Once considered among the most feared strikers in mixed martial arts,
when Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic first uttered the
words “right leg hospital, left leg cemetery,” it didn’t exactly seem
like simple braggadocio.
Filipovic has enjoyed just moderate success since joining the UFC in
2007. But with “Cro Cop” set to face fellow knockout artist Pat Barry at next week’s UFC 115 event, Filipovic said his ready to flash vintage form in a
crowd-pleasing affair.
“[Barry] is a good fighter, very fast, and I saw the way he destroyed (Antoni)
Hardonk,” Filipovic told MMAjunkie.com. “It was amazing. It will be a good
fight, and I’m looking forward to it.”
