UFC Quick Quote: Mirko Cro Cop is two wins away from a title shot
“The UFC heavyweight division is very hard at the moment. As MMA as a sport is spreading all around the world, new fighters are coming from different kind of sports and training. It’ll be tougher and tougher to take the belt. First, I want to be concentrating on my fight against Junior. If I take both of those fights, I believe the third will be the title shot.”
Pride FC 2006 Open Weight Grand Prix winner Mirko Filipovic (25-6-2) talks about his title aspirations during a UFC 103 teleconference courtesy of Cagewriter. “Cro Cop” recently returned to Zuffa at UFC 99, making a cyclops out of Mustapha Al-Turk en route to a TKO victory back on June 13. While the Croat must first stymie the emergence of a suddenly-relevant Junior Dos Santos at UFC 103 on September 19, it’s not unrealistic to think that a win after that could propel him into title contention. But who might the middle man be? Frank Mir? Big Nog? “The Natural?” Speculations welcome.
