Tatsuya Mizuno Replaces Nakao Against Cro Cop

[NWOWolfpack]

Mirko Cro Cop won't be making his DREAM debut against Yoshihiro Nakao, as previously reported. While it's still unclear why Nakao decided to pull back, it was confirmed earlier today that Japanese judoka Tatsuya Mizuno wil take his place and square off against Cro Cop.

Mizuno is pretty much unknown fighter with 3-2 record that contains no notable opponents.

Mirko's official blog on http://www.mma-id.com/CROCOP has the latest Cro Cop's thoughts:

"Although I announced Yoshihiro Nakao as my first opponent in DREAM, this fight is not going to happen. I'm not familliar with reasons and I won't be asking for any. The most important thing is that I'm going to fight on Saturday and my opponent will be Tatsuya Mizuno. I have very little information about my next opponent so I'll just go out there and fight."

Sorry to say it since I am a CC fan but I just interviewed Barnett and even he hasn't ever heard of this new opponent that CC is fighting as of today...........

There's nothing suspicious Wolf, Gotanda (contributor from Japan) says Nakao signed with WVR for a better deal (and no Crocop haha)....
