Donald Cerrone urged to reconsider UFC return fight by Dana White: ‘I hate it’

Former lightweight title challenger, Donald Cerrone has been urged to think twice about making a planned return to mixed martial arts by UFC CEO, Dana White, who claimed he hates the idea of the Hall of Fame star fighting again in the future.

Cerrone, an inductee into the Modern Wing of the promotion’s Hall of Fame last year, is without a win since 2019, most recently succumbing to a second round guillotine choke in a rematch fight with fellow veteran, Jim Miller two years ago.

And in his most recent win, Colorado striker, Cerrone turned in a unanimous decision win over Al Iaquinta in the main event of UFC Fight Night Ottawa five years ago, as part of a three-fight winning run over both Alexander Hernandez, after a submission of Mike Perry.
