That tattoo on Brock's chest is actually a sword, not a ****.

at 4:40 he starts talking about the ranch. Its hard to tell but it sounds like he chose it and his grandfather came out with the cash and paid for it. Im not clear if its cowboys cash and his grandpa managed it at the time or if his grandfather bought it with his own money. I initially thought he managed cowboys money and so cowboy actually paid for it.
Well it's Cowboy's money in the sense they gave it to him and now its his. But he didn't actually do anything to earn it himself.
He's basically a rich kid who liked to screw around and get in trouble and his wealthy family was his safety net. Now he channels that aggression into mma.
People born into the cowboy culture/occupation have no choice in their way of life, this isn't anything special, its called survival. In a way Cerrone is the purest version of a cowboy because he elected to become one on his own. He has all the responsibilities of a real cowboy with none of the financial benefit, plus he is a professional fighter. He juggles two of the hardest occupations in the modern world and is successful at both, that's very respectable.
it's 2015 not 1885 --- nobody is a real cowboy
Rashad isn't made out of sugar.
Anderson isn't a spider.
Liddell isn't an x-men.
You can't hate him for it, though, I would have done the same if I had inherited a ranch full of money.
I dont hate him for that. I love watching him fight. Have no problem with rich people spending their money. At the same time he's not someone to look up to as a person.

Because you don't just one day decide you are going to "become a cowboy" at the age of 27 or so. You don't have have someone buy you some land and some cows and then you become a "real cowboy." You either grow up into the lifestyle or culture as a child or raise cattle for a living - that is the definition of a "real cowboy"
Don't know him personally, so we could be way off base to throw out a blanket statement like that. I'll partially agree with you, as I feel where you're coming from.
