Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone is a rugged fighter out of Denver, Colorado, who holds the record for most wins in UFC history (21). The 36-year-old's willingness to take on all comers has helped make him one of the most popular fighters in the sport.

Besides being one of the toughest in the business, Cerrone is also known for his signature cowboy hat and appreciation for a cold beer — particularly Budweiser.

Of course, anyone fit to play Donald Cerrone would have to make a convincing cowboy. A man who has plenty of experience playing such a character is Emmy nominated actor Walton Goggins.

The man has been in practically every major cowboy film made over the last two decades, including (but not limited to) Django Unchained, Diablo, The Hateful Eight, and even Cowboys and Aliens.

When a casting director needs a cowboy, Goggins is the man they call. The fact that this particular cowboy happens to also be a professional cage fighter shouldn't be an issue for an actor as talented as Goggins.
