Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic officially is cleared to compete in Saturday’s UFC 119 pay-per-view main event.
Filipovic suffered an eye poke in the final training session in his home country of Croatia this past week, which sparked reports of a potential withdrawal from his fight with Frank Mir.
Today, though, UFC officials issued a statement that “Cro Cop” has been cleared by an Indianapolis ophthalmologist.
