Donald Cerrone didn’t get the win in today’s UFC Fight Night 132 headliner against Leon Edwards but said he’s proud of himself for even stepping in the octagon. Unbeknownst to anyone except Cerrone (33-11 MMA, 20-8 UFC) and his team until after the fight, “Cowboy” became ill just hours before he was scheduled to get in the octagon. He dealt with vomiting and more, and was on the verge of informing UFC brass he would not be able to compete in the main event against Edwards (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC). “This is the first time in my career I’ve ever almost called (UFC President) Dana (White) and said, ‘I’m not coming in to work today,’” Cerrone told reporters at the UFC Fight Night 132 post-fight news conference
