Matt Mitrione hoping for Mirko Cro Cop fight in South Korea

As the UFC's debut event in South Korea begins to take shape, UFC veteran Matt Mitrione is throwing his name into the proverbial hat in a big way.

Mitrione told MMAFighting.com on Friday that he'd like to fight Mirko Cro Cop on the Nov. 28 card, scheduled to be held at Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul. According to sources close to the event, the UFC is planning on booking Cro Cop on the card, but it is unclear against who at this time.

"I would be honored to fight a legend like Cro Cop in Korea," Mitrione said.
