Mirko Cro Cop Suspended Indefinitely Following UFC 103 Loss
In the medical suspensions released by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for Combative Sports, Mirko Cro Cop has been suspended indefinitely following his loss to Junior dos Santos at UFC 103 in Dallas.
Cro Cop was battered by dos Santos in a flurry in the third round until he verbally submitted due to issues seeing. Cro Cop was sent to the hospital after the fight for further evaluation on his eyes.
“He’s got to fly 20 hours to get home,” UFC president Dana White said Saturday. “I’ve got to know he’s OK before he gets on that plane. He took some big shots from a heavy puncher tonight.”
The indefinite suspension means Cro Cop will be cleared to fight pending doctor’s approval.
No other fighter was suspended past Oct. 20.
