No belt on the line. Nobody gave a f&#8211;k. Nobody said, &#8216;Where&#8217;s the gold? Where&#8217;s the strap? Where&#8217;s the leather?&#8217; &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cerrone asked Rogan, &#8220;Do you think the UFC is going more towards big fights than championship fights?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope that&#8217;s what they do,&#8221; Rogan claimed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope so too,&#8221; Cerrone told Rogan.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the awesome video of the Joe Rogan and &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Cerrone as they touch upon what may be in store for Cerrone&#8217;s next fight. It sounds like since the bout isn&#8217;t yet official, &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; was not able to leak who the potential opponent is.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that Cerrone, who is always a very active and game fighter threw his name in the hat for <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/donald-cowboy-cerrone\/donald-cerrone-calls-robbie-lawler-ufc-205-fight-msg\/\">a bout against former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Who do you think Donald &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Cerrone will be fighting next, perhaps at UFC 205 in New York?
