Winning eight consecutive fights in a two-year span has earned Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone a rematch with the last man to defeat him, current UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos . The champ, however, has been sidelined due to a knee injury, so the two aren’t expected to get in the Octagon together until sometime in late 2015 at the soonest. The heat between them hit new heights recently, however, when Cerrone took to Twitter to accuse dos Anjos of being a less-than-clean fighter. Having been popped for diuretics during his early WEC days, Cerrone left himself wide open for the champ to fire back… and he did. The war of words has only continued to escalate… “ @AustinTAllen : @Cowboycerrone Any news on when you’re beating Dos Anjos?” Whenever he cycles off and can pass the blood test — Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) July 20, 2015 “ @EHulseDC : @Cowboycerrone @AustinTAllen pic.twitter.com/znmGGk0NtU ” That’s funny? — Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) July 20, 2015 “ @jacwe : @AustinTAllen since “scheduled” to fight RDA can’t you request to have him tested at anytime?” Don’t care, he can stay on it — Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) July 20, 2015 “ @Kyro7 : @Cowboycerrone You got any proof of that?.” Nope.
