Donald Anthony Cerrone (/sᵻˈroʊni/; born March 29, 1983) is an American professional mixed martial artist and former professional kickboxer currently competing in the UFC's Lightweight and Welterweight divisions. As of August 27, 2016, he is #10 in the official UFC Lightweight rankings and #5 in the Welterweight division. A professional competitor since 2006, Cerrone has also formerly competed for the WEC. Cerrone currently holds the record for most post-fight bonuses (Fight/Performance of the Night, Knockout/Submissions of the Night) in UFC/WEC history with 18. He is also known as the "busiest" fighter in the UFC, due to consistently having at least four fights per year since 2013.
Cerrone was born in Colombus, Ohio, of Italian heritage, but he grew up in Denver, Colorado. Energetic and troubled in his youth, Cerrone was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder at a young age and would often get into fights as he was growing up. Cerrone attended Air Academy High School which is when he began professional bull riding and it is during this time that his parents divorced, causing Cerrone to live with his grandparents. In his sophomore year, Cerrone was introduced to kickboxing and taekwondo by a friend, and compiled an undefeated amateur record of 13-0. Cerrone, who later also began training in Muay Thai, later turned professional, compiling an undefeated record of 28-0 with 18 first-round knockout wins, before transitioning into mixed martial arts.
