He retired in July 2022 in the midst of a six-fight skid, but has now stated he intends to come back for two more bouts. He will presumably need to reenter the UFC&#8217;s anti-drug program for a mandatory amount of time, although the UFC can waive that condition in special circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to go back and get two more fights,&#8221; said Cerrone, in a video posted to Instagram. &#8220;When I retired, I told you I was getting my hair done and [I&#8217;d] get on steroids. The No. 50 [Zuffa] has been sitting on my mind for a while. So, I&#8217;ve been working with Transcend for the last two years, taking [testosterone-replacement therapy] and a bunch of peptides.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Picks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a name=\"&amp;lpos=story:editorspicks:inline:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mma\/story\/_\/id\/41776794\/pfl-super-fights-battle-giants-ranking-fights-francis-ngannou-renan-ferriera\" class=\"img-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=\/photo\/2024\/1013\/r1400103_1296x1296_1-1.jpg&amp;w=130&amp;h=130&amp;scale=crop&amp;location=center\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\"\/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;Now, we&#8217;ve got a protocol for all you people that, &#8216;Oh, what if you get on it, you can&#8217;t ever come off it.&#8217; Well, I now have to come off and piss clean, and fight in a few months. Watch this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fighting out of his home gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Cerrone is one of the most popular fighters in UFC history. He is tied for second all-time in wins (23) and third in total appearances (38). Jim Miller, who is 1-1 against Cerrone in fights from 2014 and 2022, holds the record in each category with 26 wins and 44 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Cerrone mentioned 50 bouts specifically, but perhaps that is not the extent of his goals, as he also posted on Instagram, &#8220;most wins in UFC history, most finishes, most bonuses, most walks to that cage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cerrone fought for the UFC lightweight championship once in 2015, coming up short against Rafael dos Anjos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mma\/story\/_\/id\/41811717\/donald-cowboy-cerrone-unretiring-get-50-fights\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brett Okamoto, ESPN Staff WriterOct 15, 2024, 12:36 PM ET Close MMA columnist for ESPN.com Analyst for &#8220;MMA Live&#8221; Covered MMA for Las Vegas Sun Donald &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Cerrone is coming &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=114592\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=114592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114592\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=114592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=114592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=114592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
