Mirko-DREAMS-Fighter Reactions-Kongo DENIAL-Discussion!!

Postby NWOWolfpack » Wed Feb 13, 2008 9:19 am


and

PRIDE's 2006 Open-Weight Grand Prix champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic has officially parted ways with the UFC and signed with DREAM - a new collaborative effort between FEG (K-1, HERO'S) and former DSE staff (PRIDE).

The new event is a drastic change following new creative leadership over HERO's. FEG is hoping to bring new life to their MMA show and the addition of former DSE staff is what they are looking for.

At an official press conference on Wednesday the promotion announced that "Cro Cop" had joined their ranks and would be fighting on their upcoming March 15 card. No opponent was named.

PDG has learned that his currently contract is for three fights over a year. Details regarding his departure for the UFC are currently unavailable.

Filipovic (22-6-2) signed with the UFC following his first major championship - winning PRIDE's 2006 Open-Weight Grand Prix. He made his UFC debut against Eddie Sanchez in February of 2007. Following his TKO win he lost his next two fights - succumbing to a head kick KO from Gabriel Gonzaga and dropping a decision to Cheick Kongo.

Prior to his 1-2 run in the UFC, "Cro Cop" was considered the number two heavyweight in the world. The Croatian striker holds wins over former UFC heavyweight champion and PRIDE's 2006 Open-Weight Grand Prix finalist Josh Barnett, Olympic Judo gold medalist Hidehiko Yoshida, Aleskander Emelianenko, former PRIDE middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva, Igor Vovchanchyn, Kevin Randleman, Mark Coleman, Heath Herring, Kazuyuki Fujita, Japanese superstar and MMA legend Kazushi Sakuraba, and Ikuhisa Minowa.

***ONE WORD-Dissapointed***

DANA MUST HAVE SAID HIGHWAY OR PAY CUT. MIRKO MUST HAVE THOUGHT HE WAS STILL WORTH TOP $ EVEN WITH A 1-2 RECORD IN THE CAGE.

FOREVER SCARRED AND WILL BE REMEBERED AS A QUITER.

Unbelievable. I don't know what to think but I can't wait to hear what the UFC has to say about this.
