If you were expecting Mirko Cro Cop to wear his trademark checkered shorts in his next UFC fight, you're about to be deeply disappointed.
In three weeks, Mirko Cro Cop will be fighting Anthony Hamilton in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Alves in South Korea. The fight itself really has no bearing on the top of the heavyweight division, but there is some sentimental significance at play here. This will mark the first time that Cro Cop has fought under the new Reebok uniform deal, and the end result is that he cannot wear his famous red-and-white checkered shorts (patterned off the Croatian coat of arms) when he steps into the cage.
