UFC welterweight Mike Perry will have a fight on his hands this November.

Perry will go one-on-one with Cerrone in the main event of UFC Fight Night 139 from the Pepsi Center on November 10th. Cerrone, of course, goes by the nickname, “Cowboy,” which has apparently made Perry assume he’s the enemy of the Native American community.

“Platinum” recently took to Twitter to post an odd video in tribute to Native Americans. He dressed in Native American attire and came out of a smokey Octagon. Perry then vowed to tirelessly hunt down Cerrone “for his crimes of defamation.”

He even had a wanted poster with Cerrone on it and threw a tomahawk and shot an arrow at it.

Check it out here:

“I support the legendary Native American warriors and I am tirelessly hunting this @cowboycerrone for his crimes of defamation ! I will catch him across state lines in Denver Colorado, November 10th for alll the people of the world to see the battle between ” vs “

The issues between Perry and Cerrone are anything but comical. Cerrone decided to leave his longtime Jackson-Wink camp upon Perry’s arrival to the team.

Perry was allegedly given preferential treatment, not to mention Cerrone has his own issues with Mike Winkeljohn. Their clash inside the Octagon will certainly be an interesting, and perhaps even an emotional affair.

As for Perry’s ‘tribute’ to the Native Americans, well, that was just strange.

Prominent JacksonWink fighter Michelle Waterson isn’t going to pick sides in the Donald Cerrone Mike-Winkeljohn beef.

JacksonWink MMA, one of the most respected gyms in the sport, came under fire last month when “Cowboy” Cerrone criticized longtime striking coach Winkeljohn on the Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show podcast.

Many former training partners of Cerrone, including Diego Sanchez, fired back at “Cowboy”. Stating that Cerrone isn’t considered a teammate any longer. Others like Waterson had a more neutral position:

“All I can say is that’s family, you know?” Waterson said Monday at a media day promoting her upcoming UFC 229 main-card bout against Felice Herrig. “Families get into fights sometimes and unfortunately this fight got aired out a little bit to the public.”

“I love and respect both Donald and Coach Wink immensely,” Waterson said. “I wouldn’t have been at Jackson’s without Donald, he’s the one who introduced me to Coach Jackson and Coach Wink and I wouldn’t be here if not for Coach Wink. I’ve been with him for almost over a decade, he’s a father figure to me. Both of them are very headstrong, and they are very like-minded, and I’m sure that they will figure out their issues.”

Change For The Better?

Waterson is obviously in a difficult position. However, she appears to be handling the added chaos quite well.

As for Cerrone, he has been training at his ranch just outside the Albuquerque city limits in preparation for his fight with Mike Perry.

Waterson will admit there has been change at JacksonWink MMA. But the “The Karate Hottie” believes it’s all for the better.

“Evolution is inevitable, change is inevitable, if there is no change, you don’t grow,” Waterson said. “So yes, I do think it has changed. But I don’t think it has changed for the worse, I think it has changed for the good. We have new blood and we have great camaraderie and it’s still a family to me. I go there when I’m feeling down and when I need to get away from all the outside noise, the gym is my home. It’s my sanctuary.”

Cerrone will take on Perry in the co-main event of November’s UFC Denver. Whether or not he repairs his damaged relationship with JacksonWink MMA remains to be seen.

Classic ‘Cowboy’

One could just write Cerrone’s latest injury off as typical “Cowboy,” as he’s teased an injury online before. But complicating matters is his upcoming fight against Mike Perry at UFC Fight Night 139 on Nov. 10, 2018, in Denver, Colorado. Not only is Cerrone scheduled to fight on that historic UFC 25th anniversary show, but he’s in the co-main event.

Cerrone didn’t go into details about how he injured his arm, however, he did assure fans that he would be ready to go come November in front of his hometown crowd.

Although “Cowboy” didn’t shed light on the cause of his injury it can be safely assumed that this could be the latest in a long line of extreme sports mishaps for the UFC vet. Earlier this month Cerrone told a horrific tale on the Joe Rogan MMA podcast. He detailed how he nearly drowned in a scuba diving accident.

UFC Fight Night 139 is headlined by Frankie Edgar vs.Chan Sung Jung. Jung will be making his long-awaited return to the Octagon as he takes on perennial contender Edgar.

Heres how the rest of UFC Fight Night 139 looks:
