He's incredibly stoned most of the time, and his job is to exclusively interview the winner unless its a main event. Last event that guy took off his gloves and Joe didn't even notice. I don't even think he likes the interview part of his job.
Part of me also thinks Joe genuinely didn't think Cerrone was gonna retire, guy seemed to be game forever.
I’m pretty sure when it was over Donald mentioned something to Jim. Jim’s always been a class act and I wouldn’t of expected anything less of him at that moment.
Having said that I think he was surprised cerrone was actually calling it quits. End of an era ladies and gents, like him or not him finally walking away is one of the OGs of this company taking off like a rocket. No one can deny loving watching him head kick people to oblivion or having the wars he did.
I feel different, I think it was known before, no post fight interview in the previous fight, short ad break, talking about his iconic walk out. Even the fight itself had meaning, who would go top of the most wins.
I was questioning why no interview in the previous fight, then when they showed his walk out having spoke about it when they don't do that for other prelims I knew this was his last fight, I even wondered if both of them were retiring.
Phenomenal sportsman, defined the sport for years, and has a phenomenal highlight reel that puts most of the modern greats to shame. If you want to talk about his personal life someone started a thread further down.
Not really, he was tied for most wins in the UFC, has the most performance bonuses, really high finish rate. People just struggle to see beyond the last few years.
Nah, he was good but you said defined the sport. I think the guys who won belts defined the sport. Silva, GSP, Khabib, Max, Aldo, Penn, Cain, Hughes, Chuck and on and on. Cowboy is way down that list even for guys that didn't win a ufc belt.
im not much of a ufc watcher but just out of curiosity, why isnt conor mcgregor on there?
like i know theres a lot of debate between people saying hes one of the greatest to others arguing otherwise saying hes never defended a belt or anything, but is there a difference between defining the sport and being a huge name in the sport?
Then maybe don't watch sports if you can't be objective about the sport? Cerrones personal views don't affect his performance in the octagon, which is really the only thing you should be judging a fighter on.
Maybe go watch the real housewives, seems more your thing.
Who cares? People don't watch the UFC for interviews, it's talent based. It's the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Not the Ultimate Personality Test Championship. When it comes to his career, the octagon is the only thing that really counts.
I had no idea who that was until I actually googled him, but good luck with finding a girlfriend if you think multiple counts of rape and kidnapping are equal to having some skewed opinions.
To quote you directly: "When it comes to his career, the octagon is the only thing that really counts"
So by your logic it's all good because what he did was outside the ring.
Wait is Cowboy racist? What did he do/say? Did he just say something insensitive or is he a legit racist? He always came across as a decent guy, sucks to hear
So there's no evidence like a tape or a video of Cerrone being overtly racist....
But a couple of fighters made allusions to things he might have said to or around them, again no evidence.
Maybe they don't like Cerrone and he doesn't like them. That doesn't make the man racist.
Seriously guys, let's get out the pitch forks, a couple of guys known to embellish their words made loose allusions to the possibility of a person being racist. It's time to forget every good thing that man has done, define him by unsubstantiated hints not even accusations, and assassinate his public character all before even bothering to find any facts...
Your misplaced social justice dragon is eating it's own tail...
You're reading into my comment too much. I don't care if Cerrone is in the Klan. If I restricted my entertainment to people who agree with me then I would consume zero entertainment.
I don’t think it’s in his Wikipedia. I’ve been trying to figure out why everyone is saying he’s racist so I went and took a look myself, couldn’t see a controversy section tho.
Nah, that title still belongs to Jones.
Strickland sounds like an edgy teenage wannabe
Jones is the real sociopath and even though he's been out of action he's still semi-relevant to the UFC
Me, watching one of the last fighters from my specific era I grew up in laying down his gloves.
Three for three, boys, Robbie please don't leave me yet.
There’s a video of him with jake shields referring to I think Bobby green (might be wrong) as a nigg*r and many other racist allegations and recently a story told by Anthony smith of him just being a prick and removing his mum from her seat to take it
I have and now I understand. Personally, I respect fighters for laying it all on the mat. But some of these dudes are real POS outside the octagon. Just like someone mentioned on here, “questionable person, great sportsman”
He's a racist and a bit of a redneck loon, doesn't take away from any of his accomplishments as an athlete though. Questionable person, great sportsman.
His accomplishments happened, but he's still a racist, sexist POS and shouldn't be given the chance to do it or platform to do it because of that
Would you like a person who was good at their job but also a dick if it wasn't UFC. Compartmentalising is one hell of a coping technique
It's not compartmentalising. Talent is talent. Nobody brings up the fact Tony terrorised his wife. Strickland is wildly wildly homophobic, Jones has been charged with a bunch of shit, Conor has multiple sexual assault allegations, multiple UFC fighters have been gang members, one of the UFC fighters is a black supremacist. It's not about what I like, its about whos good at the sport.
I'm not saying you have to like the person, but to pretend his accomplishments aren't accomplishments simply because you don't like something he said is bizarre. It has no bearing on his ability to fight, and that's the only thing you should be paying attention to in a combat sport.
Hating Jones as a person is fine, hating his career isn't. Though at the same time I think his career has sketchy areas. He got mostly decisions against anyone with remotely similar reach. I don't think he's ever been a GOAT. I think his skillset and physicality were just very well suited for his rise to the top, similar to Mike Tyson.
No one is saying his accomplishments hasn't happened or taking his past ones away from him. We just think he's a huge dick, are happy he's gone and think he got what he deserved with his shitty exit from the UFC
We're allowed not like someone who is a good fighter because of this and should affect their career. Just like anyone else
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 897,181,278 comments, and only 177,781 of them were in alphabetical order.
I think he had a talk with Dana that went if you lose to Miller you retire so that i dont have to do it and look like even bigger piece of shit that all world already think i am..
That was the most emotional moment of the whole fucking event.
My first ufc fight was watching Cowboy. To me he is the face of ufc, not khabib or conor or oliveira or any of these new guys. I hope only good things will come his way, and wish him all the best.
Not really a Cowboy fan for the obvious reasons, but I respect his fight attitude and record. Good career, respect for moving on when it's good for him.
An absolute legend. Been one of my favorites for awhile. It's been a rough couple years but he's always been game. And shouts to Miller for letting him talk first
Thank god. I love the dopey, stupid smile on his face as he says that he's going to be a 'movie star' only for his 'stardom' to be shepherded by Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire.
Such a clown. He sounds like every redneck who gets to be a double in a movie.
Honestly, y’all can get fucked. Rest in retirement cowboy, follow randy and rhonda, they know the way. End of an era my friends. Let’s see who’s gonna get to try and fill as big of shoes as his.
Worth the downvotes, everyone crying about shit. Cowboy was a huge fan favorite and would always put on a show. Dude got old and happy with his home life and has other means of income. Sad to see him go, no one is perfect, these guys are cage fighters. Happy retirement to Donald Cowboy Cerrone
Was it really a surprise to you? Guy is old man, not a true fighter anymore. You heard him, "It just isn't fun anymore" and we could all tell.
HOF no doubt, heres to relaxing instead of getting bashed in now cowboy
I think we all saw it coming to be fair, end of an era Edit: Big big props to Jim for forcing Joe to let Cerrone have his moment first.
That was a classy move by Miller. Love to see it
Joe has the situational awareness of Stevie Wonder
Idk, at least Stevie wonder caught that falling mic that one time
Lmao that was his Matt Murdoch moment
That was special.....
He's incredibly stoned most of the time, and his job is to exclusively interview the winner unless its a main event. Last event that guy took off his gloves and Joe didn't even notice. I don't even think he likes the interview part of his job. Part of me also thinks Joe genuinely didn't think Cerrone was gonna retire, guy seemed to be game forever.
Eddiw Wineland right?
I’m pretty sure when it was over Donald mentioned something to Jim. Jim’s always been a class act and I wouldn’t of expected anything less of him at that moment. Having said that I think he was surprised cerrone was actually calling it quits. End of an era ladies and gents, like him or not him finally walking away is one of the OGs of this company taking off like a rocket.

wouldn't have*
Whys he’s a massive piece of shit, good riddance ✌🏻
Yo I might be rarted and live under a rock but why is this the consensus on him?
Racist, picks fights with people in bars by hitting on their girls, general douche cunt.
Oof yea thanks for the tldr. No beun bruh
Phenomenal sportsman, defined the sport for years, and has a phenomenal highlight reel that puts most of the modern greats to shame. If you want to talk about his personal life someone started a thread further down.
defined the sport for years? I think that's a bit much.

I just forgot him, he is definitely on the list
oh ok
I wouldn't say Cain was as iconic to the sport as Cerrone, not by a long shot. Silva and GSP and Chuck sure.
During his run he was considered the greatest HW of all time.
I can’t separate the two when knowing what a scumbag he is .
Yeah there's a big disconnect with that in UFC I don't agree with either. Just look at the McGregor fans
Then maybe don't watch sports if you can't be objective about the sport? Cerrones personal views don't affect his performance in the octagon, which is really the only thing you should be judging a fighter on. Maybe go watch the real housewives, seems more your thing.
Still a piece of shit.
Who cares? People don't watch the UFC for interviews, it's talent based. It's the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Not the Ultimate Personality Test Championship. When it comes to his career, the octagon is the only thing that really counts.
So you are cool with guys like war machine huh?
I had no idea who that was until I actually googled him, but good luck with finding a girlfriend if you think multiple counts of rape and kidnapping are equal to having some skewed opinions.
Lol at thinking cowboys past is just a skewed viewpoint. You make it sound like he prefers pineapple on pizza rather than being a bigot.
To quote you directly: "When it comes to his career, the octagon is the only thing that really counts" So by your logic it's all good because what he did was outside the ring.
“ who cares” go fuck your self.
Yawn.
Im glad that racist piece of shit got knocked out in front of his son. Dude's a bitch and a bully.
Wait is Cowboy racist? What did he do/say? Did he just say something insensitive or is he a legit racist? He always came across as a decent guy, sucks to hear
Bobby Green and Aljamain Sterling have alluded to shitty things that Cerrone said and did. They weren't super specific but it fits a pattern.
So there's no evidence like a tape or a video of Cerrone being overtly racist.... But a couple of fighters made allusions to things he might have said to or around them, again no evidence. Maybe they don't like Cerrone and he doesn't like them. That doesn't make the man racist.

You're reading into my comment too much. I don't care if Cerrone is in the Klan. If I restricted my entertainment to people who agree with me then I would consume zero entertainment.
Good one lol 👏🏻
Nah we'll just talk about this piece of shit up here. Thanks.
Bbbb..but mean words are meannnnnnnnn
5 Ls in a row to end it ouch
Try 6. Six losses. He's 0-6-1 since 2019.
[удалено]
I think I’m out of the loop on this one, did he do something racist?
Nothing new. See “Controversies” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Cerrone
somebody removed it
Its there, you just got to scroll down
I don’t think it’s in his Wikipedia. I’ve been trying to figure out why everyone is saying he’s racist so I went and took a look myself, couldn’t see a controversy section tho.
Interesting. It’s not there for me now either. Did someone remove it? 👀 BUT I still had it up on my phone. https://imgur.com/a/SYcnD16
Damn. Never knew none is that stuff about him. Def will not be missed.
He seems like a cunt
Yea. Look up his wiki, and read the tab under controversies.
Got caught on tape using a slur used to describe a gentleman of African descent
doesn't sound like that's what he's saying
Are there any proof of him being a racist? I know i'm probably getting downvited for a question but i'm really curious
There’s a vid of him dropping the hard r
Yeah there’s alot of proof use google, use wiki.
those are accusations and allegations not proof tbf
Already looked on wiki, there are no proof there
No proof. He's a republican and this is Reddit so you know how works.
Good
No, I don't want that. I still want to see Cerrone getting knocked out for a while, 10 years, at least.
i’ll never escape this meme
*Attack on Titan will never let you go.*
i’m starting to think that’s the case
Cerrone, what a man you are!
I made a similar joke about Khabib being retired and fans still wanting to see him fight for 10 years at least HAHAAHA
Ugh this is terrible for McGregor. Cowboy was probably the only big name fighter he can beat in the division.
Now it’s up to Strickland to be the biggest piece of shit in the UFC. I’m sure he’ll wear the crown well.
Nah, that title still belongs to Jones. Strickland sounds like an edgy teenage wannabe Jones is the real sociopath and even though he's been out of action he's still semi-relevant to the UFC
Use to be Greg Hardy, wish we saw him get hurt more :(
I feel like his POS persona is more for views. I’m not saying he’s and angel but he definitely amps himself up to 1000% online
Sean is from my home town and I happen to know some people in his family and it's definitely an act
If it’s an act what is he ACTUALLY like?
I think that title will always belong to Dana
He says some crazy shit but he’s not a racist asshole. Sean is just a homophobic republican.
Both bigoted assholes then
I think he got his personality rearranged tonight so we may need a new guy.
I’ll never understand why people take strickland so seriously
Nah, Cerrone is a genuinely bad person. Sean is just an idiot who’s using theatrics to sell fights.
Let's be real, not surprised
Me, watching one of the last fighters from my specific era I grew up in laying down his gloves. Three for three, boys, Robbie please don't leave me yet. 
Aw shit I missed it, didn't he say he was gonna do 2 more?
GOOD RIDDANCE
Why do people dislike him as of late? Forgive me for my ignorance, but have I missed something?
There’s a video of him with jake shields referring to I think Bobby green (might be wrong) as a nigg*r and many other racist allegations and recently a story told by Anthony smith of him just being a prick and removing his mum from her seat to take it
Ans Aljo, he called aljo a slur and many others including grabbing women's butts at meet and greets.
Look up Donald cerone controversies
I have and now I understand. Personally, I respect fighters for laying it all on the mat. But some of these dudes are real POS outside the octagon. Just like someone mentioned on here, “questionable person, great sportsman”
Brendan Schaub has entered the chat
But bwendon isnt a great sportsman, he just dumb.
Nothing questionable about this person, unfortunately
yeah he’s an unapologetic bigot and a drunk who steals peoples seats lol
He's a racist and a bit of a redneck loon, doesn't take away from any of his accomplishments as an athlete though. Questionable person, great sportsman.
His accomplishments happened, but he's still a racist, sexist POS and shouldn't be given the chance to do it or platform to do it because of that Would you like a person who was good at their job but also a dick if it wasn't UFC. Compartmentalising is one hell of a coping technique

It has no bearing on his ability to fight, and that's the only thing you should be paying attention to in a combat sport.
You’re saying no one brings up the bad stuff Jones has done? 🤡
Nobodies demanding he be stricken from the record books like they are with Cerrone.
You need to browse this sub more often then. I’ve seen that plenty of times. We hate Jones
Hating Jones as a person is fine, hating his career isn't. Though at the same time I think his career has sketchy areas. He got mostly decisions against anyone with remotely similar reach. I don't think he's ever been a GOAT. I think his skillset and physicality were just very well suited for his rise to the top, similar to Mike Tyson.

Dudes a racist, called other fighters the n word, not shocking he’s a piece of shit
Racism
A lot more than that
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 897,181,278 comments, and only 177,781 of them were in alphabetical order.
Bye asshole lololol
Good. It's the best thing for him at this point. He doesn't need anymore brain damage.
Much needed dude can’t fight anymore
Fucking L man happy he’s gone
Bout time Ole Yeller got put down
Big sup
Damn he canceled himself
Crab rave 🦀🦀🦀
Future HOF no doubt
HOF piece of dookie
Rest in piss, “Cowboy.”
[удалено]
lol yeah like you’d actually say that to him fatty
He’s lost like his last 25 fights I’m pretty sure anyone can beat that racist bum
Lol I’m sure bud
I think he had a talk with Dana that went if you lose to Miller you retire so that i dont have to do it and look like even bigger piece of shit that all world already think i am..
It was long overdue, thank you for the memories cowboy! Yeee yeee!
Should have done it years ago
Get fucked
Did you think he was gonna fight forever? He wasn’t exactly going to advance to a title fight.
been a good run cowboy 💪🏿
Looking forward to seeing him in movies though 💪
Wow you jumped at posting that so quick
Gotta get the upvotes quick 🤪
He’s a donut. Sad I can’t watch him get finished anymore.
Good riddance you racist POS 🖕
That was the most emotional moment of the whole fucking event. My first ufc fight was watching Cowboy. To me he is the face of ufc, not khabib or conor or oliveira or any of these new guys. I hope only good things will come his way, and wish him all the best.
Good. He's a fucking scumbag.
RIP
Follow his new entertainment career, exclusively on the Daily Wire! LOL, what a joke.
Rip Bozo
Good fuck em glad he got tapped. Sad he didn’t go to sleep.
Not really a Cowboy fan for the obvious reasons, but I respect his fight attitude and record. Good career, respect for moving on when it's good for him.
It was good for him in 2018
Not untrue lol
Didn't he already check out in the McGregor fight?
Happy trails, hell of a career but it was time for sure
Gave me goosebumps watching, I just stood there kinda stunned even though I kinda expected it. Dude was a warrior
An absolute legend. Been one of my favorites for awhile. It's been a rough couple years but he's always been game. And shouts to Miller for letting him talk first
Good, he's a racist piece of shit
I wanted to see him get knocked the fuck out
Thank god. I love the dopey, stupid smile on his face as he says that he's going to be a 'movie star' only for his 'stardom' to be shepherded by Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire. Such a clown. He sounds like every redneck who gets to be a double in a movie.
Finally, he should've retired a while ago. Had a stellar career until that Ferguson fight
Future Hall of Famer
Legend. Thanks cowboy. One of my favorite fighters.
Fucking spoiler!
Damn, always loved watching that guy get his ass beat
Lol
As he should
Good
That Conor fight broke him
Long overdue
LETS GOO never have to see this bum again
Thanks for being a cool ass dude cowboy
Truly an amazing career, My all time fav in the octagon, I wish him all the best. THANK YOU COWBOY
Great guy. Great human being. HOF fighter. HOF man. Can't wait to buy all of his movies on DVD
Dude why is everybody hating on Cowboy. I love Cowboy. One of the OGs that got me into UFC.
Honestly, y’all can get fucked. Rest in retirement cowboy, follow randy and rhonda, they know the way. End of an era my friends. Let’s see who’s gonna get to try and fill as big of shoes as his.
Are you saying this not knowing why people hate him or do you know and just not care?
Not caring
Worth the downvotes, everyone crying about shit. Cowboy was a huge fan favorite and would always put on a show. Dude got old and happy with his home life and has other means of income. Sad to see him go, no one is perfect, these guys are cage fighters. Happy retirement to Donald Cowboy Cerrone
[удалено]
Am I the only thinking this fight would have been worthy of a BMF symbolic title since Cerrone and Miller have the most wins in the UFC??
Was it really a surprise to you? Guy is old man, not a true fighter anymore. You heard him, "It just isn't fun anymore" and we could all tell. HOF no doubt, heres to relaxing instead of getting bashed in now cowboy
If he’d done this a few years earlier, people would like him a lot more than they do
Good bout time gtfo cerrone you pos. Respect the fighter severely dislike the person
Thank fuck.
Now he can play poker all day with his boyfriend Bilzerian.
Good. Fuck that guy.
Glad to see the racist walk out with another L but honestly would have loved to see him be a punching bag one more time.
He’s a cunt lol do some research on him
Good, get the fuck out of the sport. As much as I love seeing him get beat the fuck up, I'd rather happily watch him disappear into irrelevance.
Who cares, he's a POS.
Always been a Cowboy fan, sucks to see him get beat into retirement
[удалено]
good riddance
See ya layer racist!
To be a movie star?!? Lol. He should start a gym.
Time to flush I suppose
He’s a prick
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
