Donald Cerrone Eyes UFC Return After Re-Entering Drug Testing Pool

The 41-year-old fighter plans a summer 2025 comeback for two final bouts despite mixed reactions.

Donald Cerrone, 41, announced his intent to return to the UFC after over two years of retirement, aiming for two final fights in summer 2025.
Cerrone re-entered the UFC's anti-doping program, requiring six months of clean testing before he can compete again.
The veteran fighter, who last fought in July 2022, retired following a six-fight losing streak and has not won since 2019.
UFC President Dana White expressed reservations about Cerrone’s return, citing concerns about his age, legacy, and the risks of competing at this stage of his career.
Cerrone has openly acknowledged past use of performance-enhancing drugs during his retirement and plans to compete at middleweight upon his return.
