Cerrone to train at Roufusport ahead of McGregor fight

Donald Cerrone will get some new looks ahead of his welterweight bout against Conor McGregor at UFC 246 on Jan. 18.

"Cowboy" is expected to visit Milwaukee's Roufusport, Duke Roufus said during "The Luke Thomas Show" last Friday.

"I'm gonna be getting a visit right after Christmas from Cowboy," the gym's head coach said. "He's coming out to do a little training with us, and I'm pretty excited about it actually."

Roufusport is home to former UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anthony Pettis, as well as lightweight contender Paul Felder, among several other top fighters.

Cerrone fought Pettis in 2013 and lost by first-round TKO. He is friends with Felder and used to train with him in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The 36-year-old was a longtime member of Jackson-Wink MMA - one of the most notable gyms in the world - but parted ways with the team last year. Cerrone currently does his training camps at his own gym, BMF Ranch, in Edgewood, New Mexico. He started training there before his departure from Jackson-Wink.

Cerrone, who meets McGregor in the UFC 246 main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is riding a two-fight skid with losses to Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson. The former title challenger holds the records for most wins and most finishes in UFC history, and is tied with ex-opponent Jim Miller for most fights in UFC history.
