Here it is.. Cro Cop Story, an awesome personal look into the life of Mirko Filipović, one of the most infamous K-1/Pride fighters of all time. This special was featured in Croatia on local television sometime in the early 2000's. It was ripped and released online with English subtitles. A few years ago, I went through the translation and edited/fixed many of the subtitles which had structuring issues, timing issues, etc. It isn't perfect, but it's a step above the prior release. Finally got around to uploading my re-edit, so here it is. Enjoy! WARRRRRR!
Mirko Filipović (Croatian pronunciation: [mîrko fǐːlipɔːʋitɕ]; born September 10, 1974) is a Croatian heavyweight mixed martial artist, retired kickboxer, boxer, politician, and law enforcement officer. ilipović is the former 2006 Pride World Grand Prix Open-Weight Champion and the former K-1 World Grand Prix Champion becoming the second fighter in the world to win both an MMA championship and K-1 World Grand Prix Championship, and he is also a former IGF Heavyweight Champion. His nickname, Cro Cop, short for "Croatian Cop", comes from his membership in the Lučko Anti-Terrorist Unit, Croatia's elite Police Special Forces tactical unit. Filipović owed his mixed martial arts success to a combination of elite-level kickboxing and near-impregnable takedown defense, making him one of the most dangerous strikers in history and a prototype for the modern sprawl and brawler. Filipović's signature move was his lightning quick left head-kick, once famously described as "right leg, hospital; left leg, cemetery."[2] Filipović was also a successful amateur boxer. Mirko medalled numerous times in international competition, and was also a member of Croatia's world team when he competed at the 1997 Amateur Boxing World Championships. In his prime he was considered one of the best mixed martial artists, along with Fedor Emelianenko and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira.
