Cro Cop is interested in revenge
“The victory pver Gabriel Gonzaga cheered me up. And as long as I’m happy in the UFC, I hope to continue with the struggle.”
“But there are no guarantees. This is MMA. All are hungry. Everyone wants to take off your head. I’ll be ready. And even if I do not I’ll know that I tried. My fans will say ‘Here is a man who has had an extensive career in Pride, a great career in K-1. He failed in the UFC, but he tried. This is important. So I will raise my children. “
“It’s something I really want to do. It’s something that I owe the sport, and I owe to myself and to overcome some of these guys.”
“Some of them, yes, some of them I do not. Josh Barnett I will not fight, definitely. We fought three times and won it twice. Technically it was three times, but for the first time can be incorrect and count as a victory. “
“He was injured after 30 seconds. We fell out and he injured his shoulder. I was declared the winner, but it was not a victory. But let’s say that we have fought twice and twice I won honestly … There is no point again to fight with him. “
“But Nogueira is definitely there, Roy Nelson and also some other fighters. Junior dos Santos is definitely there. Maybe Overeem.”
