Could this be the last fight for both Donald Cerrone and Diego Sanchez?

Both men are towards the tail end of their careers. Therefore, results of late have not been going in their favor. The UFC President has stated on multiple occasions that he would like to see both ‘Cowboy’ and ‘The Nightmare’ retire.

The fight against Cerrone will most certainly be Sanchez’s last fight in the UFC. However, given Donald’s recent record, it might not come as a surprise if Dana refuses to allow him to fight anymore.

In his last five fights, Cerrone has lost four. His most recent fight was a no-contest against Niko Price. Of the four losses, three were stoppages. Therefore, despite him stating that he is not done fighting, there is reason to believe that this might be as good a time as any for ‘Cowboy’ to hang up his boots.

Sanchez, on the other hand, has had much better results. He is 3-2 in his last five fights. ‘The Nightmare’ has had an incredible career in the UFC and has produced some unforgettable moments. His UFC record since his debut is 19 wins and 13 losses.

Despite the result on May 8th, there is a very strong possibility that this is the last time MMA fans would see both ‘Cowboy’ and ‘The Nightmare’ for the last time in a UFC octagon. What do you make of this booking?
