Donald Cerrone har flertalet tillfällen varit nära på att få gå match mot Khabib Nurmagomedov, men av olika anledningar har mötet aldrig kunnat färdigställas. Här kan ni läsa vad Cerrone hade att säga om hela situationen, via ”MMAJunkie”:
This is the third time him and I have signed to fight and the third time that he’s pulled out. I’m kind of bummed. I was really looking forward to that fight. But hey, what are you going to do?
It’s bad luck. We were supposed to fight earlier in the year. One was called off because of Ramadan or whatever he has to do for his religion. He didn’t want to take the fight because it would put him during that period. The time before that I don’t really remember the logistics of it. Now he’s injured.
För Donald spelar det dock ingen roll vem han möter härnäst, och enligt honom är det bara att lyfta på telefonen:
I’m willing to fight anyone. It’s super easy. Call Dana. I’m ready. All you’ve got to do is call the boss and tell him you want to fight.
Cerrone har vunnit sina fyra senaste matcher inne i oktagonen, där samtliga vinster tagits hem via olika former av avslut. Sist såg vi honom slå ut Jim Miller vid ”UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Miller”.
