In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone and Joe Rogan, JRE MMA Show #39 with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone explores cowboy Cerrone torches Jackson-Wink, near-death cave dive, psychedelics Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone joins Joe Rogan for a wide‑ranging, raw conversation that centers on his painful break with the Jackson-Wink MMA gym, driven by money, loyalty conflicts, and the Mike Perry fight. Cerrone details how the gym culture changed from an elite, tight-knit team into what he calls a “puppy mill,” and why he built his own BMF Ranch to regain control of his training. The episode then veers into his intense near-death cave-diving experience, his transformative use of DMT and psilocybin to address fear and performance anxiety, and his relentless appetite for extreme pursuits—racing, mounted shooting, hunting, and future movie work. Throughout, the discussion touches on loyalty, ego, mental health, drugs, parenting, and how to live a full, authentic life while navigating public backlash and modern sensitivities.
