    This is possibly a mix-up. After the fight Mirko commented on wanting to fight Randy or Big Nog.

    If not, Mirko isn't a man of his word.

    Re: Cro Cop Spoiler Inside

    My guess is that he's eyeing another fight with Fedor, or Aleks. Who knows? Maybe he just wants to be a can crusher in Japan?

    It's pretty shameful on his part.

    Even if we are to believe that Dana is a scumbag and the contracts the UFC uses amount to indentured servitude, Mirko is still a liar. Which makes him no better.

    Re: Cro Cop bails on UFC?

    Yeah, he won his fight, but he beat Mustapha Al-Turk...........

    If this is true, expect to see Al-Turk getting his ass kicked again sometime soon before being cut, instead of just being cut right away

    Re: Cro Cop bails on UFC?

    According to Cro Cop, he hasn't signed with either the UFC or DREAM. It is still up in the air.

    Cro Cop has in fact signed with Dream, making him a liar twice over.

    Re: Mirko Cro Cop ditches UFC verbal agreement, signs with Dream

    see, he is a complete bullshit artist. I never believe the words coming out of this guys mouth. He's promoting himself and doesn't want to fight the best, he just wants easy fights and big paydays. He'll fight the occasional good fighter to keep the farce going.

    Word is he wants to rematch Fedor. If going to Dream gets him that fight, it'll be worthwhile.

    Re: Mirko Cro Cop ditches UFC verbal agreement, signs with Dream

    I think those are just words too. He's 1/2 the fighter he once was and unless he's dying to fight in Japan so he can juice, he has no chance of lasting with Fedor at all.

    He'll fight 2-4 cans and then maybe get a huge payday to take a beating from Fedor.

    Mirko was offered the Cain Velasquez fight and turned it down.

    welcome back to "As the Cro Cop turns"

    gawd just give him more fights and let him get injured in the 1st or second one... I'm 99% sure that'll happen anyways

    Especially when he starts to get his ass kicked.

    Mirko also has the gall to say that the eye poke was nothing and that al-Turk moved into his fingers to make it worse, after saying right after the fight that he didn't even realize he'd poked him.

    LOL like I said he's full of shit. Cro-Cop is fighting Mighty-Mo. A K-1 fighter who has 4 MMA fights to his name and is tough as nails, but shouldn't pose much of a challenge to Cro-Cop, but will provide a nice easy big payday
