Mirko “Cro Cop” Looking To Rebound In February Fight

Heavyweight fighter Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic is ready to return to action in February after recovering from a knockout to Frank Mir in September

“Finally, I should be okay now,” Cro Cop said, “I invested a lot in training and therapy and I think 2011 will be my year, better than 2006 [when he won PRIDE's open weight grand prix with wins over Wanderlei Silva and Josh Barnett].

“I have two options for February. Which one it will be I don’t know, but for sure I will be fighting that month.”

The UFC’s February schedule includes the nearly-complete “UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort” card on February 5 in Las Vegas, as well as “UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch” on February 27 in Sydney, Australia.

Cro Cop (27-8-2) would likely land on the UFC 127 fight card or could wait for March’s UFC on Versus 3, UFC 128, or UFC Fight Night 24.
