Facing five-fight skid, Donald Cerrone declares ‘I’m going to leave when I’m done – I don’t ever want walking papers’

Fans have never had to question whether Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone wanted to fight. But as his losses have piled up, there are questions about how long he can.

Facing a five-fight skid, Cerrone made it known before UFC Vegas 11 that he – and not his promoter – wants be the one to retire when that time comes.

“I don’t even want to think of losing and all the things that could happen, because I’ve trained my ass off and I’m ready to rock and roll, but I plan on being here for a long time,” he said in advance of his co-headliner opposite Niko Price on Saturday at UFC APEX.
