There’s something strangely illogical about Donald Cerrone’s Hall of Fame career.
It’s not just his plethora of records, such as most wins (23), most finishes (16), most knockdowns (20), and most performance bonuses (17). It’s that he achieved those records without ever holding a championship, and somehow has only garnered one UFC title shot.
Even more impressive is that those UFC records were set even though he spent four years in in the old WEC, whereas by today’s standards, he’d have already been in UFC as one of the top lightweights. He was almost 28 when he started his UFC career, yet still dominates in just about every longevity category.
