Donald Anthony Cerrone (born March 29, 1983), known professionally by his nickname "Cowboy", is an American retired mixed martial artist, actor, and former professional kickboxer.[6] He competed in the Lightweight and Welterweight divisions of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and was known and respected by fans for his willingness to fight any time, having completed 38 fights in his 11 year UFC tenure. Cerrone was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in July 2023.

Background

Cerrone was born in Denver, Colorado and is of Irish and Italian descent.[7][8] At a young age, Cerrone was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder but never received treatment for it.[9] Growing up he was considered a troubled child. He would eventually start street fighting and would often end up in jail overnight. When Cerrone was about 16 his parents were fed up with his behavior and sent him off to go live with his paternal grandmother Jerry Cerrone. Donald claimed that Jerry took him in with open arms. She would sometimes bail Donald and his friends out of jail after they got into another fight and according to Cerrone himself that the next morning she would never bring up exactly what happened the night before, she would just repeat the phrase "you know what you did" and leave it at that.

Cerrone attended Air Academy High School, where he began professional bull riding.[10] At the age of 20, by advise of a friend, Cerrone began training in kickboxing and then later Muay Thai. After winning a few kickboxing competitions, Cerrone pursued a career in mixed martial arts (MMA).[11]

Mixed martial arts career

Cerrone began his career in Commerce City, Colorado at a gym called Freedom Fighters.[4] In 2006, Cerrone began training with Jon Jones, Rashad Evans, Nathan Marquardt, Keith Jardine, Georges St-Pierre, Leonard Garcia, Tom Watson and other skilled MMA fighters at Greg Jackson's Submission Fighting Gaidojutsu school in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[4]

World Extreme Cagefighting

Cerrone was signed to fight in the WEC. His first fight in the promotion was against Kenneth Alexander. Originally a win via submission in 56 seconds of the first round, the decision was changed to a no-contest when Cerrone tested positive hydrochlorothiazide, a banned diuretic.[12]

Cerrone in 2010

Cerrone was scheduled to face Rich Crunkilton at WEC 34, but Crunkilton was forced off the card with an injury and replaced by Danny Castillo.[13] Cerrone won the bout via armbar in the first round.[14]

Cerrone then faced Rob McCullough at WEC 36 on November 5, 2008.[15] He won the bout via unanimous decision.[16] The performance earned both fighters the Fight of the Night award.[17]

On January 25, 2009, at WEC 38 he fought WEC Lightweight Champion, Jamie Varner, losing via technical split decision.[18] The fight was highly competitive and won the Fight of the Night award.[19] However, the fight was stopped prematurely in the fifth round when Cerrone hit Varner's temple with an illegal knee while Varner was still on the ground. Varner was given time to recover, but he was unable to continue, noting that he had double vision and had sustained a broken hand.[20]

Cerrone was again scheduled to face Rich Crunkilton on June 7, 2009, at WEC 41, but Crunkilton was forced off the card with an injury and replaced by James Krause.[21] Cerrone defeated Krause via first round submission.[22]

Cerrone and Varner had agreed to a rematch, tentatively at WEC 43, but Varner was unable to receive medical clearance as a result from his hand injury. Cerrone fought Benson Henderson for the WEC Interim Lightweight Championship on October 10, 2009, at WEC 43 in San Antonio, Texas,[23] losing by unanimous decision.[24] Both fighters were awarded the Fight of the Night bonus award.[25] Cerrone credited Henderson for being "a hell of a fighter" and conceded that he was slow to start the action, which may have cost him the match.[26]

Cerrone faced Ed Ratcliff on December 19, 2009, in the event headliner at WEC 45.[27] Cerrone defeated Ratcliff via third round submission.[28] The bout also earned Cerrone Fight of the Night honors.[29]

Cerrone fought Benson Henderson in a rematch of their 2009 Fight of the Year, this time for the WEC Lightweight Championship on April 24, 2010, at WEC 48.[30] Cerrone lost via first-round guillotine choke submission.[31]

Cerrone faced rival Jamie Varner in their highly anticipated rematch on September 30, 2010, at WEC 51.[32] He won the fight via unanimous decision, winning all three rounds.[33] In between rounds, there were often many shoves and obscenities exchanged by both fighters, including a shove at the very end of the match. In the post-fight interview, Cerrone declared he'd be willing to do a rematch in Arizona, Varner's home state, to settle their score once and for all. The bout won Fight of the Night honors.[34]

Cerrone instead faced Chris Horodecki on December 16, 2010, at WEC 53.[35] He won via submission in the second round with a triangle choke.[36]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[37]

Cerrone faced Paul Kelly on February 5, 2011, at UFC 126, replacing an injured Sam Stout.[38] Cerrone defeated Kelly via tapout due to a rear naked choke. For their performance, both fighters earned Fight of the Night honors.[39]

Cerrone next faced Nate Diaz at UFC 141 on December 30, 2011.[50] He lost the back-and-forth fight via unanimous decision, in a performance that earned both participants Fight of the Night honors.[51] Despite knocking Diaz off of his feet multiple times with leg kicks, Cerrone could not offset the volume punches from Diaz, as Diaz landed 82% of the strikes he threw en route to his victory over Cerrone. On his loss to Diaz Cerrone stated, "You know instinct, I think that's the thing a lot of people aren't doing. That's where I made the mistake in my last fight, is, you need to learn to turn your brain off and just go by reactions. Don't go in there and try and think and do things and fight with your brain, because that's the thing, I got angry and tried to kill him, and when you try to go [too] hard you just can't do it."[52]

Cerrone was expected to face Yves Edwards on May 15, 2012, at UFC on Fuel TV: The Korean Zombie vs. Poirier.[53] However, Edwards was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by Jeremy Stephens.[54] Cerrone defeated Stephens by unanimous decision.[55]

Cerrone was briefly linked to a bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov on September 27, 2014, at UFC 178.[77] However, the pairing was quickly scrapped after it was revealed that Nurmagomedov had suffered a knee injury that would sideline him indefinitely.[78] Subsequently, Cerrone was matched with Bobby Green at the event.[79] In turn, Cerrone eventually faced former Bellator Lightweight Champion and UFC newcomer Eddie Alvarez in the co-main event of the card.[80] Cerrone won the fight via unanimous decision.[81]

Cerrone faced Myles Jury on January 3, 2015, at UFC 182.[82] Cerrone commented on his desire to fight him was due to his disdain over Jury's arrogant response after defeating Cerrone's former training partner, Diego Sanchez, in UFC 171.[83] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[84]

In an unprecedented move, Cerrone requested to face friend and WEC rival Benson Henderson just 15 days later at UFC Fight Night 59, replacing an injured Eddie Alvarez.[85] Cerrone won the fight via a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the fight 29–28.[86] 12 of 14 media outlets scored the bout in favor of Henderson.[87]

Cerrone was expected to face Khabib Nurmagomedov on May 23, 2015, at UFC 187.[88] However, Nurmagomedov pulled out of the bout on April 30 due to a knee injury. He was replaced by John Makdessi.[89] Cerrone won the fight via TKO in the second round.[90]

Cerrone was briefly linked to a bout with Robbie Lawler on November 12, 2016, at UFC 205.[104] However, Lawler turned down the fight and Cerrone was then scheduled to face Kelvin Gastelum on the card.[105] However, on the day of the weigh-ins, Gastelum did not make an attempt to formally weigh in as he was well over the 171 lbs limit for the fight and the bout was scrapped.[106] Consequently, Cerrone was quickly rescheduled and faced Matt Brown the following month at UFC 206.[107] Cerrone won the fight via knockout in the third round.[108]

Cerrone was expected to face Robbie Lawler on July 8, 2017, at UFC 213.[111] On June 28, reports began to circulate that Cerrone had sustained a minor injury which would force the fight to be postponed to UFC 214 taking place three weeks later.[112] UFC President Dana White confirmed later the same day that Cerrone in fact had a staph infection and a pulled groin, and the plan is to reschedule the pairing to after UFC 214.[113] However, the bout eventually took place at UFC 214.[114] Cerrone lost the back-and-forth fight by a very close unanimous decision that many feel that Cerrone should have indeed won.[115]

In the beginning of August 2018, it was revealed that he had parted ways with his long-time striking coach Brandon Gibson after the loss against Edwards.[123] Appearing on Joe Rogan Experience on August 29, 2018, Cerrone launched on a tirade against his training camp Jackson-Wink and announced that he had parted ways with the team altogether.[124]

Cerrone faced Mike Perry on November 10, 2018, at UFC Fight Night 139.[125] He won the fight by submission due to an armbar in the first round, becoming the first fighter to finish Perry in MMA.[126] His fight earned him the Performance of the Night award.[127] With this win, Cerrone set the UFC records for most finishes in the promotion with fifteen and most wins in the promotion with twenty one (21).[128]

In a quick turnaround, Cerrone returned to the Octagon just 32 days after his last win and faced Tony Ferguson on June 8, 2019, at UFC 238.[135] Cerrone lost the fight via technical knockout in between the second and third rounds after an attempt to blow his nose caused his eye to swell shut, rendering him unable to continue.[136] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.[137]

Cerrone, as a replacement for Bobby Green, faced Jim Miller on July 2, 2022, at UFC 276.[156] He lost the fight via guillotine choke submission in the second round[157] and subsequently announced his retirement during the post-fight interview.[158]

Professional grappling career

He acted in a starring role, opposite Gina Carano, in the 2022 Daily Wire film Terror on the Prairie.[165]

Personal life

Cerrone and his wife Lindsay have three sons: Dacson Danger Cerrone, born June 29, 2018,[166] Riot River Cerrone, born September 11, 2020,[167] and a third was born in early January 2023.[168]

Cerrone is good friends with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney, who has trained at BMF Ranch, and Cerrone made an appearance alongside Paul Felder, Megan Olivi and Dana White in the season 12 episode "Wolf Cola: A Public Relations Nightmare."[169][170]

BMF Ranch

In 2014, Cerrone established an MMA gym at his property in Edgewood, New Mexico to lower his training camp costs by hosting his training partners at the estate. Coaches like Brandon Gibson, Jafari Vanier, and Jonavin Webb are usually situated at the ranch with fighters like Lando Vannata, John Dodson and Leonard Garcia.[171]

Controversies

Racism accusations

In 2014, the UFC lightweight fighter Bobby Green accused Cerrone of making racist comments towards him and about black people, in a since deleted interview with journalist Ariel Helwani.[172][173][174] Cerrone dismissed his claims, maintaining that if he were racist, he wouldn't "have three black guys living with [him]".[175]

Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling came forward with similar allegations in 2016, detailing an altercation between him and Cerrone during UFC International Fight Week. According to Sterling, after Cerrone made a comment about his gold chain that made him feel "uncomfortable", he then used an "inappropriate word" in front of Sterling. While Sterling never specified what the word was, he strongly implied it had racial overtones. When he asked for an explanation, Cerrone allegedly started to threaten him, telling him that he'd "beat the fuck out of him" and "do what Caraway did to him", referring to Sterling's UFC bout earlier that year in which he suffered his first professional loss to Bryan Caraway.[176]

Cerrone has been criticized for his casual online usage of the racial slur "nigga", including in a 2016 exchange on Instagram with his sparring partner Said Nurmagomedov, in which each one referred to the other as "my nigga".[177][178][179]

Allegations of sexual harassment

In an interview with Ariel Helwani, the UFC fighter Bobby Green accused Cerrone of sexually harassing his female fans at UFC Fan Expo signing in 2014 . According to Green, he groped and behaved inappropriately towards the women that came to take a photo with him.[172][173][174]

"He's groping these women. They've got husbands, they've got fiancees, they've got boyfriends, I'm like, that's messed up man, just because this guy's a nerd and he can't do anything to you, you're going to do this to him. Girlfriend's cute, Donald Cerrone, picks her up, grabs her ass, starts grabbing on there and stuff and he's like 'I'm Donald Cerrone.' I'm like, 'you're going to piss somebody off, you get the wrong person they're going to get pissed.' He's like, 'what are they going to do to me, I'll knock them out.' "

— Bobby Green

In an interview with Sherdog, Cerrone denied these accusations. "That was two years ago, ya' know? Why didn't any of this come out? Why didn't a fan file a lawsuit or say, 'Yo, Cowboy is groping my wife,' c'mon." he said of the alleged incidents.[175]

Homophobic and transphobic comments

As part of his trash talk to describe Jamie Varner in a build up of their second fight at WEC 51 in 2010, Cerrone commented that Varner is "a fag" and that he hoped to kill him in the ring. After WEC officials publicly condemned his remarks, he apologized for the death threats on Twitter, but did not mention the slur usage in his apology.[180][181][182]

Cerrone was widely criticized for his use of a homophobic slur to describe Daniel Cormier's performance against Anderson Silva at UFC 200 during a Q&A at UFC Fan Expo, where he was taking part in a panel covering the event along with CM Punk and Joe Gooden. When talking with CM Punk about the worst performances of that night, he criticized Cormier's wrestling-heavy game plan asking "How you going to give up weight and fight like a fag, man?".[183][184]

After an immediate backlash, a UFC senior official told the MMA Junkie portal that the organization was "incredibly disappointed by Cerrone's comments" and will be meeting with him to discuss the severity of the situation. Cerrone reacted to the criticism with a since-deleted Instagram post, which showed a photo of him wearing a then-recently released UFC rainbow T-shirt in support of the LGBTQ community and in which he apologized for his choice of words.[185]

While Jason Ellis was interviewing Cerrone on his radio show, he mentioned that he is bisexual and has had sexual relationships with men, which appeared to make Cerrone uncomfortable. During his appearance on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast some weeks later, Cerrone called Ellis "a faggot", adding that he had not wanted to say it to Ellis directly. Ellis voiced his disappointment with Cerrone's statements in an interview with outsports.com.[186][187]

When discussing U.S. president Donald Trump's attempts to ban transgender people from serving in the US armed forces on an episode of The Fighter and the Kid podcast, Cerrone objected to the host, Brendan Schaub, using female pronouns to describe a trans woman, and stated: "I'm just saying, if you got a dick, you're a dude."[188]

Hoelzer Reich sponsorship

Until 2009, Cerrone was one of a number of MMA fighters sponsored by Hoelzer Reich, a t-shirt company that includes symbols such as the Iron Cross on its t-shirts, which detractors have stated is Nazi imagery. The brand was banned by the UFC in 2009.[189][190][191]
