Cro Cop confirm - his last UFC fight will be at UFC 137 on October 29th in Las Vegas with Roy Nelson!
The Croatian press is reporting former PRIDE open weight grand-prix champion, Mirko Cro Cop has confirmed that he’ll take on “Ultimate Fighter” season ten winner, Roy Nelson at UFC 137 on October 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada in what will likely be his last fight inside the octagon.
The news comes via FightSite.hr who spoke to the legendary fighter just hours ago. Cro Cop also revealed, although he’s happy with the fight, he’s disappointed not to be facing long-time rival, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Cro Cop has never found his feet since making the switch to the UFC’s octagon, failing to pick up a win against anyone considered to be a contender in the heavyweight division at the time. His last loss was a third round TKO defeat at the hands of Brendan Schaub.
As for Nelson, he’ll be looking to prove his worth after coming under fire from UFC President, Dana White following his below par defeat at the hands of Frank Mir earlier this year. Prior to that he’d gone the distance and lost to current number one contender, Junior dos Santos.
