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!
