As expected Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic has replaced injured Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and now meets fellow heavyweight Frank Mir in the main event of next month’s UFC 119 event.
News of the change first surfaced on Sunday, and UFC executives today made it official.
“UFC 119: Mir vs. Cro Cop” takes place Sept. 25 at Conseco Fieldhouse in
Indianapolis, and the night’s main card airs on pay-per-view.
