My prediction was right on target! Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović scored a 1st round KO over Mustapha Al-turk in the undercard of UFC 99: The Comeback.
It might as well be the main event since the title was named as such because Mirko Cro Cop is returning to the UFC for the first time since his unanimous decision loss to Cheick Kongo at UFC 75 in 2007. And in a truly dominating fashion, he showed the MMA world that he has returned.
UFC 99: The Comeback is scheduled for June 13, 2009 (tomorrow, Sunday here in the Philippines). It will be held for the first time in Germany.
The main event features former UFC middleweight champion Rich “Ace” Franklin and Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva at a catch weight of 195 lbs. However, the event is titled as The Comeback because Mirko “CroCop” Filipović is returning in the UFC for the first time since his unanimous decision loss to Cheick Kongo at UFC 75 in 2007. He will fight Mustapha Al-turk at the heavyweight division.
