    ya, so what is it gonna be? crocop vs. a noname up and comer, like sherdog said?

    personally, i would hope it to be crocop vs. arlovski, while brandon vera fights silvia. crocop, after his domination of arlovski would then be able to destroy someone for the championship.

    I doubt if they are going to put CC on a UFN with all the coin they are shelling out for him....straight to PPV if you ask me. He'll have a can for his first fight, then maybe AA or Vera, then big Tim.

    Those are all can compared to CroCop..easy road ahead for him if this goes through.

    I know it says he's probably going, but i don't think it's officially "official" yet. Pride is making a counter offer...

    Ok, well allow me to rephrase...I think he fights a "can" such as Brandon Lee Hinkle or someone comparable, then a "tougher" fighter such as Vera / AA, and then the title shot. Although it wouldn't hurt my feelings to just skip straight to the title shot.

    I think it is tradition now that a newcomer to the UFC has to beat a TUF'er first before he can fight, sort of an initiation.

    just to clear things up a bit




    'Hi,

    first of all SORRY for another CroCop post, its getting so GAY these days and as my threat will show you it might continue until new years eve!
    The Sherdog news are WRONG.
    This is what he said in the Croatian Newspapers

    Sources http://www.jutarnji.hr/sport/ostalis...2,14,,54543.jl

    "Zagreb - Mirko Filipovic rejected news which hit the internet on Thursday on sherdog.com, a famous internet site for mma news, which said that the Croatian gladiator already signed the offer from the American organisation (UFC)."

    "I repeat, I received an offer from the UFC and other organisations. Within these offers, I have NOT promised anyone something, nor signed any kind of agreement. I will pick the best offer, the first day i receive it. I don't know who is hiding behind "some source within Mirko' camp" because no one except me knows how I will continue my sport career except me.."

    He said "some source within my camp" because the "news" from Sherdog.com claim to have these informations from someone within his camp, which they posted on Thursday.




    2nd Source: http://www.vecernji-list.hr/newsroom...97635/index.do

    Someone already had this source in this forum but he didn't really translate nothing.
    It basically says what the first said but it doesn't quote Mirko as much as the first one.
    The 2nd Source only adds that Zvonimir Lučić (CroCop's Manager) said "The decision where Mirko will fight will happen before the end of the year."


    OK, I hoped i could clear some rumors up and please stop the CroCop threads when you guys have no source like "yeah, i saw Mirko in an F18 flying to the Marines Base for Fight Night live, i saw him at the airport" STFU!!!!!!! Don't talk just to talk. Too much bullshit on here.

    i always wondered why it hadn't been posted on mmaweekly. they seem to be the most legit sources.

    CRoCop is nuts,, he totally demolished vanderlei. Sherdog i beleive is the best source for anything fight related.

    So is it actually official? This can only be good for UFC fans. Not so good for Arlovsky, Vera and Sylvia, but the fans will hopefully appreciate

    No, it's not official yet. CC has received offers from both Pride and the UFC, but has not announced a decision yet.
