In a candid exchange on Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour Podcast, NASCAR star Kevin Harvick delved into the intriguing philosophy of former UFC legend Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone. Harvick expressed his admiration for Cowboy’s famous saying, “There’s a difference between being hurt and injured,” and sought clarification on its meaning.
Cerrone, with his trademark honesty, elaborated, “Well, if you’re injured, you can’t fight it. If you’re just hurt, you can figure it out.” He emphasized his resilience, stating, “I always tell everyone that pain in my knee or that pain in my shoulder or that pain in my rib, it’s a long way away from my heart. So I’d always just fight through it and figure out a way to get it done.”
Reflecting on past fights, Cerrone admitted to instances where he shouldn’t have fought, notably against Conor McGregor. He confessed, “Was hurt, and just mentally wasn’t ready for that. Just was done. Didn’t want to be there. And yeah, so that one. That one probably shouldn’t have. Shouldn’t have happened.” He further added, “I probably never should have went in there with the injury that I had. But it’s fighting. It’s how we get paid. And hell, I had things to buy.”
Considering the past, Cerrone accepted the potential risks of his career, emphasizing the relentless pursuit of excellence in the face of adversity.
