Donald Cerrone Talks Issues Prior To Stephens Fight | "I rolled my intestines. From my surgery years ago."
By Jamie McAllister
Donald Cerrone comments while on Savage Dog Show.
Cerrone comments on the problems that almost lead to surgery he faced in the lead up to his victory over Jeremy Stephens at UFC on FUEL TV 3: ‘Korean Zombie vs. Poirier’
“I rolled my intestines. From my surgery years ago, I have a lot of intestinal and stomach problems still to this day, and I was in the ICU and they almost had to do surgery on me. … I was racing some motocross and I wrecked real bad and just kind of spilled my guts out. 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. Man, talk about pain. It was like someone was stabbing me. Oh, it was so brutal. I had to go to the ER, and basically they had to empty all of my intestines out and then rush water down my stomach and try to get it to unspin, kind of like a garden hose. If you have a kink in the hose, you run water and the pressure will cause it to unravel. It worked, so thank God.”
Cerrone went on to explain that his team pleaded with him to pull out of the fight however Cowboy obviously declined as he went on to dominate Stephens on route to an impressive unanimous decision victory.
The win got Cerrone back on track after dropping a decision to Nate Diaz at UFC 141. Cerrone now (5-1) in his UFC career and (18-4) overall.

Cerrone is ****in warrior man. Huge props to this guy from coming out performing like he did after goin thru that.
Now that’s a worrior! Would u ever c a boxer doing something like that?
*warrior
*you
*see
Your English *professor.
LOL
Actually it’d be “Professor” as it’s being used nominally, i.e. as a proper noun (and not for description).
You get no points.
What a stupid ****ing post, trying to troll are we?
Dude is a tough S.O.B Gotta love him and his fighting style
Going through that, cutting weight and then fighting, that’s no joke. ~BobO
anyone else interested in a Diaz – Cerrone II lol?
Yes.
Cerrone by fighting smart/greg jackson.
jesus h christ, please don’t turn cerrone into a point fighter.
cerrone is an entertaining fighter.
he can get a rematch with nick diaz, once nick gets the 55 strap from bendo. yes, bendo is going to give frankie the answer he needs… “edgar, drop to 45″
Nate
I thought that this was the “story” of why he lost to diaz???
Muh****in’ BADASS! cowboy is not to be ****ed with
I don’t believe that he wrecked motocross so bad that his ‘guts’ fell out of his stomach. He prolly just had his appendix removed and is tryin to sound like a bad ass.
Dumbass.
I was being sarcastic. But if it was that serious of a surgery he couldn’t have fought like that is all I’m saying. *****.
why not? Big Nog got ran over and crushed by a bus when he was a kid and the doctors told him he may never walk again. and he went on to becoming a ufc champion.
He’s definitely a physically tough dude, but I have to agree that his guts probably didn’t spill out his stomach. And to whomever thought he used this excuse for when Nate whooped him… His excuse for that one was that his horse broke his jaw….because you don’t get physicals, x rays, bloodwork, etc in the UFC(ya know)
his jaw wasn’t broken ya dumb ****, his lip was broken, joe even asked him after the fight ya dumb ****in **** sucker
Man, that’s badass. Tough mofo right there. Sounds like hell.
Livershot…. !!!!!
He looked freaking strong in this last fight, if you get your intestines washed out wouldn’t the help with the weight cut?
Props to Cerrone but I would love to read these comments
if anyone other than an American said this, I’m willing to bet
it wouldn’t be nearly so positive.
Can’t knock cowboy. He always comes to fight.
So what was his excuse for letting Nate Diaz dominate him?
this happened before the stephens fight, not the diaz fight. He said that Nate fought great and got him out of his game, that doesn’t sound like an excuse.
He’s a *****. Nate’s a ***** so what does that say about cowboy?
