After the announcement, Cerrone, who was at the arena in San Antonio, was moved by the tribute and the public's applause. The fighter was in tears after being surprised by the arrival of his wife and children, who arrived in the city by surprise and made a point of hugging him on this historic day.
Professional in MMA from 2006 to 2022, Donald became a true favorite of the North American fans. Always willing to fight, the fighter ended his career in the sport with 55 commitments, 36 of which were triumphs.
