Cro Cop goes back to the operating table

Two months before he'll gets to 'revenge' Overeem, Mirko Cro Cop is once again having injury concerns. His leg remains the problem. He confirmed the new injury in an interview with Nova TV.

"The advice I got from my doctors was that fighting Overeem only two months after my knee operation was a suicide mission. I already had missed the July bout and postponing my September bout was not an option for me. I have only my self to blame."

When asked about his recent form:

"The fear of defeat is major motivation for every fight not necessary wounds or physical pain. It can become an issue when you're on a losing streak ."
