‘Does a bunch of steroids and comes back’: Pros react to Donald Cerrone teasing UFC return

Donald Cerrone says he’s returning to the octagon to get to 50 fights under the UFC promotional umbrella.

“Cowboy” said in an Instagram post that he wants two more UFC fights to hit that nice round number after retiring following his sixth straight loss at UFC 276. In the bout, Cerrone was submitted by Jim Miller on the July 2022 International Fight Week card.

Cerrone is winless in the octagon since a May 2019 win over Al Iaquinta in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 9, which at the time, extended a winning streak to three fights. Since then, he was stopped by the likes of Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, Conor McGregor, Alex Morono, and dropped a decision to Anthony Pettis.

The 41-year-old fought for the UFC lightweight title in December 2015 where he was stopped in 66 seconds by Rafael dos Anjos.

Here’s how pro fighters reacted to the Cerrone news.
