Donald Cerrone has a scare during a rock climbing incident | UFC NEWS

Donald Cerrone, a top Lightweight in the world, has always been known as sort of wild man. His moniker “Cowboy” is not so much a nickname as it is a way of life and he lives and breathes living on the wild side.
When you go bull riding, four wheeling, motocrossing, and rock climbing it’s not a matter of if you will get hurt but when. Word from Cerrone’s own twitter account is that he had a very scary incident while rock-climbing.

Cerrone has been injured in the past while motocrossing. He wrecked so badly that his guts literally spilled out. They ended up having to take some of his intestines and stomach out. This injury re-surfaced two weeks prior to his fight with Jeremy Stephens at UFC on FUEL TV 3. He was motocrossing, again, and again he rolled his intestines. “I was racing some motocross and I wrecked real bad and just kind of spilled my guts out,” Cerrone told Sherdog. “They had to take a bunch of my intestines and part of my stomach. What happened this time is, my stomach basically rolled around the intestine.” The doctors had to pump water in to basically unravel his stomach. It worked, and he went onto a unanimous decision victory over Stephens.
He continued to show disregard for the dangers of rock climbing, by going a week before his fight at UFC on Fox 6 against Anthony Pettis. “I’m just wild and crazy, and I need these things,” he told BloodyElbow.com the week of that fight. It seems this time the brush with death has changed his mind.
I guess you need to dance with death.. Just so you know how Precious life is! @danawhite the wild man IS THROUGH.#tooclosetoday #9lives

You never want to box in a wild animal. In the end you may take the wild out and they will never be the same. Let’s hope that Cerrone stopping his wild ways does not change the fighter that we have grown to enjoy watching. We do know this, he is now going to be MMA focused from now on.
YES RT @macbeth210: @cowboycerrone Does this mean 100% focus on MMA? #teamCowboy
