Over the weekend, in the main event of UFC Vancouver, Donald Cerrone was knocked out by lightweight finisher Justin Gaethje. With this outcome, Cerrone has now lost six of his last 10 fights, but the fan favorite is still focused on his lofty goals.<\/p>\n

One of those goals is to win 50 MMA fights. Cerrone is currently at 36 wins, which means he’s got some work to do, but with the busy schedule he keeps, it’s certainly doable.<\/p>\n

\u201dI want fifty [wins]!\u201d Cerrone said post-fight (via MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201cFifty is the number I want, so I\u2019ve got new for my coaches and corners: There\u2019s going to be a lot more ups and downs and sidewaysies. When you\u2019re winning, everyone wants to know, \u2018What are you doing so special that you win?\u2019 And then when you lose, everyone\u2019s like, \u2018What didn\u2019t you do?\u2019 Nothing, man. I trained hard. I trained my ass off. It just didn\u2019t work out, so we\u2019re going to go to the drawing board and we\u2019re going to fix these things.<\/p>\n

\u201dLike I said, I love this and I\u2019m not going anywhere. This isn\u2019t a fight where \u2018Ah man, I\u2019m thinking about retirement, guys.\u2019 I\u2019m gonna go home, I\u2019m gonna … maybe work on head movement, something. Whatever shot he got me with. And I\u2019m gonna call, I\u2019m gonna get another fight scheduled, and you\u2019re gonna see me again, we\u2019re gonna be talking in this scrum again and I\u2019m gonna be like \u2018Man, I f**kin\u2019 love this. There\u2019s nowhere else I\u2019d rather be.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald Cerrone is also still determined to capture the UFC title that eluded him so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to get the belt, it\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Cerrone said. \u201cI guess I just slid down the rung a little bit, but I\u2019m going to come back, I\u2019m gonna to train hard, and I\u2019m going to get it. It\u2019s the last thing I\u2019ve got to do with my legacy. You can have the greatest legacy in the world but if I don\u2019t have a belt it just falls a little short. So now, me, reflecting on everything, that\u2019s one thing I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think Donald Cerrone can accomplish these goals?<\/p>\n
