When talking about who he will be fighting with next, he mentioned DREAM and the UFC, however he ended a answer with:

and possibly another American organization

STRIKEFORCE

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

That would be great. Strikeforce could certainly use another recognizable body to bolster their division, they have a potential money match if they can bring Overeem back in, and if Cro Cop can put together anything close to his form in the 2006 GP, then he can still be among the best Heavyweights in the world.

Can they afford him though.

Could Affliction afford him currently? Cro Cop vs Overeem for the Strikeforce heavyweigt title would be interesting and it may be the fight that Overeem would want to re-sign with Strikeforce.

I don’t care where or when he fights, I just can’t wait to see him fight again!

WAR CRO COP!

love Cro Cop

I am one of his biggest fans but I don’t think he has much left at all. The guy has been through the grinder. Look at his K-1 record and then his MMA record.

crocop vs fedor at next affliction

Fedor talks about wanting to fight crocop again…i have no idea why since he’s a shell of the 2nd baddest man in our solar system that Fedor fought last time.

since barnett openly says he doesnt want to fight fedor, and the only other name i’ve heard for fedor as an opponent is vitor belfort…..i’m pretty confident they are exploring this option.

i dont wanna see this, but guarantee i’ll watch it if they make the fight.

another thing this may alude to is crocop vs overeem rematch in either strike force or affliction….affliction still makes more sense because they love the HW division.

man, pulling all this outta my ass is fun!

Pulling Crocop and Fedor out of your ass has to hurt…you should see a doctor.

:) I wanna smack you back, but can’t. Too funny.

Seeing Cro-Cop fight again in the UFC would be painful. I think he knows that too. So, I’m going to go ahead and guess we will never see him fight in a cage again.
