Donald Cerrone Eyes UFC Comeback to Reach 50 Career Fights

The 41-year-old UFC veteran’s return plan sparks health concerns and speculation over potential opponents.

Donald Cerrone, who retired in 2022 after six consecutive losses, plans to return to the UFC to achieve 50 total fights under the UFC-WEC banner.
The 41-year-old fighter has been inactive for over two years, raising concerns about his health and long-term brain damage from a comeback.
Cerrone intends to fight at 185 pounds, a weight class he has never competed in, prompting skepticism from UFC commentator Paul Felder and others about his readiness for heavier opponents.
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has suggested a rematch with fellow veteran Tony Ferguson, who is also far past his prime, as a potential matchup for Cerrone’s return.
UFC President Dana White and other figures have expressed disapproval of Cerrone’s comeback, though no official opponent or fight has yet been announced.
