Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Earlier right this moment, UFC Light-weight and Welterweight veteran Donald Cerrone stirred the pot by cancelling his retirement and asserting 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). Nevertheless, on condition 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, anyplace angle and thrilling preventing model, however White was lower than enthused concerning the thought of Cerrone again within the Octagon. The truth is, he just about shut down the entire thought outright when requested about it after Tuesday’s episode of Contenders Collection.
“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 generate profits, let’s determine one thing else out. When guys retire, they retire for a motive. They retire as a result of they comprehend it’s over. You understand it’s. So, I believe that — not simply this sport however any skilled sport — it’s onerous to stroll away from. Not simply the cash, clearly that’s a really onerous 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 struggle, and he’s been in wars for years. It’s time to not go to struggle anymore man, there’s nothing left to show for him.”
When requested to completely affirm that Cerrone received’t return to the Octagon, White reiterated once more, “I’d fairly work one thing else out.”
As White defined, it’s in all probability 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 Preventing Championship.
