UFC 276: Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone retires after 38th UFC fight
The embodiment of the "anyone, anywhere, anytime" fight mentality, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone laid his hat and gloves inside the octagon Saturday night in retirement. "I just don't love it anymore," said Cerrone, who lost to Jim Miller at UFC 276 in Las Vegas. It was Cerrone's 38th career UFC fight, trailing only Miller (40). The second-round guillotine submission was the third straight win for Miller. Cerrone ended his career losing six of his last seven fights. "I'm going to be a movie star, baby," Cerrone said before walking out of the octagon for the final time as he carried his young children in his arms.
