can anybody here read serbo-croat? apparently mirko is making an announcement today….
might be the death of pride and wondrous joy of the old z-arn.
Where did you hear about that Iain? Can I please have the source?
it’s all over the sherdog messageboards. there was a post on crocop’s website saying he will announce his decision today(sunday) on his future plans. Hinting there is a ufc offer(and another american company) and he’s not sure what the future holds and is not certain on his NYE status.
Thank you…..Check out this guy who’s trying to be funny.

I checked Wrestling Observer. Appearantley they have updates on Cro Cop’s UFC talks and “Why a UFC fighter is likely to face Fedor” plus more on WWE/PRIDE. Hmmmm….
Pretty quiet news weekend :-/ No one but Zach seems to have updated at all! I too am waiting to see what this ‘Sunday announcement’ is supposed to be. I’ve asked about it on Mirko’s ‘community site’ Nokaut, but no word from his cornermen or any of his training partners so far.
Some more news. Thread with sources. apparently a fairly large south korean video game company is investing heavily into pride and wanting the bring the show to Seoul.
Hong Man Choi rumours?
