Donald Cerrone

UFC |

TRAINING: I have been training at Team Jackson’s with all the guys and also training at my gym, the Tapout Ranch. I keep it mixed up between sparring, ground work and fitness, basically following the same plan, nothing new.

When and why did you start training for fighting? In high school because I had an attitude and a cowboy hat. After that I messed around with some amateur kickboxing and did pretty well. Then I went pro in the RING OF FIRE show and moved on to MMA. It has just been a progression.

What ranks and titles have you held? I was S-1 Muay Thai United States Champion

Do you have any heroes? I look up to Duane BANG Ludwig a lot

What is your favorite technique? Straight right down the pipe.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It’s a dream come true, but my work’s not done yet. I want to be a World Champion, and winning this fight is the next step.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? School of hard knocks, degree in attitude adjusting.

What was your job before you started fighting? I was a bull rider.
