Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is no dummy. After his submission win over former teammate Mike Perry on Saturday, the UFC mainstay did what everyone who is even Conor McGregor-adjacent should do when given the opportunity—he challenged the Irish megastar to a fight.
McGregor, who established himself as the biggest drawing card in combat sports with blockbuster box office performances against the likes of Nate Diaz, Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov, is the kind of fighter who can change a peer's life forever. His opponents will likely never be in a bigger fight, under brighter lights, for more money than when they step into the cage with the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion.
