Breaking: Mirko Cro Cop Leaving The UFC For DREAM?

Reported by: Patrick Boucher of MMAinsiders.com - 6/14/09

After returning to the UFC, after a less than stellar run going1-2, Mirko Cro Cop returned to his usual form Saturday when he defeated Mostapha Al-Turk with a first round TKO win. Although there was some controversy due to an accidental eye poke, Cro Cop displayed lethal striking once again.

Despite his win and his intention on competing for UFC Gold, it appears that his run with the UFC may be over.

YAHOO Sports is reporting that Cro Cop has signed a three fight deal with Japanese promotion DREAM.

Dana White commented in the report saying, “He didn‘t keep his word.” A grave statement a fighter never wants to hear coming from Dana White.

Earlier in the week, Cro Cop went on record saying it would not be the last fight in the UFC. In his post fight interview with UFC.com, Cro Cop mentioned he would like to fight Randy Couture and Antonio Nogeuira in the future.

Cro Cop went on to say that he doesn’t know what will happen next. Stay tuned to MMAInsiders.com for full details on this situation.
