Mirko Cro Cop returns to the UFC
 
He is fighting Mustapha Al Turk at UFC 99 in Cologne.

I'll be continuing my streak of never seeing Cro Cop win a fight by attending this show too.

Japanese contracts mean shit. :D

Fabien Barthez 05-19-2009 03:19 PM
I'm more intregued how 'much' he will get paid now, than for seeing the fight.

Rob 05-19-2009 07:08 PM
From what I hear, he is gonna be making similar numbers to last time. Just a shorter contract.

McLegend 05-19-2009 10:01 PM
I will be cheering for a left high kick by Cro Cop.

Mr. JL 05-20-2009 01:25 AM
I'm hoping he does better than his last UFC run, but its hard for him to do any worse.

Kris P Lettus 05-21-2009 11:58 AM
That whole "I didn't train for the cage" thing was bullshit.. He got dominated and it saddened me as a long time Pride fan..

Reavant 05-21-2009 06:38 PM
Its now Kongo vs Valasquez at UFC 99

Fignuts 05-22-2009 12:50 AM
wtf is it with my favorite fighters having disappointing downfalls. First Sakuraba, now Cro Cop. Jesus. Maybe I'll become a fan of a fighter who already sucks. Then I can't really get let down.

Impact! 05-22-2009 08:35 AM
Age will do that...except to Couture I suppose

Chuck Jones 05-30-2009 03:27 PM
Plus, Cro Cop has been in some brutal, demanding fights, and those start to take a on you after a while.

Mr. Monday Morning 05-31-2009 07:41 AM
LIVER KICK

Rob 05-31-2009 01:34 PM
The fight might not happen now.

Mr. JL 05-31-2009 08:50 PM
Why is that?

Rob 06-01-2009 05:43 AM
Turk doesn't want the fight apparently. Cro Cop hasn't signed his contract yet either.

Cro Cop Returns against Al-Turk on UFC 99 Card in Germany

After weeks of speculation, the news is finally official – international superstar Mirko Cro Cop is returning to the UFC. One of the most feared strikers in MMA history, the 34-year old resident of Zagreb, Croatia will be taking on England’s Mostapha Al-Turk in main card action on June 13th’s UFC 99 card at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany.

The 2006 PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix champion, Cro Cop (24-6-2) holds wins over Wanderlei Silva, Josh Barnett, Hidehiko Yoshida, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Kazushi Sakuraba, and Heath Herring. And though he only went 1-2 in his first UFC stint in 2007, he is unbeaten in three straight bouts since then and is looking forward to making a run for the UFC crown his second time around.

Don't be surprised if The Turk still pulls out. They got two fighters on standby in the event of this.

Reavant 06-01-2009 09:21 PM
well then hes still fighting isnt he ROB!

Rob 06-02-2009 03:04 AM
What?

Reavant 06-02-2009 04:18 PM
i was just being a smart ass

Rob 06-02-2009 04:47 PM
I know I just didn't get whether you meant Al Turk or Cro Cop.

:(

Reavant 06-02-2009 10:42 PM
cro cop

Rob 06-03-2009 07:28 PM
I personally didn't have a doubt about Cro Cop fighting because they needed to sell more tickets and I think they sold over 1000 in the last 2 days because of his fight being announced. I still have my doubts on Al Turk fighting though. Don't be surprised if Tim Hague, Pat Berry or Antoni Hardonk ends up fighting Cro Cop on this show.

Reavant 06-04-2009 01:34 AM
Al turk is all over ufc.com saying how hes going to beat cro cop

Rob 06-04-2009 03:08 AM
When was the last time you heard someone going into a fight saying "I'm gonna get my face smashed in"?

Terra Ryzin 06-04-2009 09:34 AM
i think he is referring to your doubts about him fighting rob.

i hope mirko knocks his head into the cheap seats. would love to see a real return of crocop

There wasn't a doubt in my head. I never even heard of the contract issue until about 10 before I wrote about him. Everything I heard before then had to do with Cro Cop getting a change of opponent. I still have doubts on the fight happening (which is what I said from the start). Cro Cop will be fighting regardless.

IRodC 06-04-2009 07:39 PM
Hopefully a LHK will know his next opponent out, whoever that may be

Im so confused by what ur saying and it doesnt really matter i guess but im bored... so there isnt a doubt in ur mind that al turk is fighting but you doubt al turk will fight cro cop?

Impact! 06-05-2009 02:02 AM
He doesn't think Turk will fight Cro Cop
