Well , maybe not the first time...but , here's what he had to say about crocop. Im not saying that Ive ever been at the level of a Mirko Cro Cop or any of these guys, but I used to fight. You get to a certain age where you remember what you used to be able to do, and you can see all the openings. You just cant pull the trigger. I think thats where hes at Junior Dos Santos is a young, hungry, explosive, nasty heavyweight, and Mirko Cro Cop went three hard rounds with him. Listen, we all get older. I could see it It happens to the best of us. It takes nothing away from who he is or what hes accomplished. We just all get old I dont know [about his future]; Ive got to talk to him. Im pretty sure that he would say that to me right now, anyway. Mirko and I have always had a pretty good relationship. Well see what happens. source & video http://www.mmaconvert.com/2009/09/20/ufc-103-post-fight-dana-talks-cro-cop-and-vitor-belfort/
Doesn't Crocop have one more fight with the UFC? Perhaps a Couture fight could provide a fitting farewell.
I'd prefer they give him a bum to blow away and say good bye. Give him someone tough but will get battered.
