Donald Cerrone confirmed his retirement from UFC on Saturday, after a loss to Jim Miller, with a Hollywood dream now set to be pursued.

Hollywood awaits UFC’s Cerrone

Cerrone, nicknamed “Cowboy”, lost via a second-round submission to 38-year-old Miller in Las Vegas on Saturday. That took his career record to 36-17, and after the bout, the 39-year-old confirmed his career was over.

Having placed his famous cowboy hat and gloves down in the octagon, Cerrone told Joe Rogan: “I don’t love it anymore.

“It’s hard for me to get up – this is the longest camp I’ve had in a long time – I just don’t love it anymore.
