AUSTIN, Texas – For someone who “couldn’t even explain” the feelings and emotions that come from professional fighting, Donald Cerrone does a pretty damn good job of capturing the experience. Cerrone (32-10 MMA, 19-7 UFC), who meets Yancy Medeiros (15-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 126 headliner, has made the walk to the cage at the highest level a near-record amount of times. The upcoming fight marks the 37th bout of his UFC/WEC career, and the only fighters with more bouts in UFC/WEC/PRIDE/Strikeforce combined history are Wanderlei Silva (40) and Dan Henderson (40). “Cowboy” has experienced nearly all the highs and lows the sport has to offer. From losing a title fight to winning in highlight-reel fashion, Cerrone has his triumphs and tribulations, but it doesn’t get any easier.
