Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Earlier as we speak, UFC Light-weight and Welterweight veteran Donald Cerrone stirred the pot by cancelling his retirement and saying a UFC comeback. The previous title challenger’s announcement was partially anticipated, as a result of MMA retirements typically don’t final (ask this former “Cowboy” foe). Nonetheless, provided that the retired Corridor of Famer was overtly taking steroids and having fun with the advantages, it appeared like there have been obstacles between the striker and a return to the Octagon.
Nicely, there’s not less than yet another. UFC CEO Dana White has at all times been a fan of Cerrone’s anybody, wherever perspective and thrilling combating fashion, however White was lower than enthused concerning the thought of Cerrone again within the Octagon. In reality, he just about shut down the entire thought outright when requested about it after Tuesday’s episode of Contenders Sequence.
“I hate it,” White responded when requested for his emotions about Cerrone’s potential return. “Love him, hate that. He retired, it’s only for what, what’s left to show? If you wish to earn cash, let’s determine one thing else out. When guys retire, they retire for a motive. They retire as a result of they realize it’s over. You already know it’s. So, I believe that — not simply this sport however any skilled sport — it’s arduous to stroll away from. Not simply the cash, clearly that’s a really arduous a part of it however the feeling of strolling out of that tunnel, the sensation of getting within the cage, and the place is packed.
“Each time we’re at a present, once you present ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone on the display screen, the place goes nuts. He’s beloved. He’s beloved as a result of the man goes to conflict, and he’s been in wars for years. It’s time to not go to conflict anymore man, there’s nothing left to show for him.”
When requested to completely verify that Cerrone received’t return to the Octagon, White reiterated once more, “I’d quite work one thing else out.”
As White defined, it’s most likely for one of the best that Cerrone doesn’t return to face some UFC younger gun to be put out to pasture. If he’s actually that motivated to compete once more, he may at all times search launch from his UFC contract and head over to the UFC retirement house that’s Naked Knuckle Combating Championship.
