UFC 274 media day<\/a>. “Let\u2019s f*****g earn your keep, let\u2019s be here, let everybody know you f*cking belong here that you aren’t here on just a wimp. Then I also look at the flip coin of that and also say, I have nothing else to prove. I\u2019ve set records. I\u2019ve been here, I\u2019ve stayed here, I\u2019ve done what I needed to do. I look at myself in the mirror, I\u2019m here for legacy now.<\/p>\n![\"Donald](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Donald-Cerrone-2-2.png\")
<\/p>\n
“This is just for me, which is f*****g even cooler. I don\u2019t have to worry about impressing anyone anymore. That\u2019s done, nor do I care,” Cerrone continued. “I\u2019m at the age now where you like me if you don\u2019t, I don\u2019t give a f**k. This is for me, this is legacy. I want to look myself in the mirror and be like, \u2018You did everything you could and that\u2019s why I\u2019m still here, right?\u2019 Where the last two years, I did nothing I had to do. I\u2019d just go to train. I\u2019m not making f*****g excuses, I just didn\u2019t do what I need to do. Preparation is a direct fact of what my career has spiraled into. So it\u2019s time to rectify that and fight for legacy baby.”<\/p>\n
As Donald Cerrone says, he has a ton of records as he’s tied for most wins in UFC history, is second in finishes, has the third most fights, and is tied for the most post-fight bonuses. Although many think his legacy is already secured, \u2018Cowboy\u2019 believes there is more to be done.<\/p>\n
