In an interview with Nokaut.com (translated by Fighters Only), Mirko Cro Cop talked about coping with his devastating loss to Junior Dos Santos:

"I was very, very disturbed after the loss to Dos Santos. I was in such a state that I wished to hang myself in my hotel room so I would be gone. Three losses in my last seven fights is nothing but a disaster to me. That's a terrible score and I'm not happy about it"

"I already know some things that I did wrong both in the fight and in the preparation for the fight, but there are many questions that remain to be answered. I am seriously thinking about hiring a psychiatrist to help me out. I have already made some calls about it."

While Mirko has had problems with getting more focused and motivated to fight, he says that he won't stop fighting just yet:

"If someone offered me millions of dollars to quit my career right now I would not accept it. [Fighting] is my life and I don't know any other way to live... I will make some changes in my training, because I wish to fight twice more in the UFC. I am a fighter, and I will find the motivation and strength I need"
