Citing Croatian Web portal Index.hr,
Fighters Only Magazine is reporting that
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (25-6-2, 1 NC) is close to re-signing with the UFC. It had been widely speculated that the kickboxer was bound for Japanese promotion Dream.
“A source tells us that Cro Cop got an offer that is simply non-refusable," states the article. "Cro Cop will almost certainly look at the returning to the strongest MMA league in the world currently knows."
If he does reup with the UFC, I think it’s a bad move for the knockout artist. “Cro Cop” could likely continue to handpick his opponents in Japan, but not so much in the Octagon. With a developing roster of heavyweight talent, there’s only tough matchups for the aging striker in the UFC. Barring a miracle, I find a title run in the world’s toughest league out of reach for Filipovic.
