A loss this Saturday night at UFC 137 for Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic could be the last time he is seen inside the UFC Octagon but during a Q&A this week the former Pride Grand Prix winner talked about his fight with Roy Nelson and explained why he feels he won't lose three fights in a row:

“Right now, I feel this isn’t my last fight,” he said. “Definitely not. I am going to beat Roy Nelson. I don’t feel this is the end. Not at all. I am still Cro Cop. I am fighting for victory. I am fighting to show the people who buried me alive after I lost two fights in a row that I can ‘raise from the grave.’

“I won’t lose three fights in a row. I am still me, I am still Cro Cop. I know I must win this fight to still be in the UFC. I have to win. I don’t underestimate Nelson. He hits hard with wild hooks and has a chin of iron, but I know I will beat him. If I lose, I will apologize for wasting everyone’s time.”
