Donald Cerrone Parts Ways With Striking Coach Brandon Gibson

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title contender Donald Cerrone has parted ways with his striking coach, Brandon Gibson, in an effort to change things up going forward in his career.

"Cowboy" originally teamed up with the highly-regarded Gibson in 2016, around the time he moved up to the welterweight division. The move paid dividends early on as “Cowboy” won his first four fights at welterweight, earning “Performance of the Night” bonuses in three of them. However, since his win against Matt Brown in December 2016, he has gone 1-4 with his most recent fight a unanimous decision loss against Leon Edwards in June.
