Jamie Varner is over Donald Cerrone.
Kinda. Sorta. OK, not really.
The former WEC lightweight champ has been defined the last two years by his feud with “Cowboy.” And even though Varner is 10 weeks removed from his last fight with his nemesis, a unanimous decision loss at WEC 51, and even though it could be years before the world sees a rubber match between the two, and even though Shane Roller is waiting on Thursday night, Cerrone never seems to be far from his mind.
“He’s just the most disrespectful person that I’ve ever met,” Varner told MMA Fighting last week. “He shows no class in the ring, he shows no class out of the ring. I mean, he got into a fight at some amateur show with a guy – over a girl. The guy has no class. Whether I win or I lose my fights, at least I can hold my head up high. I’ve got dignity and integrity, and that guy has nothing. He’s just a lonely, uneducated hillbilly that will go nowhere in his life after fighting.”
