Based on appearance, Mirko Cro Cop didn’t exactly reassure fans and media of the condition of his right eye at the UFC 119 pre-fight press conference Thursday at the Old National Centre in Indianapolis, Ind.
A reserved Cro Cop sat in his assigned seat wearing sunglasses, but it didn’t take long to hear from Cro Cop about his condition, as the first question was directed towards the Croatian heavyweight.
“My eyes are good,” Cro Cop answered. “Eyes are good.”
With Cro Cop short on words, UFC president Dana White expanded on Cro Cop’s condition.
“Mirko’s been checked out by doctors in Croatia, doctors here,” Dana White said. “Mirko’s eye is good and ready to go. He wouldn’t be fighting if he wasn’t.”
