(‘I am here to pick up your daughter. There is dowry, yes?’)
In a recent entry to his MMA-id.com blog, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic addresses his recovery (it’s going well) and the possibility of a fight with Alistair Overeem in Dream (he’s all for it). But what’s more interesting is that Cro Cop seems well-aware that most MMA fans believe his best days are behind him and, dammit, he’s motivated by it:
I see many people speaking about me as a washed-up fighter but this is just another boost to my motivation. I’m working hard to get back on track and meeting and defeating strong competitors in the ring is all that I think of nowdays.
Man, of all the once-heralded, now-mostly-forgotten fighters from Pride, the collapse of Cro Cop has to be the most disappointing. If it takes us saying that to get him to become a serious fighter again (and no, scheduling and then pulling out of grappling matches against members of the Gracie family doesn’t count), then it’s worth it. Even if Cro Cop gets mad and plays crazy pranks involving assault rifles on us:

commentsI think it's been a downhill ride for CroCop after his loss to Fedor. And even winning last Pride tournament was a temporary thing.
You got it, lol.
I guess I've never been here before, that's why I'm a mod. Right on clown.
I was the happiest man alive when he basically cracked Bob "The Beast" Sapp's eye socket in K-1 fighting. CroCop hits extremely hard!
When he won Pride a few years ago, and beat Josh Barnett's face in, that was when he should have retired, he was at his peak then.....
I'm confused...
Mirko isn't the man he used to be. His head swelled and he lost the fighter spirit. HE SAID SO HIMSELF BOB. You fuckin idiot bonesmoker. Fuck off and leave this site you clown. This isnt Fagdog, this is where fighters and longtime fans come to talk the fight game the real way, by not having to sugar coat everything so you won't get teh ban.
fucken internet TUFF GUYS, I hope Dana White and Gary Shaw go to your houses and rape your Lil Yorkshire terriors Ass hats.
Look at Randy Couture he lost to Chuck Liddel twice and retired, then came back to kick ass in the heavyweight division. I think that we are so used to seeing guys like Wanderlei Silva and Crocop win. So it is really strange to see them lose. Wanderlei was Pride Middleweight champ for so long that I forgot who had the belt before him, but he was destined to lose to somebody. You can't win all of the time especially in MMA. So many factors are involved that it is almost impossible to go undefeated for any long period of time. I haven't lost faith in Crocop the man is still a murderer, now he is a murderer that feels like he has to prove himself....people should be afraid.
