Sherdog’s Top 10: Fighters Worth the Price of Admission

8. Donald Cerrone


No one loves to scrap any more than Cerrone. The Jackson-Wink MMA rep has always been willing to wade through hellfire in order to put as much damage as possible on his opponents; and while his approach has not always yielded the desired results, “Cowboy” has rarely been involved in a dull fight.

After rising to power in World Extreme Cagefighting, Cerrone moved to the UFC as part of the WEC merger and instantly became a fan favorite. Always ready, willing and able to fight anyone at any time, he has become revered for his inclination to accept bouts on short notice, no matter the odds. Battles with Nate Diaz, Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller have all earned performance bonuses, as did his knockouts of Charles Oliveira and Adriano Martins. In all, Cerrone has captured a staggering 16 post-fight bonuses between the WEC and UFC.
