Dana White Accepts ‘Cowboy’ Donald Cerrone’s Challenge vs Twisted Steel Putting $100,000 on the Line

Dana White is an enthusiastic bull owner. You read that right, the UFC CEO owns a “legit badass” bull called Twisted Steel. According to White, his bull usually bucks at PBR, however, recently he was bucking at Madison Square Garden and it just happened to be that Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone was there watching him.

And he called the bull out. Cerrone wants to ride Dana White’s bull and his requests have been heard. In a latest revelation, the MMA fighter’s claims have been heard by White who is all set to give him his shot to ride Twisted Steel. Here’s more on the story.

Dana White accepts Cerrone vs. Steel

Twisted Steel is a difficult bull to ride. According to White, the last person to ride him lasted a mere two and a half seconds. So how will Cowboy Cerrone fare? In a recent X post, White accepted Cerrone’s challenge and issued a reward of his own.

“What’s up guys? So for those of you that don’t know I own a bull. His name is Twisted Steel and he bucks in PBR. So this last weekend, he was bucking at MSG, Cowboy Cerrone was there and Cowboy Cerrone called him out saying that he wants to ride my bull.” He told his fans.

“So, Cowboy Cerrone. . . So I think the best date would be Saturday, May 18th, during the PBR finals at ATNT Stadium in Dallas, Texas. So I will donate $50,000 to the charity of your choice for you to ride him. If you last 8 seconds, I’ll give you a $100,000.” White declared as the video ends.

A big challenge for a big fighter. Will Cerrone be able to pull it off? He has previously been associated with the Professional Bull Riders or the PBR. In fact, he is a fond bull owner himself. A few years ago, he bought an offspring of a bull called Black Pearl, a bull that has won more than $500,000 in his career. But what about his fighting career?

Is Cerrone still with the UFC?

In his glory days, Donald Cerrone was a force to be reckoned with. However, the same could not be said about him in the latter days of his career. The fighter moved between weight classes to fight opponents that were vicious and on the rise. He has fought and lost to both, Conor McGregor and Leon Edwards.
