Former MMA Star Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović Sparks Championship Discussion
Mirko Filipović, widely recognized as “Cro Cop,” remains a celebrated figure in mixed martial arts history. The 51-year-old Croatian fighter gained international prominence during his time with the Japanese Pride FC at the start of the 21st century, establishing himself as one of the sport’s most respected heavyweight competitors. Filipović’s career spanned multiple organizations, including the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he last competed seven years ago.
Throughout his professional career, he accumulated a record of 38 wins and 11 losses. Notably, he secured victory at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 in Zagreb. Following Hatef Moeyl’s recent victory at the FNC 27 in Munich, speculation quickly arose regarding potential challengers for the new heavyweight title.
Dražen Forgač, involved with Moeyl’s team, fueled this discussion, stating, “We are waiting for something big, given the current situation, the next opponent of Hatef will be someone else.”
The question of who will face Moeyl is now a central topic within the MMA community, with many anticipating a significant matchup for the rising champion – cro and cop alike continue to be discussed in relation to the future of the division.
