MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cI had this hard-on and this vindictive mind that I was going to come and conquer and slaughter \u2018Cowboy\u2019 and get my revenge. It was all out of respect because he is who he is and he beat me, so for me I had this vendetta and I had to go get it.<\/p>\n\u201cThe erection that I woke up with every morning with this (expletive) vengeance in mind just fizzled in air and now I don\u2019t want anything to do with that fight. You can call it whatever you want, I don\u2019t need to say anything else about it, I already rambled enough.”<\/p>\n
Hernandez continued, explaining that he was so disappointed in Cerrone’s loss to McGregor that he’s no longer interested in a shot at redemption against the veteran.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just I watched that fight, and yeah, McGregor did something special, but [Cerrone] quit. You\u2019re going to give me that (expletive) and you\u2019re going to (expletive) quit, like you\u2019re going to give me that performance and you\u2019re going to give McGregor whatever the (expletive) that was? That\u2019s the thing about \u2018Cowboy,\u2019 sometimes he shows up, sometimes he doesn\u2019t. I definitely lost the lust for that fight after that performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Hernandez was clearly fired up when he made this comment, it is unlikely to be well received by many fight fans. To remind, the MMA community is still roasting ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith \u2014 a respected voice in the sporting world \u2014 for making his own suggestion that Cerrone quit.<\/p>\n
