Donald Cerrone has been repeatedly questioned on his current condition, considering he has lost both of his last fights under two rounds. Cerrone lost against Tony Ferguson and suffered a first-round KO against Justin Gaethje. So, when the news came out that Donald Cerrone will square off against Conor McGregor in his octagon return, it didn’t go too well with other fighters in UFC.

There are only a few fighters in UFC, who can pull the crowd despite being in UFC for so long. These fighters have created fans from generations apart, and have become synonymous with fighting. Donald Cerrone has transitioned into of those UFC fighters, who have a fan following despite the outcome of the match. They tune in to watch their favorite fighters, and that results in PPV headliners without a title belt on the line. It doesn’t happen often, and probably fighters like Brock Lesnar, Nate Diaz, and Conor McGregor have pulled it off. However, Donald Cerrone, despite delivering some of the greatest matches in UFC, and highest post-fight bonuses, has been unable to find that footing.

The biggest test for Donald Cerrone

If Donald Cerrone can go past Conor McGregor tonight, he will establish himself as the next top guy in UFC. Someone who doesn’t have to be in a title fight to let people know that they are in for a fighting delight. In the event where Donald Cerrone can defeat Conor McGregor, he will have a lot of interesting matches lined up for him. A fight with Nate Diaz or fellow kickboxer Stephen Thompson will certainly get the crowd moving. Donald Cerrone is a stylish fighter, known for his adventurous life. If he is victorious tonight, he is bound to become a global superstar. Cerrone has come a very long way in his MMA career, having fought the likes of Rafael Dos Anjos, Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Robbie Lawler, Darren Till, Benson Henderson, Edson Barboza, Eddie Alvarez, Anthony Pettis, and KJ Noons. Cerrone will compete in his 51st MMA fight at UFC 246.

“Yes, they always say, Cowboy can’t do big fights. This is the big one, so let’s see. All those guys who have beaten me have gone on to be champions and title contenders. So it’s not like I got my ass kicked by nobody. Those who have beaten me are good. I have been in this sport for a long time, I deserve the respect I am getting. It’s cool to finally see Conor give it to me. Saturday night man, I plan to do everything right. What Cowboy shows, who the hell knows that but hope the baddest motherf*** shows up, that’s what I am hoping to man.”
