Donald Cerrone had said he was thinking about ending his retirement, and now the legendary fighter’s confirmed he plans to reach the 50 UFC fight mark.

Cerrone (36-17), who is now 41, retired in July, 2022, following a submission loss to Jim Miller. The defeat extended “Cowboy’s” winless streak to 7.

During a recent appearance on the “Pacman Jones Show”, Cerrone confirmed that he’s re-entered the drug testing pool, as a means to return to the Octagon (quote via MMA Junkie.com).

“I just re-entered the testing pool. I have to be six months clean. Probably June, July we will make the comeback. Coming back for two more. Just two more. I want 50 fights in the UFC (under Zuffa). I promised the wife no matter what happens, no matter the outcomes – two more and that’s it.”

Cerrone, who openly admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs during retirement, also noted that he will likely compete at middleweight. “Cowboy” has reportedly already been tested once, since re-entering the drug testing program, and did not test positive for any banned substances.
