Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is down but he’s far from out.
On Saturday night, Cerrone suffered his second straight defeat after falling to Justin Gaethje in a first round TKO following a barrage of right hands that put him face first down on the canvas.
It was obviously not the result he wanted but despite the setback, Cerrone isn’t ready to give up his dream to one day become the UFC lightweight champion.
The loss to Gaethje just makes the road to the title a little longer.
“I don’t feel like I’m passing the torch yet,” Cerrone said in his post-fight interview.
