Coach: ‘Fired up’ Donald Cerrone is ‘ready to open up a can of whoop-ass’ on Anthony Pettis

Coronavirus isn’t going to stop Donald Cerrone from getting back to work and doing what he does best: kick ass.

That’s why ‘Cowboy’ didn’t hesitate to accept the call to fight Anthony Pettis at UFC 249, which has been rescheduled to take place on May 9 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida after multiple delays and pushbacks due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Cerrone’s coach, John Wood, said the UFC veteran is always game to fight and that he looks forward to avenging his 2013 KO loss to Pettis and opening up a can of ‘whoop-ass’ on May 9.
