Donald Cerrone is, quite simply, a badass.

‘Cowboy’ is famed for his activity in the octagon, having fought 20 times since signing with the UFC in 2011, which is one of the reasons that he is up there with the most popular fighters in the promotion.

Cerrone’s welterweight debut took place last month when the former lightweight challenger submitted Alex Oliveira via triangle choke in the first round.

It didn’t take long for the 32-year-old to get booked for his second bout at 170 lbs when it was revealed that he would take on the heavy-handed Canadian Patrick Cote at the UFC’s first event in Ottawa, which is scheduled for June 18.

But, not content to wait around for three months, Cerrone took to Twitter on Monday evening to put out an open invitation to fighters for a fight prior to his summer clash.

The challenge has yet to be taken up by anyone but it just goes to show how very game Cerrone is when it comes to fighting.
