GLENDALE, Ariz. – Donald Cerrone may not be meeting his old pal Jamie Varner for a third time when the WEC rolls out its final event on Thursday night, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking about each other.
“I would love that fight again, and again, and in the parking lot, and wherever I can get it,” Cerrone said at Tuesday’s WEC 53 open workouts. “But it’ll come in due time. Hopefully he wins his next fight and I can see him in the UFC. I plan on whipping his a– every chance I get, so I don’t ever plan on letting him dictate one round or one second of any fight ever again.”
It’s a sentiment that’s likely shared by Varner, who recently described Cerrone as a “lonely, uneducated hillbilly” in an interview with MMA Fighting. But while Cerrone admitted he wasn’t aware of that latest salvo, even he seems to be on the verge of acknowledging that the time might have come for him to finally move on from that rivalry after winning a unanimous decision in their last meeting.
Some habits, however, die hard.
