Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic returns; UFC officially announces UFC 99 bout with Mostapha Al-Turk
by Dann Stupp on Jun 01, 2009 at 12:15 pm ET
As expected following recent comments by the heavyweight fighter, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (24-6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) will return to the UFC and fight Mostapha Al-Turk (6-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at next weekend's UFC 99 event, the UFC today announced.
Filipovic, who replaces UFC newcomer Todd Duffee on the card, returns to the UFC after a three-fight stint in Japan.
The Filipovic vs. Al-Turk match-up has been added to the televised main card, which as of Monday morning, now features six televised bouts (rather than the usual five).
UFC 99 takes place June 13 at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany. The pay-per-view show, which is the UFC's first event in Germany, features a main event of Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva at a catch-weight of 195 pounds.
Filipovic, once considered one of the world's top two or three heavyweights, left the UFC following back-to-back losses to Gabriel Gonzaga and Cheick Kongo. In March 2008, he defeated an over-matched Tatsuya Mizuno via 56-second TKO at DREAM.1. Six months later he fought rival Alistair Overeem at DREAM.6. Overeem controlled the fight, but the bout was ruled a no-contest when he delivered an illegal knee to Filipovic's groin.
Three months later, in his most recent bout, Filipovic defeated 7-foot-2 kickboxer Hong Man Choi via first-round TKO.
Last month the Croatian fighter announced he was returning to the UFC following the year-long stint in Japan.
He'll now face Al-Turk, a Cage Rage veteran who suffered a first-round TKO loss to Kongo during his octagon debut at UFC 92. Prior to the loss, Al-Turk went 6-1 with six first-round stoppages to earn a UFC contract.
The full UFC 99 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (televised)
* Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva
* Cheick Kongo vs. Cain Velasquez
* Ben Saunders vs. Mike Swick
* Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy
* Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno
* Mustapha al Turk vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic
PRELIMINARY CARD (un-televised)
* Justin Buchholz vs. Terry Etim
* Dale Hartt vs. Denis Siver
* Peter Sobotta vs. Paul Taylor
* Roli Delgado vs. Paul Kelly
* Denis Stojnic vs. Stefan Struve
* John Hathaway vs. Rick Story

* Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva
* Ben Saunders vs. Mike Swick
* Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno Hey Lyoto. I initially thought the same thing. But now I'm really excited to see this card. Should be a few good tough fights, many of them were tricky to pick the winner.ctc wrote: Really looking forward for the Ben Saunders vs. Mike Swick fight as well, Really like Ben's groundgame. Another 24 hours and I'll be off to germany, can't hardly wait to see my first live UFC event! Cool. I was supposed to go to the states in May but my trip got canceled due to the Swine Flu so I will probably head over in October and hopefully see Machida vs Rua. Let us know how it was and anything that would be handy to know about the event. I.e What camera's you are allowed to take in etc.
Cheers,
