just got confirmation on it from a source very close 😉 to the situation
bellator made CC and offer, the UFC *somehow* heard about it (…”hi, lorenzo? yeah its mirko…”…) and they went $$$ and signed him back up. They dont want to give Scott Coker and Spike any ammo at all.
Mirko Cro Cop fought in the UFC from 2009 to 2011 recording a 2-4 overall record. Since leaving he has gone 3-4 fighting in Japanese organizations.
