“(Let them do) at least one more. I hope he (Cerrone) receives the opportunity to choose his next challenges. (…) He had a grappling match with RDA (Rafael dos Anjos). (…) The fight against Niko (Price) wasn't a bad fight, it was competitive. Niko is a 'crazy', wild guy. The duel against (Anthony) Pettis, I think he won. (…) I think he deserves one more fight, if he wants to retire with victory,” said Morono.
With the new defeat, Donald became even more complicated within Ultimate. The new setback meant that the veteran with the most victories within the organization reached his sixth commitment without a triumph.
