UFC Pros React To Donald Cerrone’s Quick Turnaround

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is kicking off 2015 much in the same way he spent 2014…

Fighting.

After dismantling the previously unbeaten Myles Jury at UFC 182 last weekend, Cerrone has agreed to step in for Eddie Alvarez on 15-days notice to fight former lightweight champion, Benson Henderson.

The world’s reaction:

.@Cowboycerrone is either delightfully insane or has a gambling debt to pay off. Maybe both. Either way, I respect the work ethic.

“@Cowboycerrone: You’ll about to know why they call me cowboy” ha I imagine he accepts a short notice fight while chugging beer, 1 of a kind
