Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

La verdad es que la forma de salir de ufc, por la puerta de atras, no dice mucho de el como gran luchador y mucho menos como aspirante al cinturon, visto lo visto, no creo que Mirko levante nunca el cinturon de campeon dentro de la jaula.

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

contra choi PIERDE. No lo puede noquear y en el suelo no lo veo dominandolo en el GP. Como mucho decisión. Quizá suene un poco extraño, pero mi opinión es q cotnra un striker puro, fuerte y grande CC lo tiene jodido (vease Kongo, Hunt...)

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

Algunas reacciones de luchadores sobre la decision de Mirko:

After learning that Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic had left the UFC to return to Japan and fight for the new organization DREAM, some ex-UFC fighters gave their thoughts on the current situation:

Kevin Randleman - "My first response is oh well. I am not fighting in the UFC so it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other. A lot of people didn't believe in him anymore but he is good enough to win in the UFC. It takes time to adjust to the cage. I don't think it is good or bad for the sport and I am really not surprised that he left."

Mark Coleman - "Basically, I could really care less. It was his choice, he came into the UFC and got whipped and now he left. I wouldn't say that I am surprised but now he is going to have to live with coming in, getting smashed and not finishing the job."

Bas Rutten - "I feel bad to hear that he is leaving because I really wanted to see the Cro Cop that I knew from Japan because I think that he wasn't the same Cro Cop in the UFC, so I can understand if he wants to go to another organization. God Speed!!"

Renato "Babalu" Sobral - "I have heard of the new organization and I am surprised the UFC isn't suing him yet. Good for Cro Cop, he didn't have a good experience in the UFC so it is good that he is able to go fight somewhere else. He is a very good fighter."

jaja me ha gustado Babalú, se nota que no le guarda ningún rencor a Dana ;D dice "me extraña que UFC aún no le haya denunciado"

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

Muy buena la de Babalu. ;D

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

Por cierto Merrill,¿has reconocido que UFC es la mejor organizacion del mundo gracias a Pride?,creo que desde que te han puesto esa firma te estas convirtiendo al lado oscuro de la fuerza.Concentraros compañeros,entre todos conseguiremos atraerlo totalmente. ;D

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

bueno, las reacciones de los luchadores que ha puesto saku son pura propaganda anti ufc, un comentarista de pride y tres luchadores que se han pirado de ufc...


pd.-antes habia un poco de debate entre pride y ufc (los gustos personales eran los que consideraban a una u otra mejor...) ahora pride y sus mejores luchadores (excepto fedorito) son ufc asi que debate solucionado jeje

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

Amén. nos guste o no...

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

madre mia!!!! quien lo iba a decir ,en fin una pena :-[

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

pues es una lastima, no por perder un par de combates que le puede pasar a cualquiera sino por lo que comentais del mal sabor de boca que deja. Mirko es admirable tanto por su lucha, como por su comportamiento en el ring, pero en fin el sabra que es lo mejor para si mismo.

quiza despues del HK de Gonzaga ve las cosas de otra manera xd.

Si, las cosas las ve borrosas.

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

interesante





Here's my translation. I hope it's satisfying.


Why did you leave the UFC?

I just couldn't wait until May.

But Dana White told the press he was waiting for you and not the other way around?

White obviously thought I was still on vacation but I notified him I was in full training and wanted to compete in March. However, the UFC couldn't find me an opponent that fast and I didn't want to stop my preparations and start all over again for my match in May. Besides I was HUNGRY for a fight and nervous (anxious) like a dog.

How did you come to an agreement with DREAM?

Soon after my conversation with Dana I got a call from DREAM. Altough I didn't sign any contract we came to an agreement for 3 fights in March, June and September. I never had written contracts with the Japenese because we have always done business by oral agreement (handshake).

What has drawn you to Dream?

The key thing was the opporunity to fight in March. Also Japan is where I built my name and in a way my second home.

What happened to your obligations towards the UFC?

I'm going to go back to the UFC without a doubt, altough my contract doesn't bind me to do so. The date of return depends on a possible fight with Fedor. The fight should take place on 31st December if Fedor accepts. If that failes I'll be back in the UFC by the end of this year.

The UFC has 'agreed' to let you go to the competition?

I have managed to come to terms with Dana and I'm thankful for his cooperation and understanding. I owe not only the UFC but especially my british fans who really supported me in my last two bouts. Not even in Japan have I received such support so I'm really sorry I was in a crisis back then.

With who did you want to fight in the UFC?

I asked for a rematch with Gonzaga but that was not possible because he lost to Werdum. Then I asked for Kongo but that wasn't possible either.

Will you be training in the ring or in the cage?

I'm continuing to train in the cage. Transitioning from the cage to the ring is not a problem but the other way around requires adjustments. It seems all the Pride fighters
underperformed when they made the transition to the UFC.

So you didn't take the transition from the ring to the octagon well?

I had fallen into some kind of psychological crisis. Even in the Sanchez fight I wasn't my old self. Maybe I got saturated with fighting after the OWGP.

How do you explain this crisis?

It's hard to explain, all I know is that I lost that KILLER INSTINCT. I lost 5kg (10lb) before the fight with Kongo, I had a hard time wanting to train and on the day of the fight I thought to myself: Why do I even need this, why am I fighting a guy I have never seen before. I was fed up with it all.

Are you in your old form again?

Everything is alright now. The fire in me is back and I want to fight really bad. I've never felt better, I'm in excellent shape. Once I fought for my material excistance now i fight for pride.

Will there be a tv broadcast of your fights from DREAM?

Most certainly.

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

Gracias por la entrevista.

Interesante lo que dice sobre su marcha de UFC, y la imposibilidad de éstos por darle una lucha hasta mayo. Principal motivo para marcharse...
Y esta bien que no cierre las puertas a volver a UFC, ojala lo haga y con buena suerte.

No se si lo he entendido bien esto:

Quiere decir que si Fedor acepta luchar con el el 31 de diciembre, volvera a UFC? O que volvera a UFC si estos preparan una lucha para enfrentarle al ruso a final de año?

En cualquier caso, me da a que eso no va a pasar, y que para esa fecha veo mas factible un Fedor-Randy, que otra cosa.

Saludos

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

las excusas, como el culo...

Re: Cro Cop deja UFC y luchará el 15 de marzo en Dreams

no saku, al reves. Si pelea contra fedor el 31 de diciembre aguanta en dreams, sino, despues de la pelea de septiembre se vuelve a UFC
