UFC CEO Dana White has recently accepted a challenge worth a whopping $100K involving former MMA star Donald Cerrone. However, it doesn’t involve another fighter but White’s ‘legit badass’ bull known as Twisted Steel.
Dana White has responded to Donald Cerrone’s challenge
Taking to his Twitter/X, Dana White said that his bull usually bucks at PBR. However, the bull was was bucking at the iconic venue Madison Square Garden. Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone was took note of the bull and called him out.
It has come to light that Cerrone wants to ride ‘Twisted Steel’ and Dana White has agreed to allow Cerrone to ride the bull.
As it seems, Twisted Steel is a difficult bull to ride and the last person to ride him lasted a mere two and a half seconds. Well, it will be quite interesting to see how Cerrone manages to ride the bull. Here’s what Dana White said:
“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 added:
“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.

Donald Cerrone retired in 2022
Donald Cerrone was certainly a formidable opponent in his prime. However, in the later stages of his decorated career his form dipped. The fighter battled fierce and rising opponents when he switched weight classes, facing Leon Edwards and Conor McGregor. However, he endured losses against both the fighters, who went on to become champions in their respective weight classes.
In his last fight, Donald Cerrone faced Jim Miller in a losing effort in the UFC in 2022. Aftre losing via guillotine choke submission, he declared his retirement.
We will now have to wait and see how the challenge pans out.
