Cro Cop says his next fight is vs. Anthony Hamilton at UFC Fight Night in South Korea

UFC heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop announced earlier in the week that he was going to return to action on November 28th in South Korea, and now we know who he'll face next. In a status update published on his Facebook page, Cro Cop confirmed his next opponent will be Anthony Hamilton:

Hamilton (14-4) is 2-2 inside the Octagon, but he did come away with a win in his last fight against Daniel Omielanczuk in Poland. His other fights were a win vs. Ruan Potts, and stoppage losses vs. Todd Duffee and Oleksiy Oliynyk. He was scheduled to face Derrick Lewis at UFC 192, but was pulled from the event presumably to take this fight instead.

Cro Cop (31-11-2, 1 NC) returned to the UFC in dramatic fashion when he rallied from a slow start to TKO Gabriel Gonzaga in the UFC Fight Night main event in Krakow in April. He got revenge on the man who famously KO'd him with a head kick and derailed his title hopes eight years ago. Since coming out of retirement, Cro Cop has won 4 of his last 5, including a pair of wins against Satoshi Ishii in Japan.

The UFC Fight Night: Seoul card is expected to stream live on Fight Pass, with a reported but not officially confirmed welterweight main event between Ben Henderson and Thiago Alves.
