UFC welterweight veteran Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is one of the most fearless men in all of MMA and he has made that very clear over the years.<\/p>\n

Whether it be from his in the cage antics and frequency\u00a0to take fights or all of his crazy non-fighting related activities and hobbies, Cowboy has had a crazy life.<\/p>\n

Today the former UFC and WEC lightweight title challenger got somewhat of a wakeup call though as catastrophy struck during a deep sea dive. Cerrone took to Instagram to detail the “scariest moment” of his life.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BmmC1adhay2\/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=yxyyy160fx4<\/p>\n

Today I can honestly say I\u2019m Happy to be alive. We had catastrophic worst case scenario on our dive. Total silt out , lost the cave line and lost my buddy couldn\u2019t see my own hands was the most scariest moment to this day in my life. I remember kissing Danger and Lindsay and saying I\u2019ll see y\u2019all soon, don\u2019t worry daddy\u2019s coming home!!!! Told the grim reaper \u201c Not today Mother F*cker \u201c I\u2019m figuring this the fuck out and coming home !!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thankfully Cerrone did indeed come out of everything okay.<\/p>\n

The now 35-year old Cowboy just recently welcomed his very first child to the world as he references him and his fiance in the post.<\/p>\n

No matter the time of year, Cerrone always finds himself doing fun and wild activities. Even when he has a fight coming up…as he does right now.<\/p>\n

At UFC Denver on November 10th, Cerrone will take on his newest JacksonWink teammate, “Platinum” Mike Perry<\/a> in the night’s co-main event.<\/p>\n

For Cerrone, this will be his first fight since his main event loss to Leon Edwards at UFC Singapore in June. Cerrone is 1-4 in his last five outings with that lone win coming against Yancy Medeiros in February.<\/p>\n
