Cowboy recalls getting punched in the face at Whole Foods
Donald Cerrone: “They come rolling over, running their mouths. And dude just smoked me and blew my glasses off my face. I was f-cking livid, man.”
Donald Cerrone is one of the light weight divisions most feared strikes and most talented and game fighters, but what happened when he got punched in the face at a Whole Foods? He tells the story to MMAJunkie:
I got punched in the mouth at a Whole Foods, (and it) knocked the glasses off my head, Cerrone said earlier this week. I was texting on my phone and walking across the crosswalk, me and (fiancee Lindsay Sheffield). The guy’s honking. She’s like, ‘You know that guy?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know who that guy is.’ I just didn’t pay any attention and went to my car.
They come rolling over, running their mouths. And dude just smoked me and blew my glasses off my face. I was f-cking livid, man. Seeing fire in my eyes.
So what did Cerrone, who’s ranked No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings and generally considered a world-class giver of ass-kickings, do? Admittedly, a few years ago, he likely would have got his revenge right then and there.
But now?
Now, where I’m at having to deal with the boat incident and going through all this, I just bit the bullet, he said. I told the dude, ‘Today – today is your lucky day.’
And Cerrone drove away.
