Cerrone isn’t sure which fight will be his last, so he’s looking to add to his myriad of UFC records. With a win over Lauzon, he would have the most wins in UFC history (24) and if he were to defeat Lauzon with a knockout stemming from a head kick, he would extend his own record (Cerrone currently has seven, no one else has more than four).
In addition, if Cerrone were to get a bonus, and UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira (who is also fighting on UFC 274) doesn’t not get a bonus, Cerrone would have the most bonuses in UFC history.
The thought of setting records and breaking his own marks is something that Cerrone sees as a true feather in his cap.
“That’s the coolest thing about this thing is the legacy side of my life. It’s cool to set a new record, but it’s even cooler to set your new records and break ‘em and break ‘em,” Cerrone said. “More bonuses, most bonuses, most head kick knockouts, most wins and most finishes. Let’s go stack ‘em up.”
Cerrone pauses for a second before inspiring the title of this piece.
“Cowboy breaks more records,” he said. “That’s what the headline will read.”
