Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic Wins at UFC 99, then he goes back to DREAM
Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic scored a first round TKO of Mostapha Al-Turk at UFC 99 (with an eye poke assist) in Germany. Then Cro Cop notified the UFC that he will be returning to Japan’s Dream promotion with a 3 fight deal. UFC President Dana White was not to happy with Cro Cop’s decision.
Here’s Dana White’s thoughts on Cro Cop decision, as he told Yahoo’s Kevin Iole:
“Isn’t that a dirty [expletive] thing to do? He [expletived] me. The first time in the history of the company I do one over the phone. He promised me a three-fight deal and he [expletived] me”…
“He didn’t keep his word,†White said, who said he’d had a two-hour talk with Filipovic on the day Filipovic texted and asked to be able to return. “He talked about honor and all this other [expletive] and he [expletived] me…He fed me this bull [expletive] about wanting to take a run for the title, and what I think he did was, he went out and did this. He turned down every other [expletive] fighter I offered him, because I needed him to fight Cain. He didn’t just poke Al-Turk; he poked me, too.â€
