American mixed martial artist Donald Cerrone was a troubled child before becoming a professional. He was diagnosed with an attention deficit disorder at a young age, and sadly, his medical condition wasn’t given enough attention.
Due to this, he was often involved in street fights and would wound up in jail. His parents could not handle the trouble he kept bringing home when he was 16, so he was sent to his paternal grandmother Jerry Cerrone. After many bails and disappointments, he entered Air Academy and began pursuing a martial arts career when he was 20.
His childhood and teenage years might not be that great, but he was able to move on and rise from his dark past. Before joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship, he first started in a gym in Commerce City called Freedom Fighters.
He was able to train with many MMA fighters, including Keith Jardine and Jon Jones, thus giving him an assignment in the World Extreme Cagefighting. His first fight was also his first win– even earning him a promotion after defeating Kenneth Alexander.
He stayed fighting in the WEC known as “Cowboy” until 2010 when the WEC was merged with UFC making him an automatic UFC fighter. Since then, he has had several fights where he won, lost, and even suffered from injuries.
