    Mirko Cro Cop has signed a new contract with FEG/Dream to keep him in Japan for three more fights.

    There were rumours the UFC was trying to get him back for their show in Germany, but if any negotiations took place, they didn't get anywhere.

    It kind of sucks, because Crocop seems like a cool guy.

    There are some matches that he would be good in, like Crocop vs. Herring 2, Crocop vs. Big Nog 2, and Crocop vs. Couture could be interesting.

    However I think he would still struggle against the big new guys like Kongo, Gonzaga, Carwin, and Velasquez.

    rumour has it, Cro-Cop vs Overeem is a near future possibility.

    Overeem will eat him up.

    I would definitely agree. I think Overeem can definitely hang with the top 5 HWs right now, and chances are he overpowers Crocop in the clinch, standing or on the ground.

    Could Cro Cop make 205? I want him in the UFC. He is a really cool dude.

    Well he weighed in at 220 pounds for UFC 75 against Kongo. A 15 pound weight cut for a guy his size sounds very reasonable and within his capability.
