UFC Hall of Famer Donald Cerrone has unfinished business in the Octagon.
The fan favorite, who announced his retirement following a second-round submission loss to Jim Miller at UFC 276 in July 2022, recently took to social media to announce his plans for a comeback.
“I want to go back and get two more fights,” Cerrone said in a video on Instagram. “When I retired, I told you I was getting my hair done and get on steroids. The No. 50 [under the Zuffa banner] has been sitting on my mind for a while. So, I’ve been working with Transcend for the last two years, taking TRT and a bunch of peptides. Now we got a protocol for all you people that, ‘Oh, what if you get on it, you can’t ever come off.’ Well, I now have to come off and piss clean, fight in a few months. So, watch this.”
“Cowboy” has 48 combined fights while competing for World Extreme Cagefighting and the UFC, a journey that began in 2007. The 41-year-old “Cowboy” is winless in his last seven UFC appearances dating back to June 2019. His most recent victory was a unanimous decision triumph against Al Iaquinta in the UFC Fight Night 151 headliner on May 4, 2019.
Before calling it a career, Cerrone was one of the UFC’s most popular athletes, renowned for his entertaining style and willingness to maintain an active fight schedule. He enjoyed success at both welterweight and lightweight, challenging for 155-pound gold in both the UFC and WEC. His record includes wins over the likes of Charles Oliveira, Jeremy Stephens, Melvin Guillard, Edson Barboza, Miller, Eddie Alvarez, Benson Henderson, Patrick Cote, Matt Brown, and Mike Perry. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2023.
