Donald Cerrone’s Planned UFC Return Never Happened
Donald Cerrone’s planned UFC return did not become a fight. He last competed in July 2022, when he lost to Jim Miller at UFC 276 and announced his retirement. Cerrone later spoke about the possibility of fighting again and reaching 50 professional bouts, but the UFC did not book a comeback bout.
A return that stayed an intention
Cerrone’s comments generated interest because he had been one of the promotion’s most active fighters. His UFC career included wins across lightweight and welterweight, as well as a run of main events and bonus-winning performances. The talk of a return remained an intention rather than an official announcement of an opponent or date.
Cerrone’s last UFC appearance
The distinction matters when describing his record: a stated goal to fight again does not count as a scheduled comeback. Cerrone remains retired from competition, with his last Octagon appearance in 2022.
