“Gotta Get on That Alpinestars…” – Nascar Starlet Hailie Deegan Cheekily Responds to Praise by UFC Legend

His most recent remarks about aspiring NASCAR racer Hailie Deegan on her Instagram post illustrate this.

The duo was seen engaging with each other in Deegan’s Instagram comment section. Cerrone dropped a pleasant compliment for Deegan, and she was quick to give ‘Cowboy’ a witty reply.
