Donald Cerrone has made his first public comments since his UFC 274 withdrawal, and it came with some news about his fighting future.

So I got two more fights left in the UFC. So thank you, Dana White. Thank you, Joe Lauzon. Thank you for understanding and not taking that fight with an ill, sick ‘Cowboy.’ I wouldn’t want to fight that guy. Cerrone currently is tied for the most wins in UFC history. Like I said, ‘Cowboy’s’ got two more fights under Zuffa. I want 50 fights and then I’m bowing out, and I’m out of here, boys. White said there’s a possibility the UFC will reschedule the matchup with Lauzon, whom Cerrone revealed will be the penultimate fight of his MMA career. One of those would’ve been against Lauzon on Saturday, but now it will have to wait. Only Andrei Arlovski and Jim Miller have logged more fights under the UFC banner, but he said this was an impossible situation.
