especially when it comes to fighters that have been as loyal as these two!
As both Cerrone and Sanchez have a few fights remaining, Chael Sonnen took to Twitter to suggest a farewell of sorts for the fighters. He opined that Donald Cerrone takes on Diego Sanchez in a fight where the loser and the winner retire by the end of the night!

Individually these two fighters have had insane careers in the sport. Cerrone holds the record for the most post-fight awards with 16. He overtook both Nate Diaz and Joe Lauzon to secure this record. He also has under his name the record of the most win in the promotion totaling at 23, standing over the like of Demian Maia and Jim Miller, who are second and third, respectively.
Both fighters are well and truly on their way to the UFC Hall of Fame with the performances they’ve put up. But their recent condition in the octagon proves otherwise. The decline is clear and age is a factor too.
