No matter what happens at UFC 141, it’s been a good year for Donald Cerrone. He debuted in the UFC, racked up four wins in four fights, and pocketed more than $200,000 in post-fight bonuses alone. For a guy who was scraping by on WEC wages this time last year, that’s good money.
“And it’s gone,” Cerrone told reporters with a Dennis the Menace grin earlier this week, explaining, “I now own everything I ever wanted.”
In case you haven’t noticed by now, Cerrone’s the kind of guy who marches to the beat of his own drummer. It’s not necessarily that he isn’t thinking about tomorrow so much as he is committed to getting the most out of today. While a lot of guys might have put all that bonus money toward retirement, Cerrone had other plans for it.
“I bought my sister a brand new Hummer for Christmas,” he said. “It felt good, but now I’m broke. Thanks, sis.”
