Donald Cerrone

I remember kickboxing and traveling the world when I was young. I would go to Japan or Africa, and I would go for the experience. As soon as I got off the plane, we'd go have a good time, party. Fighting was just the outlet of what I was doing there. ”

My time with the WEC was great for me; it was great to be able to get big-show experience, headline fight-cards, and fight for world titles. ”

You have a short window, you know, and if I plan on living the lifestyle I want, I've got to make a nest egg. ”

To be honest I quit taking training and fighting so seriously and went back to living my life and having fun. I try to teach that to all the guys who come out here to train and live with me. ”

I don't want to sound arrogant or cocky, but taking a fight on short notice against 'Cowboy,' you have to be mentally strong. ”

I thought that Yoel Romero and Tim Means got the only two tainted bottles of protein in the world. I thought it was crazy. You never know with these companies; you've got to be careful. ”

I've got to control my emotions. When I fight out of emotions, it doesn't end up so well. ”

People get all caught up thinking they have to train a certain way or take a certain approach to things, but there's so much more to this than fitting into what other people think you are supposed to do. You have to have fun and enjoy what you are doing; otherwise, what is it all worth? ”

It's kind of stupid that people think I'm just partying all the time. ”

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be the best, but I would just fight anyone, any time. I don't care. ”
