| Cro Cop's Announcement - I'm going to Japan Quote:
"I’m off to Tokyo. A big announcement will come straight from Japan tomorrow (February 13). When the official part is done I'll be able to provide more information about everything, and believe me, I have many things to say.
What you could easily guess by now is that I won't be retiring.
I'll keep on fighting, it's my life, it's what I do."

Yes, it is legit.
Mirko is not retiring, good news.
I must say, it is very weird for Mirko to make an announcement that he is going to make an announcement... completely weird, and I dunno.. yeah, just weird..

haha someone posted this on another forum ages ago and i thought they were trolling.
Maybe we should start a new thread for the announcement?, a lot of people might be confused by the amount of posts in this thread etc.

Unfortunate...I believe the cage just wasnt for him!
Hopefully he will get back to his dominating ways in Japan.
I believe his legacy might be somewhat tarnished to many! Unfortunatly!

Well this is odd. So the UFC may just be letting him out of his contract? Maybe they just do not care since he did not make the impact they were hoping for. I wish Cro Cop would at least try to go out on a win though. I want him to show a lot of the new fans what he is really capable of.

Um, doesnt the UFC still have him under contract?
I suppose its possible that they let him go since they were paying him a lot and he wasnt winning, but that seems a bit far fetched (especially since they would probably just sit on his contract like they did with AA so he cant fight for anybody else). Maybe the UFC will have a future show in Tokyo?

Maybe he'll have a go in K-1?, I think the kickboxing world has left him behind though.
