UFC on Versus 5 – Donald Cerrone can’t wait to get “cocky” Charles Oliveira inside the octagon

Former three-time WEC lightweight title contender, Donald Cerrone is ready to let out his pent up frustrations this weekend when he takes on talented Brazilian, Charles Oliveira on the UFC on Versus 5 card in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, explaining his opponent’s “cocky” nature has wound him up over the past week.
Speaking via MMAFighting.com, Cerrone said:

“I can’t wait to get in the ring and see his cocky (butt) standing across from me. I saw him looking at me the other day smirking, and that, to me, is cocky. I’ll smirk in the ring, you smirk back. I fight better angry.”
“I try to get my mind in the same mindset as I had for Varner because when I fought Varner … there was nothing he could have done, in my mind, to beat me. I was invincible. Getting myself back in that mindset where no one can touch me, that’s what I’m looking to get back to. What did I do, mentally, to get in that mindset? … This guy has nothing for me. What am I gonna do? That’s the mindset I’m in for this fight. There’s blood in my eyes, and I’m ready.”
When asked about his approach for this fight, Cerrone explained:
“Go in there and fight your (butt) off, like you’ve got nothing to lose. That’s what people want to see. They want to see you sit in that pocket and throw down and just take punches and give ‘em right back. That’s fun. That’s when it’s a good time. Sh-ttin’ and gettin’ and goin’ hard. I hope this weekend, we can do that.”
Cerrone picked up his second straight win inside the octagon when he defeated Vagner Rocha via unanimous decision. His previous win was a second round submission of British banger, Paul Kelly.
