His response was blunt and harsh:
Donald Cerrone picked up a Zuffa record 17th fight-night bonus at UFC Fight Night 89 when he stopped Patrick Cote with strikes in the third round of their welterweight bout.
Despite all that extra cash, however, Cerrone (30-7 MMA, 17-4 UFC) said he’s still not happy with the way in which he’s been compensated by the UFC. And after beating Cote (23-10 MMA, 10-10 UFC), he said he wants to revisit the issue with company President Dana White.
(The bonuses) all sound nice – according to my pay I don’t mean (expletive) to the UFC, Cerrone told MMAjunkie at UFC Fight Night 89’s post-fight news conference. But we’ll see. (I��m) going to talk to Dana after this and figure that out.
