Cerrone holds the records for most wins and finishes in the history of the promotion and while he is known as a deadly kick boxer, ‘Cowboy’ is also adept on the ground, having picked up 17 submission victories in his career.

Cerrone is set to take on Conor McGregor at UFC 246 and Cowboy knows that people are expecting McGregor to get back to winning ways come fight night. However, Cerrone feels he is ready to shock the world.

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Cowboy said that he has ‘been there and done that’ too many times before and therefore, he feels he is the better martial artist of the pair.

Speaking to ESPN, UFC president Dana White recently reminded everyone that Cerrone will definitely not be a push over for McGregor and it would be a mistake to take him lightly.

Cerrone said that his motivation for the fight against McGregor isn’t the fame and money that will quite obviously come with the booking, but rather to make his son proud when they look back at his career together.
