Media Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone back in testing pool, may make return to MMA at 185

[GearSolidMetal]

Not a fan of this whatsoever.

He ended his career on his last 7 fights he didn't have a win.
His last win was March of 2019.
He's 41.5 years old, with 2.5 years of ringrust.
He's never fought at middleweight, where he'll be massively undersized against most of that division.

Feels like he's doing this just to fill up his bank account.
Very disappointed he never got into coaching. Always thought he'd be damn good at it.

He got all the experience in the world, but he was never a smart guy and has add.
His thai boxing was good from the beginning, but never developed much, his wrestling got a lot better over the years though. Typical Jacksonwink.
Didn't watch tape his entire career. He trained a lot of guys.

Sure he can be a solid coach, just not a world class one or anywhere close.

I've always liked Cerrone and in the mid 2010's he was in the top 3 best fighters at 155 but his time to be at the top has sailed. He hasn't looked good since psyching out to Conor and he'll definitely be catching more L's at 185. He needs to stay retired.

Hespect earned with Donald's damn good career.​

His Conor fight, IMHO, was ended as the result of a precisely placed liver shot. Reminded me (painfully) of the perfect shot Conor threw that took out a better fighter, one of the best champs ever, Jose Aldo.

Stay safe Cowboy, and please don't come back to fighting !

Recipe for disaster.

Guys like GSP know when time has come to ride into the sunset... and some don't

 

[Tapatio]

I hope he gets knocked out

 

[Portland8242]

Cowboy definitely beats DDP via club and sub

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

I could honestly crack his chin.

Guy has no reflexes or explosion anymore.

I guess have him fight Ferguson.

 

[mmasask]

no thanks

 

[HHJ]

eh, i say bring him back. He'll probably be brutally knocked out but hey, it will be entertaining at least.

Waste of space, in my opinion.

 

[TITS]

185 huh?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

185 huh?

Sounds like a perfect showcase fight for MVP or maybe Dolidze

No coach starts off as a 'world class coach.'
They start off like any coach does, and as their fighters do better and better they attract more fighters to their training facilities.
When their fighters fight world-class fighters the common opinion will be the coach is world-class.

So, saying Cerronne 'can be' just a 'solid' coach, but never a 'world class' coach or anywhere close, is extremely inaccurate.

 

[Harlekin]

Reflexes weren't there at 39, won't be there at 41.
If he fights anybody close to good, he gets hurt.

 

[Daniel Henry]

Fuck it book him vs Weidman. Looser has to retire

 

[Nihongi]

Fuck it, either Brad Tavares or Bruno Silva to welcome him to 185

[Ian]

If Cerrone actually fights again after juicing for years I hope he gets brutally KOd.

 

[Steve Fox]

These guys always feel great after a few cycles and rest. Then when they step into the Octagon reality hits.

 

[FriskyRandy]

I doubt there's anyone above 145 pounds be could beat on the roster.

 

[sonhow]

Theres always GFL where everyone is from 40 to 50.
