Mirko Cro Cop announces retirement following severe health problems
Few names in the world of combat sports as a whole are more note-worthy and iconic than Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.
Arguably the greatest heavyweight athlete in the history of combat sports, Mirko Cro Cop has had a career that spans multiple decades, and the 44-year-old striker confirmed his retirement from fighting today on Nova TV out of Croatia.
At first glance, the reader may see this and think nothing of it. Professional fighters retire all the time, but rarely does it ever last.
