Yesterday we received a phone call from Japan. On the other side of the line we heard a familliar voice.
Slaven: Hi Mirko! What's up?
Mirko: Nothing much. Doing some commercial in Tokyo, can't wait to go back home.
Slaven: It seems you kicked Coleman's ass?
Mirko: He also said that, so it must be true then (laughing). It was a very good fight for me and I respect Coleman for steping into the ring and for his statements after the fight.
Slaven: You had no problems with Coleman's takedowns. Your sprawls was really great.
Mirko: I knew he was about to shoot for a takedown. He was unable to take me down and he looked frustrated.
I think he knew at that moment that he was going to loose.
Slaven: People in Croatia had a chance to watch your fight live on Nov@TV?
Mirko: Yes, I'm very pleased with the outcome and I can confirm that Nov@TV will be airing my fights exclusively. It's a good thing for Croatian people, Nov@TV and me.
Slaven: So, what's going on with a title fight?
Mirko: Only one thing is for sure - I'll fight for a title in June. I won't fight until June, I'll take some time to relax and then I'll resume my trainings.
Slaven: It seems Fedor isn't defending his title?
Mirko: I can't understand why he keeps ducking me. I don't have a personal issue with Fedor, I respect him for he is a great fighter and a champion. This is the second time that he's faced with my challenge and he's not willing to accept it. I earned my chance to fight for the title and I will fight.
Slaven: So you could be fighting against Nogueira again?
Mirko: It's possible. It's perfectly clear that PRIDE will take the belt from Fedor if he's not going to defend it. I would prefer getting the belt from the hands of the champion, I was really looking forward to fight vs Fedor.
Slaven: Fabricio did a nice job in his PRIDE debut?
Mirko: Yes, Fabricio submitted Tom as I expected. He's a true master of the ground game.
Slaven: OK, when are you coming back to Croatia?
Mirko: Most likely on Friday. Can't wait to meet my familly and friends.
Slaven: Your boys are fighting in Karlovac on 11th March. We'll see you in their corners right?
Mirko: You got that right! I'll lead them and I 'm happy to be the part of Nokaut's show.
Slaven: Some of them are matched with a tough opponents, like Domagoj Ostojic who's fighting Badr Hari of Holland.
Mirko: 3 fights and 3 wins for Cro Cop Team, we're not taking any less then that.
See you soon!

Dus nog geen Fedor vs Crocop.... jammer dat Fedor nog twijfelt en nog geen vervolg contract heeft..... En Mirco blijft me verbazen en denk wel dat ie binnenkort champ word, want zoals tegen Coleman had ik totaal niet verwacht... wat een Takedown defense...
