There's no crying in UFC!
UFC 75 - London, England
Just like the picture courtesy of Sherdog.com, Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic's title hopes are on the fence.
Losing to Gabiel "Napao" Gonzaga by spectacular head kick after getting obliterated with elbows to the head at UFC 70 in Manchester, England
Mirko had a fence installed at his training center after revealing that he did not train for elbows or inside a cage. He appeared to be determined to win his next fight. At the UFC 75 pre-fight press conference as posted on the front page of his website Mirko states:
"I lost my last fight in Manchester, it was a hard time for me and I trained harder then ever. I'm ready now, I feel good and I expect a tough fight on Saturday night"
Back to fight in England, this time in London for UFC 75, he was dominated by the gigantic Frenchman Chieck Congo. In the first round Cro Cop stalked Congo making the Frenchman backup. He looked like the legendary Mirko CroCop dominating in the first round. Then the second round begins and little by little Congo found his range with his jab and mid kicks. He held Mirko aganist the fence and landed knees to his thighs, mid section and even some to the groin which got him a strong warning from UFC ref "Big" John McCarthy. Cro Cop did little, getting out struck by Congo. Rounds 2 and 3 were won by the Frenchman.
After the fight Chieck Kongo was trilled because he got a win bonus for his victory and also got Cro Cop's lunch money after bullying him around the UFC octagon.
Also sucks for the UFC, they're paying top dollar for a guy who can't beat opponents set up from him to destroy. He was supposed to fight Randy Couture, Andre Arloski, Tim Sylvia, and even rumors of a fight aganist Chuck Liddell. Now the UFC is stuck with a guy who they can't push, who might even retire and go back to being anti-terroism officer and Croatian parliamentarian.
To Cro Cop fans, pick one of the following:

Crop Cop needs more fights in the cage. He still has more fights in him.
I blame the UFC for wasting Cro Cop on no-name fighters in an attempt to "build him up". This isn't WWE. There aren't any scripts. Anything can happen.
