Review: 2011-10-29, after the first round won by Roy Nelson, “Cro Cop” Filipovic almost knocks “Big Country” out with an impressive combination of punches (at the beginning of the second round) but Nelson survives and at the end of the round traps the Croatian in a crucifix and almost finishes him! The bout is stopped in the third round during another good action of Nelson that defeated Cro Cop by TKO (UFC 137: Penn vs Diaz). Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic entered the fight with a record of 27-9-2 while Roy Nelson had a record of 16-6-0. Watch the video!

Qué pena que la carrera de Mirko CroCop termine de esta manera ya no está en sus mejores tiempos, pero igual seguirá siendo una leyenda uno de los mejores peleadores de las mma y k1
acuerdo con juan ! Mirko crocop es y seguira siendo uno de los grandes del MMA
roy nelson is changing very well he will be one of the best heavyweights ever if he keeps up the good work :)
you obviously don’t watch mma much
Mirko is the best, the history of mirko cant be erased by this bad fase in UFC, Mirko the legend :D
I think mirko just got old and wasnt the same
Props to Crocop, but you know when he doesn’t use his most devastating weapon, his kicks, what does he expect? He threw only one kick in this fight. Instead of playing to his opponents strength and taking him on in fist fighting, he should have kept his distance and thrown devastating kicks. A feint to the head and then a savage kick to the kidneys like the one that took out that black dude years ago would have been awesome.
