Mirko "Cro Cop" Leaving The UFC?

Postby NWOWolfpack » Mon Feb 04, 2008 2:26 pm

According to 15rounds.com Dana White has given the Croatian Sensation Mirko "Cro Cop" until Monday February 4th to decide on whether or not he will stay with the UFC.

The UFC does not want to wait any longer for Mirko who is being hesitant with his decision. “We’re waiting to hear from him,” said White, “We told him we’d wait for him to make a decision, but he’s not making a decision.The deadline is pretty much up, and I need decision from him by Monday (February 4),”

It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds. Mirko has taken time off since his last defeat at the hands of Cheick Kongo, apparently to correct a sinus problem that had been hampering his breathing.

Stay tuned for Mirko's decision which should come in the next couple of days.

:shock: wow!!
What do you expect? The comedian is dead.

Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic not retired yet!!!

An article at European sports service http://www.sportal.hr has come in contact with Mirko Cro Cop's camp. Apparently the Croatian striker was "surprised" and not aware of Dana White's deadline of Monday Feb. 4th; the latest Mirko could notify UFC president Dana White of whether or not he planned to retire. He also stated that he is ready to face anyone, including current interim champion Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira.

Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic is currently coming off of two disappointing losses. A vicious knockout to Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 70 and a decision loss to Cheick Kongo at UFC 75. He is regarded by many as one of the top strikers in all of Mixed Martial Arts.

What I've learned so far is that through the chain (many people are involved in talks about booking a fight) there was miscommunication somewhere down the line.

I hope he comes back and wrecks some faces. I even hope he gets a rematch with Gonzaga and kicks his head-off. Props to Gonzaga though for that vicious knockout, but still, I want new fans of MMA to know what Cro-Cop is all about.

Those guys on that other site can come off life support now. Glad to see he isn't quiting though.
