Breaking: Cro Cop announces retirement (maybe)

Team Cro Cop has been disbanded and at this point it seems Cro Cop will never fight for the UFC again.

No official word has been made about his contract status. I suppose it is similar to Liddell's in that he is semi-retired but in time could decide to return, with the door still being open.

I don't think it is impossible that if he decided to return that he might join a real fight team, such as Xtreme Couture, rather than do his own "spartan" thing.

I'm sure the UFC wants to retain his rights for now. No need to let him out of his deal since he could suddenly pop up in Japan or, more shockingly, in California with Strikeforce. I'm sure they'd offer him seven figures for a rematch with Fedor.

If he does fight again I suppose it's likely he'll get a showcase fight for K-1 as a farewell to his fans in the place where he made them and where they made him.
