So, much in the fashion of the current UFC and MMA landscape, talking seems to be the best way to bring in the dollars. While many want to denounce Conor McGregor for his tactics, the reality is that he’s been able to get paid a considerable amount of money based on his fighting skills as well as his equally impressive skills on the microphone. As such, more and more fighters are speaking out letting the masses know exactly what’s on their minds. Now granted these fighters have always remained true to themselves, but racking up a pile of cash like McGregor isn’t easy and it requires fighters to turn themselves into a brand.
Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone was always a fighter who spoke his mind, unafraid of the backlash he’d receive from fighters because, well, if they had a problem they can actually solve it with their fists. To say Cowboy hasn’t spoken his mind before Conor McGregor entered the scene would be a grossly idiotic and uninformed stance to take. But never before has Cowboy singled his opponents unless he signed a bout agreement. As time passes and his star has grown, Cowboy has become a man who tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to let everyone know exactly what he’s thinking.
In a recent interview on the radio show Jim Norton & Friends, Cowboy went in depth about how he feels about a number of fighters in the game, namely Khabib Nurmagomedov and one Conor McGregor. According to Cowboy Cerrone, these two men have been running scared and have no intentions of meeting him in the cage. Take a listen.
How do you think Cowboy would do in a fight against Khabib or Conor?
