UFC Hall of Famer Donald Cerrone spills on post-retirement life, going to Hollywood and more

Donald Cerrone's mixed martial arts career has landed him in the UFC Hall of Fame after he walked away from the sport following UFC 276 last July. The former lightweight title challenger recently discussed how he is enjoying his retirement.

Speaking to the media following UFC on ESPN 43, 'Cowboy' stated:

"I got my hair done so the hair's growing in. Got on steroids so I couldn't come back even if I wanted to right now. I feel good. I'm healthy, happy, and just enjoying a lot of time with the kids and growing up with my family, and chasing Hollywood, which is a lot like starting from the very beginning and wanting to be a UFC fighter is how I feel. I just re-entered that realm again."

Donald Cerrone was asked if he was missing mixed martial arts and he responded:

"No, I don't. I miss the camaraderie. I miss all you guys back here. I miss this. I miss the training with the groups and the getting ready, but being in there and fighting, I don't. It was time to bow out and like I said I'm going to Hollywood and that's my next plan. That's my next mission so I enjoy moving forward with all that and I'm loving the adventure I'm on now."
