UFC and PRIDE veteran Mirko Filipovic returned to Croatia and fought against Ray Sefo under kickboxing rules, in what was billed as Cro Cop's "Final Fight". Here's the video:
Here a brief recap and additional thoughts and analysis from our coverage of the event:
Mirko Filipovic make his Croatian and kickboxing return count today with a unanimous decision win over Ray Sefo in main event of a show dubbed "Final Fight". It clearly was not Cro Cop's final fight, but the marketing ploy seemed to work as a capacity crowd showed up to Arena Zagreb to watch their hero compete in his home country for the first time in 11 years.
The first round was a tad sloppy, which isn't that surprising considering that both guys are past their primes. Cro Cop snapped Sefo's head back with a couple of shots, but Sefo seemed to land the harder punches. Mirko took over in the second, working an inside game with uppercuts and some solid strikes. The third saw a lot of clinching and continual breaks from the referee, but Sefo still played it up with some woos and funny comments to the ref. In the end though, Filipovic took the decision in an okay but unspectacular fight.
