Only a day after being confirmed as fighting on the UFC 75 card in London, England on September 8th Mirko ‘‘Cro Cop’’ Filipovic plans to retire after seeing out the remaining 4 fights of his UFC contract.
‘‘Cro Cop’’, has had mixed fortunes since joining the UFC, for a 6-fight deal from his former promoter Pride. Before losing in devastating fashion to Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 70: Nations Collide he was reckoned by many to be the second best heavyweight on the planet, after Fedor Emelianenko, and the natural successor to Randy Couture's heavyweight UFC world title.
‘‘Cro Cop’’ has voiced his desire to return to the secret police at the end both his current term in the Croatian parliament and UFC contract.
The announcement was made on Croation television and Nikkan Sports.
