Cerrone does not need animosity to be at his best against Iaquinta. MORE:
However, just because there is no trash talk prior to the main event at Canadian Tire Centre does not mean that Cerrone will not be bringing his ‘A’ game with him when he makes the trip to the nation’s capital. He just doesn’t need anything extra to get into the fighting mood.

Much of the reason why Cowboy has cut off his professional relationship with Jackson is due to a falling out with Jackson’s partner, Mike Winkeljohn, and Jackson’s decision to continue working with him.
