Donald Cerrone still interested in a Fight with Robbie Lawler

BEFORE UFC stacked up their UFC 205 card, Donald Cerrone vs. Robbie Lawler was one of the potential additions.

However, Lawler pulled out of the fight due but he did call Cerrone personally and informed this.

"He called me before it came out and said listen, I have to let you know I've got to pull out. I appreciated that. I was looking forward to throwing down with him,” Cerrone said to MMA Fighting.

The Cowboy added that he is still interested in a fight with Lawler.

"I was super excited about that. Lawler is a great friend of mine." he added.

When quizzed about the potential reason about Lawler’s pull out from the fight, Cerrone said that it had to be for a good reason.

"I don't know mentally what was going on with Lawler; he's not really a guy that pulls out of fights. He's a tough dude. What I think might have happened, maybe he got rocked in sparring, or maybe his head wasn't all the way healed up. Maybe there wasn't enough time. Those are just things I'm making up, I don't really know what was going on with him, those are just things that can happen.” Cerrone said.
