IS THIS WHY CROCOP HAS BEEN DOING SO BAD?
« on: September 28, 2007, 06:03:40 PM »
*CRO COP Went On Surgery!!!**


Mirko Filipovic was yesterday quite stuned, but it was not because of some punch, it was because of anesthetic.

Mirko decided to go to nose surgery. Doc. dr. sc. Vladimir Bedeković was surgeon who operated Mirkos septum deviation -- this deviation was obstructing intake of oxygen.

Mirko was excellent prepared for every fight, but beacuse of that problem he stayed out of breath in 2nd and 3rd specially.

"When I came to examination and when he saw how closed is my nose canal, surgeon was shocked, he could not belive that i could be top-line in athlete with that deviation.
It seems that this problem took me 50 % stamina in fights" -said Mirko before he went on surgery.

Fact that he decided to operate his nose tells as that Mitko wants to continue his career with new enthusiasm.

He could be making excuses, but I don't think so. He has said he will retire from fighting when his UFC contract is up. The UFC has paid him enough to retire. Win or lose a fight, the guy is banking. In Croatian dollars, his contract is worth 6 million dollars. He has already collected 3 million.

He just doesn't seem to care anymore. Look at Rua he lost to Griffin and than it cmes up that he had a bad knee and it troubled his training. All BS so that the fans don't lose interest in them. At least that's what it seems like. And I'm a Mirko fan but his last fight was like Arloski vs Silvia afraid to get hit. IMO
