MMA update:
Zelg against Curtis Stout, Destination Japan: Cro Cop to face Yoshida, Mirenić to sign with Pride FC...
Mirko Cro Cop Filipović has left for Japan, to challenge Hidehiko Yoshida in the 2nd round of Pride FC Open Weight Grand Prix this Saturday 1st of July.
Is this gonna be a real critical countdown for Mirko or just another step to GP belt, on his arrival to Japan, Mirko said:
- "Yoshida is the most popular japanese fighter, and the most expirienced. I'm aware of his judo skills, but I'm ready to win this fight, of course I prefere stand-up fighting, but I will fight on the ground too, if situation puts Yoshida down on the ground I won't give him chance to stand up, cause I'm gonna attack him on the ground."
Mirko apparently is in excellent shape, and his injured leg is doing much better now, and Mirko is feeling fine and he's determined to win this fight.
Critical Countdown fight card
Under Mirko's skirts another croatian fighter will try to find his way to Japan – Damir Mirenić is invited by Pride FC officials to be a guest on the Pride FC OWGP 2nd round, where he will be negotiating his possible deal with Pride FC. Some sources already are speculating that Mirenić will participate on Pride Bushido Tournament in late August. Also some promotors from Russia and Brazil have spotted Mirenić and would like him to participate on their tournaments.
Zelg Galešić will face the biggest challenge so far in his MMA career, on the Cage Rage 17, this Saturday in Wembley Arena, (London/UK) he's gonna fight Curtis Stout of USA.
Comments and analisys are giving Stout better chance for winning cause he's more expirinced and more versatile than Galešić and also much stronger. On the other hand Zelg's good sides are his natural quickness and his pretty decent arsenal of kicks and punches. And like Andrew Garvey of kakutougi.info wrote: "Win or lose, a good performance will boost the Croatian’s career as well as providing the audience with a fight to remember."
It's interesting how Zelg is looking at this fight: - "Stout is a dangerous opponent with a lot of expirience. And well known after his brutal KOs against Gilber and Weir, he's considered as one of the best stand-up fighters in CR. It's gonna be a hard fight for me, but I'm gonna enjoy in every second of it, no matter how this fight will end."
