Mirko Cro Cop was uncharacteristically reflective and maybe even nostalgic in the UFC 137 press conference today, at which he indicated that his Saturday fight with Roy "Big Country" Nelson could be his last--win or lose. Cro Cop was regretful that his UFC career didn't go according to plan (4-5, three bad knockout losses) but is ostensibly satisfied with his very successful career in Japan and Europe. When asked what his plans are for retirement, Cro Cop said he would focus on his family, perhaps leaving the sport behind.
^ A kickers chance, you might say. Also a leg kick attack could work. He is faster than Nelson and can kick and circle out, wearing down the big man like Ruas/Varelans.
