Cro Cop vs Tyson in Las Vegas
The same questions are bothering some people for ages:
Who would win the fight between these two:
Bruce Lee or Rickson Gracie???
Shaquille O'Neal or Akebono???
Fedor Emelianenko or Grizzly the Bear???
Mirko Cro Cop or Mike Tyson???
Well this last match-up is rumored lately in croatian medias, who are quoting some un-named japanese sources about possibility for them to face each other on the Pride debut in USA.
For those who are actually wondering if this fight is gonna happen or not - I've got the answer:
Rickson by armbar!!!

Tomasović loses in final
Marko Tomasović, kickboxer and member of KBK Pitbull from Split once again show that he's one of the biggest prospects of the combat sports in Croatia today.
After his impressive debut appearance as a boxer on European Amateur Boxing Championship where he lost in first round, but showed more heart and talent than most of our "natural" boxers, Marko is back in his basic sport.
On kickboxing 8-Men Tournament under K-1 rules, which was held yesterday on August 19th in Deberecen (Hungary), Tomasović reaches the final.
In first round Tomasović beat Meiszter Gábor (Hungary) via KO, then in semi-finals he faced Hameur-Lain Zinadine (France) and won, therefore he qualified in final. But Zabit Samedov (Belarus), after 2 hard fights, was too much for Tomasović and fight was finished after the 1st round of the fight.

Another huge one by Cro Cop
Branko cut the booze and leave me alone!
from Sportske novosti, edition august 11th
sn: what is your current weight?
mcc: 101kg (223lbs)
sn: are you satisfied with you current weight?
mcc: very
sn: it's august, do you know how many trainings you had this year?
mcc: hard to tell, but i think around 350
sn: have you ever felt tired and exhausted of this kind of life? and considering to quit the whole thing?
mcc: oh, yes sometimes it's really hard, but to quit - could this be a good call... to quit the trainings means to stop the fighting, because you can't fight without being 100% fit and ready
sn: what advise would you give to your son if he decides to practice mma one day?
mcc: if he'll have such desire - we'll work together, but i'll rather that he choose something else, this is so hard and very dangerous way.
sn: what is more harder for you to practice: wrestling or boxing?
mcc: there're both hard, but wrestling takes more energy from you
sn: on one occasion we have a privilege to talk with japanese ambassador to croatia, his excellency tetsuhisa shirakawa and he told us that before he left for croatia, japanese prime-minister mr. koizumi told him: "you're going to the crocop-land", what do you thing about that?
mcc: it means a lot to me, it's nice to hear. japanese prime-minster is an extraordinary gentleman, and as he respects me - i highly respect him too and his country. the country in which i've become what i am.
sn: how do you comment recent incidents in sukošan, when there were flyers in which you and you manager lučić were put in the same context with serbian terrorists, spies, serbian turbo-folk singers, and criminals?
mc: i lauged when i heard it, but with deep disgust, because it's unbelievable for me that someone could be so low, so malicious, so dirty in the 21st century. but this wasn't the first incident with a similar material, it comes about 2 times per year and under attack are usually: zvonimir lučić, orsat zovko and me. and behind this is one old bitter man, i know that a bright man could go crazy, but loony can't go smart. so, branko cut the booze and leave me alone
sn: tell us something about you preparations for the gp*
mcc: i'll stay in zagreb untill august 20th, then i'm going to pula for 2 weeks where i'm gonna train under my friend enver šeparović, a specialist for physical conditon who works under instructions of professor igor jukić. and also in pula i'll train with leo komšić's boys; velentino venturini, igor jurković and tomica paladin, these guys are excellent sparring partners, and in front of them is a big fighting career.
sn: who'll will join you on your trip to japan this time?
mcc: my regular crew plus professor jukić and dr.kapulica
sn: your fight with yoshida was the most mature so far?
mcc: some people looked a quite opposite on that fight, here in croatia we have so many "experts". people easly forget who is yoshida, and he is a great fighter and former olympic gold-medalist, and he wore a gi - which prevented my mid-kicks. also i had some problems with my left leg, so i badly needed a good strategy - which i executed well and finish the fight.
sn: wanderlei silva is your next opponent?
mcc: i don't like him, he is the only fighter in pride i really don't like. he's weird and doesn't have a character, but he's great fighter. still - i'll beat him.
sn: who would you prefere in the final fight?
mcc: it doesnt' matter, maybe i'd like minotauro better than barnett, no matter the fact i beat barnett twice. barnett vs minotauro - it's gonna be a great fight; barnett is in great form lately, and minotauro is minotauro.
sn: now pride organization and you are in good relations again, but what if you and them didn't found satisfying solution?
mcc: i'd stay out of gp
sn: are there any alternatives for you?
mcc: yes - usa, from where i'm getting offers constantly. of course - i'm pride fighter, i'm aware from where i've got the name and the glory, which doesn't mean that i'm not go fight in usa after all.

Sukošan Fight Night Report
fights:
IGOR POKRAJAC (CROCOP TEAM) vs LUKASZ JURKOWSKI JURAS (Poljska)
winner: Pokrajac via judge decision
This was the fight of the night not just because it was announced as one. Pokrajac payback against Juras was worthy of watching it. And for the first time I may say that I was impressed by Pokrajac performance in a positive way.
SAŠA MUČNJAK (CROCOP TEAM) vs BRANISLAV ZEMAN (Brazilian Combat Team Slovakia)
winner: Mučnjak via 1st rd TKO
Mučnjak made a really nice come-back in this one, after Zeman domination which ended with him stayed out of gas, Mučnjak took over the fight. A good win for Saša
HRVOJE KIŠIČEK (CROCOP TEAM) vs MARO PERAK (UFC "Gladiator" Dubrovnik)
winner: Perak via 2nd rd armbar
As far as I know this fight was mma debut for Kišiček, who is a talented kickboxer, and therefore he couldn't had tougher task than to face a former croatian judo champion Maro Perak, and Kišiček made just a one little mistake, and he was punished. But it's fair to say that Perak deserved this one, he was better fighter from the 1st second of the fight, and he proved that he needs to fight on a higher level.
MARIO MARIJANOVIĆ (Gracie Barra Mostar) vs IVAN BRKLJAČA (KBK «Croatia» Zadar)
winner: Brkljača via 1st rd TKO
Too bad that early un-neccessary injury ended this fight.
DUŠAN/ILJA SKONDRIČ (Brazilian Combat Team Slovakia) vs DORIAN ILIĆ (Piranya gym)
winner: Skondrić via 1st rd TKO
Ilić showed that he's got a heart, anything else was on Skondric side.
DRAŽEN GLAVAŠ (NOKAUT TEAM) vs MILAN VUKŠIĆ (Megacentar Rijeka)
winner: Vukšić via 2nd rd towel thrown
Vukušić showed more skills and more will than Glavaš, and it seems more condition too - because Glavaš corner decided to re-draw their fighter just before the start of the 2nd round
DANIJEL MRKOCI (KBK "Kutina") vs ALEN BEŠIREVIĆ(ŠABANOVIĆ???) (UFC "Gladiator" Dubrovnik)
winner: Alen via 1st rd guillotine choke
It's very sad to watch former kickboxing prospect and champion Mrkoci ruining his reputation only because he didn't find enough time to work on his ground skills, a deserved win for Alen.
SAŠA VASILIĆ (Zagreb) vs MICHAL STANISLAWSKI (Poljska)
winner: Stanislawski via 1st rd TKO
Nothing much too say; this was one way street. Stanislawski put up a nice performance and gave Vasilić a decent mma-lecture.
K-1 bout
MARKO BENZON (Pitbull) vs NIKOLA PALADA (Terminator)
winner: Benzon via judge decision
A very exciting fight and also a very tied fight which could ended in both directions. In my opinion Benzon won just because he looked better in the ring.
All in all, it was a surprisingly nice event, considering the changes in the fight card and the time & the place of this event.
A little stadium in Sukošan was full of people, and all of us were having a great time watching the fights. Match-ups were good and most of the fights were very excited.
It was a very good night for all mma fans and for promotor of the event Slaven Vujić.
Two thing I'd like to point out though...
- one is positive - referee: Slaven Planinić, once again showed that he knows and he understands the sport, it's a real pleasure to watch the fights when he's in charge.
- and other one is negative - ring: Well, the ring in general looked too small for mma fights, but the ropes were a real disaster, one fighter got injured because of it, and in a few occassions we're just a moment away from a tragedy. A danger of falling out from the ring was a major threat for the fighters, sometimes maybe even more danger than their opponents

Mirko won't fight on the Grand Prix Finals???
Two croatian daily papers Jutarnji list and Večernji list have published that Mirko Cro Cop Filipović won't fight on the Pride FC OWGP finals scheduled for September the 9th.
Filipović said:
- "We haven't closed the deal. They said that I'm too expensive for them, but I just wanna be paid for the risk I'm taking. I feel sad for my fans, but I won't give up of my principles. From next Monday I'll be in Pula on vacations."
Though it seems that Mirko is still opened for further negotiations. Apparently the problem is because Mirko would like to be paid with an extra fee for the final fight if he enters the finals.
