[@hawaiianrussian1047]

Everytime I see grandma Cerrone I get emotional. God bless her soul

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Most supportive family in mma she’s so iconic and you can tell she knows abit about the fighting too

[@OutdoorsmanBushcraft]

That’s deep!

[@brettgast]

She's so sweet.

[@joakimpedersen1502]

Donald, oh Donald where do i even start. You got me into mma in 2015 after that headkick tko against John Makdessi and i’ve been a mma fan ever since. You are a legend and i just want to thank you.

[@ardnfast]

I was fortunate enough to be sitting in the nose bleeds at the MGM Grand when that all went down. My fianceè and I had flown over from Australia (we'd married the week prior in the Valley of Fire) and for our honeymoon had planned on watching Jon vs DC (we all know how that went down 🥴) Anyway, after Andrei and Travis played rock em sock em robots we got to see the Cowboy KO John, then later Rumble drop DC on his butt. Thanks for the memories, Cowboy. It was quite the night 👌🙌🙏

[@TheDYLANHAMMER]

Wasnt expecting to cry a few minutes after clicking this video. What a story

[@albert_kempowillenborg1707]

The grandfather story, me too

[@blackdog7275]

😩😭 This got me so hard, wasn't ready for it. "He just needs to know that we're never going to throw him away". Cowboy became the man he is today because of that sentiment.

[@estebanlopez3207]

Your grandma is awesome man. Bet your grandpa was just as great.

[@rhouser1280]

Just lost my Grandmother this week, last living grandparent. Just went through the talks you did with your Grandfather. My daughter’s water broke, my son f***ed up his ankle & I was at the hospital when I got the call about Gram. That range of emotions is rough to deal with, especially when you need to keep it together for those around you. Enjoy your time with your Grandmother man. She seems like a special woman.

[@BMFRanch]

Sorry to hear. Hang in there.

[@fury-cd9wr]

Man this made me fuckin cry my grandfather raised me and he’s currently not doing well I can’t imagine the emotional roller coaster that was

[@gabrielpadilla4191]

Cowboy is MMA. Thank you for all that you gave to entertain us.

[@christophercambronero5086]

If this is the beginning of remembering the best fights of my favorite MMA fighter, I will be so happy.

[@Last_Chance.]

As you should

[@clintoneddy2860]

HUGE PROPS TO GRANDMA/GRANDPA we may never have had to enjoyment and adrenaline rushes of watching a savage like cowboy perform on the world's biggest stage AND SHINE. so many youngsters vear off the rails and nobody "saves" them. Donald was rescued from himself when he wasn't mature enough to be able to make correct decisions. U left a real one behind.

[@ClubENTP]

You're one of the greatest story tellers of all time. I subscribed!

[@BMFRanch]

Thank you.

[@brendenmccoll]

My favorite fighter ever!

[@derekmynear4727]

What a man, fighter....and more importantly, a person. Love this guy.

[@ZenLion444]

Wow I’m crying so hard. I miss my dad. He died in 2011, I was 28 but felt like I was 5 when it happened. Always loved you, Cowboy.

[@zachbates2230]

Cowboy is one of my all time favorites. Alot of fighters say anyone anytime but Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone really lived it. Gold or no gold he's a champion.

[@Santoroz]

"He needed to know that we would never throw him away" Much love Grandma Jerry!

[@bjjtom]

Just lost my grandma at 104. Enjoy every minute with yours 🙏

[@hughbrame4193]

Damn Cowboy, that was deep! & you are 1 of the best 2 ever do it! 🤘

[@mx500a4]

This shit got me misty eyed. You are blessed to have such great grandparents.

[@bray2424]

donald is one of my favourite fighters ever. one of my heroes.

[@nobodyspecialfromkentucky]

I still remember the episode on tapout when they had that show. And mask always screaming/, cowboy!

[@Last_Chance.]

Don't we all

[@tigersharkdiver]

I always heard Cowboy talk with love about his grandparents, so cool to see his grandma and him talk about it in this video.

[@JoJo-xo7lg]

Just beautiful Cowboy, you are lucky much like myself with a beautiful family. God bless man, thanks for the career brother. ❤❤

[@chrismaclean-maestas4401]

No matter how many times I hear this story, it never gets any easier. I feel every bit of emotion with cowboy telling it and having just lost my grandpa about 3 weeks ago, it resonates so much more! Donald is one hell of a human being, one hell of a man and I cherish each moment we spent together training, hanging out, playing ball, eating or whatever so much more now. Much love bro! Sending blessings to you and the fam!

[@MrShooter03]

Man, this hits. My story isn’t as awesome as yours Cowboy, but my Grandpa was everything.

[@tristannolan85]

he was my fav fighter from the wec. i was hyped for his ufc debut and it didnt disappoint. another classic cerrone fight

[@coltonrenz3753]

You are one of the G.O.A.T.’s cowboy, god bless the rest of your life

[@pzs3668]

Mr Cerrone, you are by far a great athlete and role model. This video hit hard. Thank you

[@CMD1414]

NGL this got me tearin up

[@559mnvcs4ever]

Man I can completely relate to u brotha. My grandparents were my everything. More parents than my real parents. They are gone now and I'm still depressed. Ur a big idol of mine. Glad to have met u once in my life

[@JTC1516]

Damn this got me crying cowboy. You're the best 💪

[@monstermind4286]

What a story. Cowboy the one and only 🔥

[@alcorraalb6029]

It’s 4:06 am here in Tucson,Arizona and I’m sitting here tearing up while watching this video before I start my workday.

[@benjaminbilskie4953]

Dude I love this and it brings me to tears … my moms parents we’re my second parents to my older brother and I and my Grandpa has been gone for 10 years and grandma 6 years and I still remember talking to them like it was yesterday because they live through me … like our grandparents will live through you buddy ! You’re one of the greatest people to have ever lived Cowboy .

[@user-so7tp7fi3v]

Inspiring, this left me speechless. I’ve always been a fan and even more so now.

[@check2raiser]

Who’s been watching this guy since his episode of “Tapout”?

[@JakeHurtt1994]

Holy shit this was emotional. Amazing story.

[@PurpleGengar822]

Fuck man you can hear the pain and despair that grandma and cowboy feel. Lost my grandpa to cancer and my uncle died suddenly. Messed my whole life up. Gave me unimaginable stress and medical issues. Now im on meds to help my anxiety and depression. Nothing compares to losing a loved one. It hits hard. And to anybody out there who hasn't lost a loved one, when it happens PLEASE get help. Don't end up like me

[@michaelolsen9907]

This one Got me man. What a story. ❤️

[@Ivegotnochoicesilencemyvoice]

I'm not crying! You're crying!

[@J_Ghotier]

Told myself I wasn’t gonna cry today. More people should love like this 👌

[@iamdamo]

farken hell bro. Damn man, that was incredible. Much love to your family for lifting you up so high! I wish the same for everyone here.

[@t-bonewrecks290]

Never said no to anyone, fucking legend

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Definition of a legend! 🫡

[@Last_Chance.]

Obviously

[@tommyluck19]

Great man! Bad ass dude. A true legend. Thank You so much for this story ❤️

[@Rya_N33]

My first introduction to cowboy was his Nate Diaz fight. It was 2017 and my friend was watching it on you tube and I couldn’t believe how tough fighters where shortly after that I started watching ufc full time.

[@drakeslocum2564]

That’s the one thing I wish I had, the chance to ask my Grandpa those important questions. My pawpaw was born in 1928 and died in 2017, at 89 years old. I was 10 at the time, so I wasn’t smart enough at the time to even think about getting advice from him. Now, at 17, I wish I could just ask him about life, something he had so much experience in, especially since he fought in the Korean War.

[@NoGo-nl5ll]

This should be on UFC chronicles/fightlore. Fire video bro.

[@nickmorgan8434]

Your a great man ..I remember watching you when the Tapout crew followed you around many years ago

[@luispacheco8745]

How awesome 😢 Donald 😢

[@butchdabayboss7073]

Man I was raised by my grandparents and lost my grandpa in 2010 to cancer. I never met my father before so he was my dad. This video made me cry.

[@KENKANIFF666]

no disrespect about grandma or grandpa cerrone, is allowed, period. hands on sight, they deserve total and upmost respect, classic, humble, beautiful humans. exactly the same as my grandparents. complete love from australia, cowboy and the entire cerrone mob xo.

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Soooo fucking intense man . God dam Donald

[@kstokman]

God bless the Cerrone’s

[@bendaves77]

Love hearing stories about your journey Cowboy!!! Hearing about your grandpa and seeing your grandma help tell the story showed me why you are the legend that you are.. legends create other legends to leave in their place.. I was also raised around the ww2 generation and they were the best teachers imaginable.. parents who were boomers just didn't get life and understand the way the previous generation did and many of us gen x'ers were raised by our grandparents and this is why we're different than the boomers and the generations after us

[@shadogabbassio3785]

Much love cowboy. May your grandfather rest in peace. Without a doubt hes looking down from heaven and is so insanely proud of the man you became and how you've inspired so many countless people. You were definitely worth saving brother. Thanks gramps. The world needed this guy.

[@brandonzasada7196]

This got me right in the feels, love hearing this. You're the man Cowboy.

[@R6Dave11]

Much love to Cowboy and his Grandma. Enjoy the time you've got.

[@bmoredrew4724]

I never knew cowboy's granddad passed while he was fighting his first ufc fight that's crazy and his grandma is the sweetest lady in the world of you were a cowboy fan you've always known about grams lol

[@hollywoodhendo3762]

You're amazing that was a great story I've been a big fan for years and seeing you help the next generation with your youth camp is amazing I hope it all works out hopefully you have a quick and easy recovery on the bicep so you can go 90 ol'son 🤘🤘

[@BMFRanch]

I appreciate that! Thanks amigo.

[@billmurray1431]

You're a good man, Donald......

[@zachrucker6717]

[@pkz420]

Hey, I came to see people bleed... not to cry. What are you doing to me? Somebody hit somebody!

[@arcstatic8950]

Awesome! Grandpa's proud, no doubt! You have a good story! Not one of these sheep marching to the beat of society.

[@jasonratcliffe3137]

This hurt a lot.

[@johnnyd9992]

[@al.s9351]

You should've thought of that moment before every fight because you'd never have a slow start

[@murdersaab8999]

Man Cowboy that's really moving story really hit me in the heart! But I watched you guys in the w e c days and to me that was also a big stage. I just I don't want you to down sell your time that organization cuz that was a great organization with a lot of great Fighters. I loved watching you guys in the wec shows back in the day

[@BMFRanch]
