Donald Cerrone has been in this position so many times he has lost count. He’ll do it again, with a chance at history against Leon Edwards at UFC Singapore.

As one might expect, Donald Cerrone is calm, cool and collected heading into his sixth main event in the UFC Octagon, despite having the chance to make UFC history.

“Cowboy” will take on Leon Edwards in the main event of UFC Fight Night 132 this Saturday in Kallang, Singapore. The event will take place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in will air on UFC Fight Pass. If Cerrone is victorious, he will become the all-time winningest fighter in the history of the UFC.

What a road it has been to get to this point. After losing three straight fights, Cerrone was able to bounce back with a first-round finish of Yancy Medeiros at UFC Fight Night 126 in February. Edwards has been on a tear, winning his last five fights and six out of his last seven. “Rocky” is very confident heading into his first main event as he predicts an official changing of the guard in the welterweight division. Cerrone, however, has been there many times before.

“Yeah, I’m sure he thinks he’s going to go in there and just take over. Talk is cheap,” Cerrone told FanSided MMA. “He’s gonna come hard and he’s gonna come fast. There’s nothing that this kid is going to bring that I haven’t seen. I’m the old guy. With that old comes a lot of experience and technique. This is his first main event, his first big show. I’ve been here countless times. It’s nothing but a thing for me. He’s gonna come hard and I don’t think he’s going to be able to keep the tempo he plans to press. We’ll see.”

Cerrone is excited to get back in there and compete in another five round fight, which he prefers. After 44 professional fights, countless big fights, main events, co-main events and the brightest lights, names don’t matter to “Cowboy.” It’s just another day at the office.

“It’s time to go to work, man,” Cerrone said. “The excitement of the opponent, I don’t give a sh*t. I just want the when and the where. Of course, he has to be on some kind of winning streak, he has to be some kind of name. Their not just going to throw somebody in there with me for no reason. When people talk about this kid and hype him up, of course, he has to be good. I’m at the top of the list. What are you talking about? It’s not like their saying, ‘hey, it’s your first fight in the UFC, good luck.’ He’s excited, he’s game.

“I don’t know much about him. Of course, I don’t. I don’t follow the sport too much so I don’t know much about anything. And I definitely didn’t sit down and watch tape on him. That’s just one thing I don’t do, my coaches do. They are very well versed on what he does and we’ve emulated that in training, but I don’t give a sh*t what the fu*k he does.”

“This is his first main event, his first big show. I’ve been here countless times. It’s nothing but a thing for me.”

The fights and the moments have all blended together for Cerrone, that’s his veteran savvy teaming up with his cool as a cucumber demeanor. While Edwards has been focusing and game planning, Cerrone has been riding Harley Davidsons, going to the zoo and enjoying life in Singapore this week. Neither of these is inaccurate, that is what each of these fighters chose to do.

After losing three fights in a row, Cerrone did feel that he was fighting for his UFC career in February against Medeiros, a victory that tied him with Michael Bisping for the most wins in UFC history. He earned a bit of personal vindication, but on the business side of things.

“I needed to keep my damn job,” Cerrone said. “I don’t know how many fights the UFC would’ve let me lose in a row but damn, the number had to be getting close. I was nearing the chopping block so it was good too, finally, get a win.”

Despite having a long, storied career in the UFC, Cerrone’s pace of fights has slowed a little bit over the last couple of years — which is something that hasn’t made him happy. He is hoping to still have six or seven fights in 2018. The biggest problem, according to Cerrone, in keeping with his usual “Cowboy” fight years has been opponents not signing the dotted line. With Edwards wanting the fight with Cerrone already, it was refreshing to get a game opponent who is excited to share the Octagon with him.

“You would think guys would want to fight me because of my name,” Cerrone said. “I’m glad, finally, somebody said yes. I’m trying just like he is to go in there and win, get the second half of my paycheck.”

Donald Cerrone has the chance to make history on Saturday in Singapore. Leon Edwards will be standing in his way. “Cowboy” loves to fight, he loves to compete, he loves to do things most people can’t, or would never do. While he has an indifferent approach to aspects of the fight game that fascinate others, there would be something truly special to being at the top of the all-time UFC wins list.

“It’s just who I am,” Cerrone said about his attitude. “I’m pretty laid back. I’ve been here so many times, man. I’m about to set the record for winningest fighter in the UFC. It’s cool. I’ve been here. I don’t get worked up this fight week. Saturday, I’ll get out there and do work. I’m pumped about it. I can’t f***in wait.”
