NEWARK, N.J. — There was cause for celebration in the MMA world with Jon Jones capping off his meteoric rise by winning the UFC light-heavyweight championship, but while one young star tries to write his legend, another storied competitor might have seen his last time in the fighting arena.
Suffering a second straight knockout loss, Mirko Cro Cop is definitely done with the UFC, and possibly headed for retirement, UFC president Dana White said.
Carefully tempering his statement with respect, White said he doesn’t expect to get “an argument” from Cro Cop about continuing his career after the Croatian was knocked out by Brendan Schaub in the third round of their UFC 128 fight.
