Cro Cop Stays With UFC, To Fight In September

Dallas will host Cro Cop and Brazilian Junior Dos Santos on September 19.
Mirko Filipovic`s manoeuvre has succeeded, he will stay with the UFC organisation, under the terms which suit him most! This means more fights, which means more money and more chances of retiring with the most valuable champion belt which two free fights offer at the moment.

They showed how much they wanted Cro Cop in the UFC cage, because owner Lorenzo Fertitta, otherwise a billionaire, personally arrived in Croatia to talk to Mirko and offered him a new contract, under the conditions which favour him more.

Of course, the Croatian fighter took the deal. Fertitta confirmed this in a conversation for the Las Vegas Sun, saying that everything has been arranged and that Mirko Filipovic would be fighting at least three times in his organisation. The first fight is scheduled for September 19 against Brazilian Junior Dos Santos.

The fight will take place in Dallas and if the Croatian fighter wants to the everything by the book, he might be fighting for the coveted belt in the second fight already. This would be the pinnacle of his career and he would be able to leave this sport behind.
