Donald Cerrone

Donald Cerrone holds a professional record of 36-17-0 (2 NC) and competes at lightweight as an orthodox fighter standing 6'1" with a 73-inch reach. The veteran's fighting style reflects a balanced approach between striking and grappling, averaging 4.41 strikes landed per minute with 46% accuracy while absorbing 4.48 strikes per minute and defending 53% of incoming strikes.

Cerrone's submission threat is notable at 1.2 submissions per 15 minutes, complemented by 1.16 takedowns per 15 minutes at 33% accuracy and strong 73% takedown defense. His recent fight history shows mixed results: he earned a unanimous decision victory over Eddie Alvarez in September 2014, submitted Dennis Siver in the opening round in October 2011, and defeated Jamie Varner via unanimous decision in September 2010.

However, his recent record has declined, including a first-round knockout loss to Justin Gaethje in September 2019 and a first-round TKO loss to Darren Till in October 2017. With a 3-3 record across his last eight fights, Cerrone remains an experienced competitor whose well-rounded skill set and submission prowess continue to make him a factor in the lightweight division despite the wear of an extensive fighting resume.
