So now on the UG there's some people posting croation articles in whihc Cro Cop apparently says this is not true.

the plot thickens

WTF?

I would assume if Dana White said he was no longer with the UFC after 1 fight, he's no longer with the UFC...

I wonder if he was somehow kicked out rather than bolted for DREAM...? I'd feel better about it if I can blame Dana White for it, honestly.

I think this was a whole translation issue

Mirko
"Dana tonight I filled Dreams"

Dana
"What! you're going to Dream you fucker!"

Just found this on another site, THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED, but here ya go:

UPDATE: CRO COP TALKS!!

Mirko: I did not even signed for the Dream or the UFC


I'm not clear why the White believes on rumors instead of talking with me. I was hoping that we will talk about the continuation of cooperation, because the only contentious item for a long period between performances. I do not want to sit for months at home and wait for that someone called me to fight. However, I am grateful for the opportunity Whiteu in Cologne and in spite of his heavy words, I do not see reason to not prolonge agreement - explained Mirko after returning from Germany.

Thank you. I was about to post this myself.

Now I'm just confused.

STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEART, MIRKO!

God.

I'm probably the biggest Cro Cop nuthugger on this entire forum. I would follow the man off a cliff. Let me tell you, this is like such a heartbreakingly fucked up things. Dan Iole is a shill for the UFC, but still, I don't know. I've not read any other articles about it. I love Cro Cop. I hate him for this, but if he showed up again, I would still be rooting for him. I will root for him even if he loses every single one of his fights from this point on. I don't care. I would still say that he'll hold the title someday.

I feel like the little 6 year old who meets his favorite baseball player only to find out that he's an asshole who shoots heroin and fucks prostitutes with a strap-on.

I wanna see Mirko kickbox again. He's great at that...really fucking fearsome. I just didn't get the same, seeing him on his back. Let that man stand and bang (drty jk here)

leave manny out of this..oh wait...sorry, had to throw that in for the Sox fans out there.

"I don’t know why White listened to the roumors instead of talking to me. I hoped that we will talk about a continuing of our collaboration, because the only obstacle was the long period between two fights that has been offered to me. I don’t want to sit at home so long and waiting that someone calls me for a figh. However, I am grateful to Dana White for an opportunity to fight in Cologne and despite his harsh words, I don’t see the reason that we don’t prolong the contract – explained Mirko after returning from Germany.http://www.mmascraps.net/2009/06/mirko-crocop-denies-signing-with-dream.html


I laugh at those idiots who called Mirko names, because of Dana's comments :P

Wasn't because of what Dana White said. I just happened to agree with him when I thought Mirko had truly left. I was pissed off because I thought Mirko had pulled a one-and-done after promising a title run.

Can we get this straightened out and CroCop back in the UFC please?

If this is just bullshidt DREAM assholes trying to make Dana not want Cro Cop in the UFC anymore, then I will be relieved beyond relief.

Personally, I think ninja are responsible. For all of it. ;)

Am I the only one here happy that Dana/Zuffa might be getting a taste of his own medicine?

No, but personally I'm more pissed about the fan betrayal than I am happy about Dana getting some comeuppance.
