According to
Nokaut, Mirko Cro Cop will be fighting Jerome LeBanner this coming July.
It appears that LeBanner will be facing Semmy Schilt in a K1 tournament on the 29th June, thus giving him enough time to prepare for his fight with Cro Cop.
Apart from suffering a recent minor leg injury during training, Cro Cop has been training consistently in his preparation for a potential fight with the big southpaw LeBanner. Although relatively new to MMA, Lebanner has established a 3-1 record, and his long career in K1 ensures that he brings a world class striking pedigree to MMA.
