A recent announcement from Mirko Cro Cop's blog has stated that the Heavyweight will return to
the Octagon in June at UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany against Mustapha
al-Turk.
“I decided to fight in the UFC again, because of the stronger
competition in the heavyweight division. My next opponent will be
Mustapha Al-Turk. I didn’t do well in my first three appearances - I
wasn’t myself. By returning to the cage I want to prove that I can
still fight at highest level, no matter when or where. It’s hard to
talk about concrete plans, but I would really like to fight at least
three times this year. I wish to fight against quality opponents and to
fight my way up to a title shot but for now, I’ll focus only on my next
fight and after that we’ll see what’s going to be on the menu next. I
want to say thank you Mr. Dana White for your interest and for an
invitation back to the UFC. I owe you a lot from our first deal, and
I’ll make it up to you.”
