!!!Official:Crocop will not retire (source provided) surgery&new cage crocop REBORN!!
Source: Croatian magazine: Vercenji
Mirko 'Crocop' filipovic successfully went through surgery which involved straightening his nasal cartilage. on sept. 28.
Ever since his debut in pride, his cartilage has been twisted, which prevented him from breathing properly, thus, ;crocop always fought with his mouthpiece slightly out of his mouth (which means he had trouble breathing with his nose and thus breathed with his mouth instead)
crocop said "When i went up to the doctor, he didn't believe the state my nose was in. He didn't even believe that I was an athlete. He said that my nose would account for at least a 50% decrease in my stamina"
crocop also removed the small ufc-cage he had in his house; he decided to switch to the official -size cage.
"I had trouble determining the distance when i fought in the bigger cage; now i am properly training for that."
crocop stills says that he will challenge for the ufc belt.
I believe him.
Crocop fans unite.
Crocop aint dead, and his lhk will revive.
