Jackson: I’ll handcuff Cerrone to a chair
Donald Cerrone is never a guy to sit on the shelf that long and seems itchy to get back in there, but for his coach Greg Jackson, he will make sure it happens.
Donald Cerrone is the clear-cut number one contender to the lightweight title, but he may have to sit on the shelf until the end of the year for a title. Cerrone is never a guy to sit on the shelf that long and seems itchy to get back in there, but for his coach Greg Jackson, he will make sure it happens:
If we have to kidnap him, handcuff him to a chair, and tie him down until that title fight happens, then that’s what we’re going to have to do – if that’s what it takes, Jackson said. ‘Cowboy’ is so close to me. He’s like a brother. I love him to death. But we’ve actually got to wait for the title shot.
It’s going to be hard. It’s probably going to be the biggest test of his career – it’s not the actual fight, but the waiting for the actual fight. So hopefully he can make it through that test and get to the fight.
