The fan favorite, who
announced his retirement following a second-round submission
loss to Jim Miller at
UFC 276 in July 2022, recently took to social media to announce his
plans for a comeback.
“I want to go back and get two more fights,” Cerrone said in a
video on Instagram. “When I retired, I told you I was getting my
hair done and get on steroids. The No. 50 [under the Zuffa banner]
has been sitting on my mind for a while. So, I’ve been working with
Transcend for the last two years, taking TRT and a bunch of
peptides. Now we got a protocol for all you people that, ‘Oh, what
if you get on it, you can’t ever come off.’ Well, I now have to
come off and piss clean, fight in a few months. So, watch
this.”
“Cowboy” has 48 combined fights while competing for
World Extreme Cagefighting and the UFC, a journey that began in
2007. The 41-year-old “Cowboy” is winless in his last seven UFC
appearances dating back to June 2019. His most recent victory was a
unanimous decision triumph against Al Iaquinta
in the UFC Fight Night 151 headliner on May 4, 2019.
Before calling it a career, Cerrone was one of the UFC’s most
popular athletes, renowned for his entertaining style and
willingness to maintain an active fight schedule. He enjoyed
success at both welterweight and lightweight, challenging for
155-pound gold in both the UFC and WEC. His record includes wins
over the likes of Charles
Oliveira, Jeremy
Stephens, Melvin
Guillard, Edson
Barboza, Miller, Eddie
Alvarez, Benson
Henderson, Patrick
Cote, Matt Brown,
and Mike
Perry. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2023.
