The following is an article translated to English from ProFightStore.com:
For last three weeks, Vlado Boi, brother of boxing champion Stjepan Boi, is training with Crocop for his return in UFC octagon, where his opponent will be dangerous Cheick Kongo. Here's what Vlado says about his previous work with Crocop:
Vlado: I worked with Mirko for almost three years, from fight with Bob Sapp till his second fight with Josh Barnett. We made a deal for indefinite time. I will certainly be with him for his next UFC fights. After that, it all depends on results.
What will be your training programme, do you plan to make some changes?
Vlado: Mirko is a stand up fighter, he must fight like that. We will work on stand up fighting and force defensive ground game. Elbows are nasty weapons, but Crocop neglected them in trainings. We will concentrate on them too.
You are also training with Goran Relji, young croatian BJJ and MMA hope, who was former Crocop's sparring partner?
Goran has great ground game, and he has great potential for MMA. He won 2 gold medals on Gracie Invitational. Currently he is under contract with Hardcore Team from Netherlands, and he will do few more MMA fights for them. Sparring with Crocop will certainly be good for him, while Crocop will be able to master his defensive ground game.
At the end of the text, writer asks: Boi + Crocop = UFC belt?
