“I’m chasing greatness. 50 UFC fights. Not only do I want a win, I want a finish. I want a bonus. Most wins in UFC history. Most finishes. Most bonuses. Most walks to that cage.” — Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone

Donald Cerrone is coming back to UFC.

The lightweight legend plans to pause his retirement and score a couple of more fights inside the Octagon. As it stands, “Cowboy” is within striking distance of multiple UFC records including total fights, most wins, and most finishes.

Cerrone was inducted into the UFC hall of fame in July 2023.

“I want to go back and get two more fights,” Cerrone said in a recent Instagram video. “When I retired, I told you I was getting my hair done and get on steroids. The number 50 has been sitting on my mind for awhile. So, I’ve been working with Transcend for the last two years, taking TRT and a bunch of peptides. Now we got a protocol for all you people that said, ‘Oh, what if you get on it, you can’t ever come off.’ Well, I now have to come off and piss clean, fight in a few months. So, watch this.”

Fortunately, he wasn’t roiding up “behind the corner gas station.”

Cerrone stands at 36-17 with two no contests. It’s worth mentioning that “Cowboy” has gone seven straight fights without a victory and hasn’t seen the win column since outpointing Al Iaquinta at UFC Ottawa back in early 2019.

Just remember, you only get the mic once after calling it a career.
