Cerrone ‘hurt’ by Dana White’s planned retirement talk, but admits he’s ‘getting old’

The last two years of Donald Cerrone’s career have been on a decline. After four straight losses from beginning in mid-2019, his last fight with Niko Price last September ended in a disappointing draw.

Next to Joe Lauzon, Nate Diaz, and Jim Miller, “Cowboy” is one of the UFC’s last remaining OGs. But given his recent skid, UFC president Dana White intended to have a conversation with him about possibly hanging it up.

“He fought back, he’s tough, he’s durable. I love Cowboy, and I know this is gonna f—ng crush him and break his heart, but it’s time to have a conversation with him,” White said in September.
