Paul Felder mentioned putting a funny comment on one of Donald Cerrone’s social media posts after he showed his transformation. Felder said, “I commented on his [Cerrone] thing and I was like, ‘do you even lift, dude? Like, what are you doing?” He added, “He comments at all my sh*t and he’s like, ‘Nope, that’s where we’re different. I ain’t  doing any of that sh*t.”

However, Joe Rogan didn’t seem to understand Felder’s joke. “He’s definitely lifting. He’s gigantic now,” said the 55-year-old commentator-podcaster.

Many people believed that Cerrone’s drastic transformation might be the result of steroid use. Moreover, ‘Cowboy’ came clean about his workout process and claimed to have been using substances that enhanced his performance during workout sessions. However, Donald Cerrone has never tested positive for PEDs during his entire UFC career. He only failed a test once. But it was not due to the use of any banned substance. It was because of Cerrone’s busy schedule; he was not available to receive an unannounced visit from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in 2015.
