Cro Cop held his tongue when Chael Sonnen insulted the Croation military.

Fighter’s Only: The UFC is very keen on legitimization and on shedding the old ‘bloodsport’ image that it once had. The UFC top brass must be quite excited at the prospect of having an elected representative of the people on their roster? (The only other fighter I can think of who has achieved similar is Mirko Filipovic, who was elected to the Croatian parliament)

Chael Sonnen: A member of the Croatian parliament couldn’t get his own mother out of a speeding ticket. What are they going to do, lead their 200-strong military into a battle? My hometown could invade Croatia in 15 minutes and while Mirko stands there holding a dart and a spitball, you will understand what he was really elected to.

But when Sonnen said that Pride was fixed, Cro Cop could no longer stay silent. In an interview with the Croatian web site gol.hr, Mirko responds:

“I never trash talk anyone and I never go low on that level. Who is that guy Chael Sonnen? I remember his face. I’m not the first one he has targeted.

“The last time I was at the UFC, I asked a high-ranking high ranked UFC official is (Sonnen) really crazy or just hungry for shameless promotion? The UFC guy told me: He’s both. So that says it all. he is both a crazy person and hungry for promotion.

“I’m not angry or anything at Sonnen, but I will say one thing, I hope nobody gets offended, I dont want to sound disgusting … but you can see on that guy’s face that he is limited and stupid and his IQ is not higher than the size of the shoes he’s wearing. His way of communication, his idiotic rambling and mockery about legends such as Minotauro, Fedor, Wanderlei Silva and me, the people whose fame he will NEVER reach.

“I can’t be mad at him because he doesn’t understand some things, like a little child. To be angry at him would be equal for me being angry at my little son who does funky things around the house all the time.

“He’s child and he doesn’t understand, I cant be angry at him! Saying that fights in Japan were fixed and that me along with other guys like Silva, Minotauro etc. did not win those fights legitimately is an ultimate and absurd nonsense.

“I broke people s bones, tore muscles, ribs, faces, inflicted some serious and heavy damages to my opponents. I got hurt myself too from serious attacks, that is far far away from any fix and it just sounds incredible how this guy that cannot do anything for himself other than babble, cannot do the job in the ring and get attention with his fights.

“It is like saying that antelopes feed on tigers and not vice versa. That is the level of absurdity that this guy brings. It doesn’t make any sense, that is seriously crazy stuff that this guy is talking.

“I can’t believe that somebody would take this guy seriously. He barks like the dog, desperately trying to promote his fights because he doesn’t know any other way, certainly not with his fights. He graduated from college with a degree in bullshitting. So he is not an ordinary idiot, he is an idiot that has diploma in bullshitting.

“This is democracy, any idiot can say whatever they want. I just wish if he had 20 kilos (44 lbs) more, I would kick his ass so hard that the steam would be blowing out of his impolite ass. Or maybe if he comes in Croatia as a tourist one of these days, I hope to find him at the beach and have a little “conversation with him”.

Chael naturally took Cro Cop’s response as an opportunity to stack one more insult on him:

Mirko, ol’ buddy! Strong words from someone who’s been carried out more often than Chinese food!
