JRE MMA Show #39 with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone

yes sir
cheers cheers and we're live and we're live there's so much to talk about so
much to talk
about years it's been a while it's been a while and uh one of the reasons why
you're here is
because i was supposed to have jackson i mean we should just get right into
this you think we should
get into it or should we yeah let them at the budweiser let the budweiser i
haven't even eat
breakfast i physically didn't eat breakfast i'm like i'm gonna drink beer with
joe i already know
he's getting me beer and that way it can hit me a lot faster and i'll loosen up
my lips a lot sooner
we can do whatever you want it's up to you you're looking thick dude how much
do you weigh now man
so i've been um so here's a crazy story i go to i go to um the pi to because dana
tells me i can't
go to 55 so i go to talk to he told you you can't go why well because he says i'm
getting old and
older well i just said he said old i'm getting old and weight cuts too hard
right so i said all right
i'm gonna go to the to the pi you guys have this amazing facility with the pi
stands for a performance
institute for people who don't know you personally there you go ufc performance
institute and uh they
have trainers and dietician nutrition right so i'm going there to meet with
them to get a guideline
and some kind of plan that we can attack so i can go down like look i met with
your guys they said it's
okay while i'm there second day into all this like crazy testing you do right
they have all kinds of
tests that they run where you get on these bikes and i mean like fuck i was the
olympic training center
testing um uh i wanted to say joe silva walked in but then that's not right
because he's not there
anymore so uh maynard no um sean shelby comes in and says cowboy uh mike perry
really wants to fight
you you want to take this fight and i was like uh i thought i was going to 55
and he said yeah he
called you out and really wants to fight you and i was like well fuck okay i'll
find him sure done
that's fine but next one can i go to 55 you know like god damn so how this perry
thing all started
was um felder's opponent got hurt um i called to fight gaethje because vic got
hurt so i was like
i'll go to 55 fight gaethje um and crazy shit just happened and then the perry
fight they offered me
and i called perry said hey man i know we're training together but this is 10
days notice let's do this
he's like fuck yeah man it'd be great let's do this so that's how that started
and then i didn't get
the fight that was the end of it for me i went to usc to go back to 155 then
all of a sudden he's
calling me out so felder winds up fighting perry you were you were gonna fight
perry or you were at
least thinking about it yeah i was like in the mix right but i couldn't i didn't
get cleared because
i had stitches because i just fought uh what i don't know 10 days before so uh
plus i was in the
hospital having my new son so it was kind of a weird time for everything but it
was wild wild wild
shit and now no now fighting perry november 10th in denver well what was what
was gonna happen was
jackson and winklejohn were supposed to be here today right well you had i mean
you've been with
them for how long man i want to say before my wc days so i went on more than 10
years yeah easily
yeah easily more than 10 years i i don't think there's another athlete there
that's been the
longer besides diego sanchez who's been there since the beginning but diego
left for a little while
left for a little while came back um so me you know holly but she was with wink
before he they merged
so but like with actually jackson jackson and i'm like there i'm like the one i'm
like it
you know you know everyone else kind of either left the gym or is retired
so what the fuck happened like how did they decide that they were going to
corner mike perry
who by the way i like a lot and i got nothing and i have nothing against the
say perry either i
don't this this this has nothing to do with perry as a fun dude i like that guy
a lot so no problem
with him i mean i took him on the boat took him shooting with me and when he
was down there part
of part of the action you know uh frank lester who's helping him with his pads
friend of mine you
know so he comes out shooting with me we go out on the boat and have fun and um
so this has nothing
to do with them i just asked when i went to go to 55 and perry called me out
and wants to fight
sure no problem but i went to talk to greg and wink and say hey this guy's
brand new to the gym
right he's only been here one camp couple of months i said i don't think that
it's okay for
him to come in and call me out like that's not not not right so if he is doing
that i don't think
we should allow him to to train here for this fight if fucking winklejohn tells
me yeah you know
i thought you called him out and oh he's just a there's a shit ass and lies
like to your face so
to me he was like yeah sure no problem i'll clear it up and we won't have any
issues um and then
the next day he calls me on the phone says you know what uh i thought about it
if we don't have
perry then i don't get paid and i need to get paid for this fight and uh uh
because you just pay greg i
don't make any money through the gym so we're just gonna go with him and then
basically tells me i'm
no longer welcome in the gym and he is he said the team had a meeting bullshit
the team didn't have a
meeting i talked to everybody the i mean there was no meeting there's no house
so to me it's like the
loyalty of wink taking over this gym is just it's just shit man turned into
like a puppy mill it's
all it's all about money now and not the old jackson when when i used to work
out we're just getting
into this i guess huh all right start chugging start chugging shit back when i
first moved down here
and i went to greg's when the tap out guys picked me up and introduced me and
all that right back when
you're on the tap out show i remember that oh yeah that uh reality show well
mask called greg and got
me that's how i i got involved with them right i
motherfucker
i left leonard garcio was fighting roger warter one of my best friends
roger what a fight that was by the way god damn right
motherfucking mexican's throwing down people forgot about that fight dude go to
fight pass
yeah right google bring that up um leonard's still the wildest dude i've ever
met i love that guy so
do i man and um so he calls me like i need you to come down for a week come for
one week help me get
ready for roger he took the fight on like three weeks notice something outlandish
just like me and
leonard do right so i go down there i literally never left when i went down
first day i walked in the
jackson's and rashad keith st pierre joe daddy stevenson uh i mean the list
goes on and on and
on and i was like wow this is what a real gym is like this is what and they all
accepted me it was
like i was like in the family right i called i owned a house in denver i called
my grandma i said i'm
never coming home i'm staying here sell the house right and i literally never
went home she would just
slowly come down to visit me and bring me truckloads of shit right literally i
lived in a closet
man fuck a third as big as this room we had a bunk bed me and leonard and uh if
one person was
standing up the other person had to be in the bed that's how small this room
was wow and i lived there
for two years above above jackson's and would train every day with him and like
i said i never left
and uh greg asked me he sat me down after about i don't know a couple weeks of
being there he said
man i want you to be my 55er and at that time he had a there's a the list of 55ers
were nuts that he
had and i was like wow fuck greg jackson who at the time was the man man right
that the gym was
like a 90 winning rate and he just he's such a knowledgeable awesome dude man
and to see
where the gym was to where the gym is now is it's like heartbreaking to me to
be honest and i and you
want to talk about loyalty which is the biggest thing in this conversation that
we're having right
now is how they pick someone over me through being loyal i stuck by greg even
when the gym
started going down when winkle john merged over all the big pros left it turned
into like a puppy mill
you know it wasn't for for back when greg had it and it was its own school you
couldn't turn up to
a pro class like like some guy couldn't just come here knock on your door like
you say you get weirdos
here all the time next you know he has shin pads on and he's sparring there's
literally at the new gym
bums come in off the street i swear to god and we'll fight these and we'll come
in and put stuff on
a fight that's a true story random bums off the street and uh that would never
happen back in the
day so greg doesn't run it anymore no he has he's like so out of the loop winkle
john runs the entire
thing and that's what is greg doing he kind of stepped back for a couple years
man like kind of
started doing other things and just kind of got burned out i guess which is why
i created the bmf
ranch i needed somewhere to go and something to do so i created my bus which is
wink's argument with
me right now saying you be at your old place you don't ever come here blah blah
i said well i don't
ever come here because you the people you let in here is outlandish like
anybody you pay 150 dollars
you can get on the masses and spar with holly holmes you know what i mean that's
that's what
it's come to down there and back in the day it was like private and just us and
good pros everyone
there for the same mission trying to trying to get better you know but i've
talked to some other
people that i don't want to name sure they've said that when they go down there
new guys will come in
and it's literally a fight it is a fight it's there's no there's no there's no
a b c class
anymore it's like literally these guys come in they want to make a name on you
but sometimes when
you're towards the end of a fight camp you don't need those new guys you don't
need that crazy sparring
right right you need you need the guys you trust and right not some random guy
i don't know right so
it's just it's it's asinine to me man what what they turn that place it's crazy
that that still
happens in mma because you're never going to find that in boxing and boxing all
sparring is controlled
control you bring in the sparring partners you know who you're working with so
i mean we talk
loyalty again to me with greg his name is on that building it's not it's wink
jackson wink right jackson fucking wink your name's first even when it came
time to to pick
the decision and they said we want to go with perry why the fuck didn't you
stand because greg's still
with me he's like yeah i'll just come to the ranch and we'll sort this out and
i'm like what the fuck
are you talking about right you tell me i can't come into the jackson wink gym
but you're gonna back
door and come to my fucking house and we're gonna train to fight me while perry
is there at the gym
you see everything he does and then you're gonna come and you're gonna train me
not to mention you're
holding classes there and he's watching i mean you might not be training him to
beat me but there's
a lot of people there that have trained me for fucking years so to me that was
the the point i was
saying like man can we just not have him there for this camp i mean there's a
lot of secrets that i
that like inner secrets that i have like you know i'm i'm fucking scared to
death to fight like
that's that's the thing he can that they can tell him like or they tell him you
know go get cowboy
mad you know that's he doesn't fight well when he's pissed off so fucking piss
him off poke at him
poke the bear piss him off get him out of his element give him up you know the
shit like this
that right so and there's a lot of other things small dumb things that i do and
tendencies that
they've seen over over the year yeah right yeah um to me that's it's very
intimate the relati
