The following is from an internet chat Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic did with with his fans on a Croatian website (translation by Igor S.):


Question: What is the measurement of your quadriceps?

Cro Cop: Hell, I don't know. I've never measured that, but it is sufficient.

Question: Mirko, how often do you visit Privlaka?

Cro Cop: Every time I can. I am going tomorrow.

Question: Mirko, I read in a newspaper interview, where you said that you are equal with Fedor on the ground. Do you think that you have progressed enough to fight with a Sambo champion on the ground? Actually, he beat Minotauro on the ground, and you lost to the Brazilian. Salute.

Cro Cop: I lost to the Brazilian one and a half years ago. In that period I have progressed sufficiently to fight everyone, including Minotauro, on the ground. Trust me or not.

Question: Is there a possibility to arrange this fight in Zagreb?

Cro Cop: Well, I am planning to organize a tournament this year, in which I will participate also.

Question: Mirko, when will you get a title shot?

Cro Cop: As soon as Fedor signs the contract. Japanese representatives will go this weekend to Russia to try and sign the fight.

Question: Mirko, are things going in Cibalia (soccer club in which Cro Cop plays)?

Cro Cop: So, so. I don't train enough beacuse of my busy schedule.

Question: Why do they call you Zeljko Filipovic?

Cro Cop: Well, I don't know if anybody calls me that, except for the time they mistakenly called me by that name on the Vlahov show.

Question: How much weight can you lift on the bench?

Cro Cop: I have never gone for maximum because I don't need to. But, I can lift 150 kg (330 pounds) for three repetitions.

Question: Do you think that Fedor is scared of a possible fight for the title against you?

Cro Cop: I think he is not afraid. He is too great of a fighter to be afraid of the fight.

Question: Someone said you deceived Mike Bencic (Cro Cop's previus jiu-jitsu trainer)?

Cro Cop: People usually talk nonsense. I don't know in what way he was deceived by me.

Question: That you have not paid the full amount he deserved...

Cro Cop: I don't know what to say about that. Bencic was paid every last cent, and I don't know what he is trying to do by making those comments in the newspapers. Maybe he wants to "thank" me for getting him a chance, through my name and my blood, to fight in PRIDE and to make money. So he tries to return a favor like that. But, by talking like that, he talks about himself, not about me. And I don't want to talk anymore about Mike Bencic. I just want say that if he would like to promote himself in the future, let him do it through his own eventual success.

Question: Do you drink coffee, and have you special nutrition?

Cro Cop: I don't drink coffee, and yes, I have special nutrition.

Question: Dinamo or Hajduk? (Croatia's two most popular soccer clubs)

Cro Cop: Cibalia.

Question: Mirko, what do you think, will you win the fight against Fedor?

Cro Cop: I will.

Question: How many hours a day does your training consist of?

Cro Cop: Depends on the training phase. But I always train two times per day. On an average, at least one and a half hours per training session.

Question: Of all the PRIDE fighters, with who do you have good relations? Do you go to lunch or coffee together?

Cro Cop: We don't have lunch or coffee together. My best pal from PRIDE is (Quinton) Jackson, but With Fedor I always have warm grettings.

Question: Do you watch handball? What did you think of the finals?

Cro Cop: I watched our handball team with pleasure.

Question: Do you know to swin?

Cro Cop: Swimming, yes I do, but swinning I don't.

Question: Who is your favorite Croatian sportsman?

Cro Cop: Goran Ivanisevic and Stipe Drvis.

Question: For how long have you been a member of the anti-terrorism unit in Lucko?

Cro Cop: One and a half years.

Question: Why didn't the Croatian police use your name for promotion, when they could? Why did they fire you from the job?

Cro Cop: I don't know. They didn't fire me, I left by my own accord.

Question: How much will you earn if you beat Fedor?

Cro Cop: Go to the ring, beat him, and you will find out.

Question: Who is your idol?

Cro Cop: I don't have one, but I respect sportsmen.

Question: Do you listen to Hip-Hop music?

Cro Cop: Sometimes, but I prefer 80's music.

Question: It would be very nice and original if one of your fights can take place in the arena in Pula. What do you think about that?

Cro Cop: It is high unlikely.

Question: Just to say, to all of those people who are surprised by your striking ability, that you were an amateur boxing champ and K-1 fighter. Now in PRIDE they are surprised when you finish your fight with boxing. You are the best boxer In PRIDE, that's for sure.

Cro Cop: Well I am mistaken by them just because I am alive.

Question: When you said about the possibility of fighting Minotauro in Zagreb, where would that fight take place?

Cro Cop: Maybe Dom sportova hall, or Maksimir stadium.

Question: In which part of the fight is Fedor better than you?

Cro Cop: Fedor has the best ground and pound on earth. It is incredible how powerful his strikes are on the ground. But unlike Fedor, I am not planning to be in that postiton too long.

Question: Are you bothered by your so called, popularity?

Cro Cop: I am not bothered by my so called popularity.

Question: Would you be able to live in Japan?

Cro Cop: Well, some people live in jails, so I could live anywhere. Japan is a very beautiful country, but Croatia is the only place I want to live in.

Question: Did you fight a lot in school as a young boy?

Cro Cop: Actually, I didn't.

Question: Which team will be the Croatian soccer league champion?

Cro Cop: If I was a visionary, I wouldn't be fighting now. Instead, I would be making money by betting.

Question: Did someone ever offer you a bribe?

Cro Cop: Never.

Question: Who is stronger, Superman or Batman?

Cro Cop: You probably wanted to be funny. To tell you the truth, you are not.

Question: Would you pose naked for the appropriate money?

Cro Cop: Depends on the money.

Question: Or make some tatoo on your body?

Cro Cop: Depends on the money, too.

Question: What do you think about cheating (women)?

Cro Cop: I don't have an opinion.

Question: What was thr problem between you and Branko Cikatic? He allegedly threatened to kill you?

Cro Cop: That is finished story, and I don't want to talk about that.

Question: If you saw a general, what would you do?

Cro Cop: I would salute him.

Question: Do people flatter you because of your size and strength?

Cro Cop: I am not so big.

Question: Are you a pizza master?

Cro Cop: Hey boy, I think you missed the real guest? Naked chef acts are on the weekend.
