After winning the RIZIN FF open-weight grand prix a few weeks ago in Saitama, Japan (highlights here), mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Mirko Filipovic announced (yet again) that he would officially be walking away from the hurt business due to health reasons.
But like any other aging fighter, he won’t deny that there will always be the competitive fire burning inside him.
"There will always be a fire inside of me," Cro Cop said. "But there is a time where you have to say enough," Mirko declared during a recent stop at The MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting).
