Dana White can’t believe ‘the level of disrespect shown to Cowboy’ ahead of McGregor bout

It would be foolish to count out a wily veteran like Donald Cerrone ahead of UFC 246, but alas, many fans believe ‘Cowboy’ to be no more than a tune-up fight for Conor McGregor.

Cerrone may be on a two-fight losing streak, but Dana White wants to remind fans that the former UFC lightweight title challenger has come back from tougher losses in the past and should not be counted out against ‘The Notorious’.

Speaking to ESPN in a recent interview (h/t Express.co.uk), the UFC president said he is shocked by the level of disrespect shown to Cerrone since the McGregor bout was first announced last month.
