‘Cowboy’ Cerrone Gunning For UFC Lightweight Title

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone seems to be gunning for a UFC lightweight title opportunity after his submission victory over Mike Perry at UFC Denver.

Donald Cerrone has declared his intentions to drop back down to lightweight.

“Cowboy” picked up a big win over Mike Perry this past Saturday (November 10, 2018). He submitted “Platinum” in the first round of their UFC Denver co-main event. After the fight, Cerrone spoke to reporters about his next planned contest.

He doubled down on his intentions to return to lightweight, and wants to challenge for the 155-pound title once again (via Bloody Elbow):

“I don’t know if we can be anymore clear about it, can we? 155, I think the New Year Eve’s card will be cool, I’ll fight on Fight Pass I don’t give a sh-t, I’ll be the first fight of the night. But yeah let’s make a run, let’s train hard and be focused, let’s go get a motherf—king belt.

“I’m 182 pounds right now, that’s what I walked in at for fight week, this is heavy for me. When I’m at 155 pounds I’m usually around 176 pounds. I’m gonna have to hire a dietitian because that last five pounds sucks. Who I want [to fight]? Don’t care, but there is somebody they already came up and told me, it’s very exciting.”

Cerrone has challenged for a lightweight title in the UFC before. After racking up an eight-fight win streak, he fought then-lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos for the strap. Interestingly enough at that point, the last man to have defeated “Cowboy” was, in fact, “RDA.”

Dos Anjos defeated Cerrone in just over a minute via TKO. Now “Cowboy” will once again attempt to get back to title contention at 155 pounds.

Mike Perry Breaks Silence On UFC Denver Loss

Mike Perry has opened up on this devastating loss.

The post Mike Perry Breaks Silence On UFC Denver Loss appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Mike Perry breaks his silence on losing to former training partner Donald Cerrone this past weekend. In the fight, which served as the co-main event of UFC Denver at Pepsi Center, Cerrone submitted Perry via armbar at 4:46 of the first round.

Before this fight, Perry scored the first decision win of his career when he beat Paul Felder at UFC 226. That win also snapped back-to-back decision losses to Max Griffin and Santiago Ponzinibbio. Now, however, he’s back to the drawing board and looking forward to what’s next in line for him.

At the time of the finish, Cerrone was on the bottom and transitioned to an armbar, going belly down. Perry had no choice but to tap as a result. Perry took to his official Instagram account after the fight to issue a statement on the loss:

“Drillers make killers. We fine tuned so many things in my fight game. We did not work or drill offensive ground control and strikes from top. If I drill and flow my jiu jitsu offensive top game the way I worked on my kickboxing flow I’ll be ripping limbs off and landing effective G&P my next match.”

Perry continued by stating that Cerrone broke his arm in order to “break all the records.’

“Off to get my black belt ????? congrats to @cowboycerrone for breaking an arm to break all the records last night. Stepping stone for me. I learned a lot and am more dangerous from it already.”
