Former PRIDE and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight striker Mirko Filipovic is contemplating a return to mixed martial arts (MMA), despite being violently knocked out in three consecutive fights prior to his 2011 retirement.
Former UFC Heavyweight contender Mirko Filipovic has decided to step into the combat ring one more time as he is set to compete in K-1's Rising 2012 World Max Final in Madrid, Spain on May 27, 2012.
On Sat., Nov. 12, Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos will battle to see who the baddest heavyweight on the planet is at UFC on FOX in Anaheim. MMAmania.com dives into who may be next in line.
The ratings are in for the UFC 137 "Prelims" special that aired on Spike TV this past Oct. 29 and, for the second straight event, the numbers don't look good.
Roy Nelson picked up his first win in over a year at UFC 137 on Oct. 29 over Mirko Filipovic. But it's a bittersweet victory, seeing as it resulted in the retirement of the legendary "Cro Cop."
At UFC 137, following a third round TKO to Roy Nelson, Mirko Filipovic ended his MMA career. "Cro Cop" spent a decade head kicking his way into fans' hearts.
