Just two months ago, Donald Cerrone stood in the center of the Octagon with his trademark Cowboy hat on his head, his son Dacson in his arms and a wide smile plastered on his face as the crowd at Pepsi Center showered him with applause.
Although he’s based just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Cerrone was raised in Denver, Colorado and that evening was not only the UFC’s 25th Anniversary celebration, but it was also the return of one of the city’s favorite fighting sons and he delivered a vintage “Cowboy” performance while establishing a new record for the most wins in UFC history.
