Donald Cerrone is riding off into the sunset.

Cerrone (36-17 MMA, 23-14 UFC), who is one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history, announced his decision to walk away from the sport Saturday following a submission loss to Jim Miller (35-16 MMA, 24-15 UFC) at UFC 276, which took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“Cowboy” is one of the most beloved fighters in the history of the sport, and that was proven with the feedback he received from his fellow fighters after making his announcement.
