Why Is Donald Cerrone on Such a Sharp Decline?

The same reason just about every athlete experiences a sharp decline when they reach their mid 30s.
 
I don’t think he declined that much.

He’s always been a decent competitor who couldn’t quite reach the top.

Mileage, he’s been in the fight game a long time. He’s still a badass but his time at WW is done, back to LW to kick some ass hopefully.

So many fans on this site do not understand the concept of fight age. That your physical age is not the only relevant factor and that if you have fought as much as Cerrone and Fedor and others when younger that will take it out of you.
 
The problem isn't how much he aged or declined, but how much he is fighting and against who.

The welterweight division is a shark tank and Cerrone is fighting in main events against killers.
 
Really people are turning on cerrone now??..

Hes faced some of toughest guys at welterweight recently thats part of the reason Hes in a slump and hes a wild man..guy fights injuried or sick and agiasnt anyone..hes literally the guy who signs and steps up when others dont or wont..anywhere anytime should be on his tombstone when he dies becuase thats the type of fighter he is through and through..

I hope he can gets a title at some point in his career either at lw or ww...would be awesome feather in his cap career wise
 
age 30 is the peak for most fighters
a mid 30s decline is almost guaranteed
 
Lifestyle, mileage and age (yes 35 is on the older end for a pro athlete/fighter). The fact that he refuses to study any of his opponents probably doesn’t help either.
 
Been fighting for so long and so much too. Doesn't take much breaks in between. Takes a toll on you in the long run. Plus, most top guys knows how to beat his style of fighting and his weaknesses.
 
USADA obviously. he is one of the fighters that are always MIA when testings are randomly arranged, and apparently you get three strikes before they penalize you. also, he comes from the same camp as jon jones and holly holmes and if you think they're free from steroids you are out of your mind. the whole camp is suspect of enabling steroid use.
 
He was always overrated. Top 5-10 guy. Never a true contender.

His best win is Eddie Alvarez.
 
Old battered weathered fighter, stuck in the mud YEE HAAA.
 
He doesn't take care of his body and probably takes fights while injured too.
 
Age sneaks up on you, younger up and coming fighters evolve and get better, and as soon as you are on the downhill side of your career it is easy to not take your training and career as serious which compounds everything. Maintaining the level of dedication needed is just not possible eventually.

Happens to them all.

Get the fuck out of here with that stupid bullshit. He was out of town one time on his way to Vegas when they showed up. Donald sucks against southpaws, but that is all he has been fighting. Plus, the young WW division outweighs him by 30lbs. He popped for a diuretic 10 years ago. BFD
 
Age, mileage on his body, and evolution of the sport.

Also, duh.
