Sunday Morning Rumor Mill
As always these are rumors that have been talked about behind closed doors between MMA higher-ups, so take them as MMA rumors.
Authority always wins and so does the Sunday Morning Rumor Mill. Celebrate one of these on the seventh day of this great week.
- Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone will make his return to the UFC octagon after getting completely starched by Conor McGregor in just 12 seconds. Many expected Cerrone to retire after the match. However, we’re told that Cerrone will return at lightweight. Here’s a list of his potential opponents.
- Cerrone could return in a double return match against Kevin Lee. Whispers to us also indicate that Donald could potentially take on the likes of Nate Diaz or a returning Gregor Gillespie.
- Also, Now that Amanda Nunes vs Megan Anderson is off, it opens up the window for Valentina Shevchenko. We’re also being told that if Shevchenko can make quick work of Jennifer Maia at UFC 255, she’ll get the next crack at Nunes. Which, would be putting Anderson on the sideline.
