Donald Cerrone Targets UFC Comeback in 2025 at Middleweight

Hello Viewers, Welcome Back to SSN24!

UFC Hall of Famer Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is making headlines once again as he announces his return to the Octagon. After retiring in 2022 following a loss to Jim Miller, the 41-year-old legend revealed on a recent podcast with Adam "Pacman" Jones that he has re-entered the UFC's drug-testing pool, operated by Drug Free Sport International (DFSI).

Cerrone has set his sights on a middleweight comeback in 2025, with plans to compete in two final fights before officially retiring. He aims to hit the remarkable milestone of 50 UFC fights, a testament to his legendary career. "I promised my wife, no matter what happens, two more and that's it," Cerrone stated.

Known for his thrilling performances in the lightweight and welterweight divisions, Cerrone now considers the 185-pound middleweight category for his comeback. His career accolades include challenging for gold in the WEC and UFC, though he narrowly missed capturing the title each time.

Adding to his ambition, Cerrone is determined to extend his UFC records for the most fights, post-fight bonuses, and finishes. Unlike many fighters who dabble in boxing or pursue bouts with influencers like the Paul brothers, "Cowboy" remains focused on mixed martial arts. "If they want to come fight MMA, I’d gladly welcome either. But as far as boxing, I wouldn't sign up for that ass whooping," he remarked.

Donald Cerrone's return is poised to be an exciting chapter in his storied career. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to his comeback in the summer of 2025.
