Nonsense. Dana's the source of all the world's ills. Posters on Sherdog said so.

When a Org comes out and says you signed with them and it causes controversy with the other Org you were supposed to be signing with but you don't clarify things till a week later what do you call that?

To me thats CroCop being dishonest trying to play the UFC and DREAM off each other but everyone has to decide for themselves.
He said he didn't sign anything 14th of june here are some sources:

Mirko Cro Cop May Still Be with the UFC | Bleacher Report

Mirko: Nisam potpisao ni za Dream ni za UFC - Jutarnji.hr

and fight was a day before.

Here's what went down.

I I'm 100 % sure that Crocop told Dana this:

Mirko: "No I cannot wait 6 months before my next fight, If you do not change my fighting schedule then I'm going to sign elsewhere"

Dana: "Sorry Mirk, I can't do that."

Mirko: "So long Dana"

Dana: "YOU SCREWED ME?!?!?!"


The uf 99 deal was 50-50 for both ufc and mirko so mirko should not owe Dana crap.

That second part he didn't say till almost a week later stirring the pot more.
I am going to call you a hermaphrodite, midget, homosexual every-single-day-for-the-rest-of-your-life. If you don't come on the sherdog forums and contradict my statement everyday to prove you are not a hermaphrodite midget homosexual, then my statement is true.

Like when he told the world Vitor was signed and then denied ever having talked about it?
