Cerrone didn’t just stop there. When talking about his future and the possibility of hanging it up, the legendary fighter dropped an epic line.
“I’m young. When that old son of a b*tch come knocking every morning, I say ‘not today, motherf**ker. I still got a long time left. So, get your old ass out of here and come back another day,'” Cerrone told the media with a smile on his face.

How can you not love Donald Cerrone? The guy is a sound bite machine, and you can tell he’s 100% authentic.
I’m cheering for McGregor to win Saturday night, but I think there’s no doubt that Cerrone is the real deal. You just don’t find athletes like him anymore.
He’s got a kind of authenticity you can’t fake.

McGregor vs. Cowboy is going to be an exceptionally fun time Saturday night, and I hope the fight lives up to all the hype.
Through what we’ve seen so far of the buildup, it’s clear these two are going to put on a show.
