“I had it on my mind that I will fight in Cologne, because UFC is comin...” — Mirko Cro Cop Quote

“I had it on my mind that I will fight in Cologne, because UFC is coming to Germany, where the biggest and largest Croatian community lives there. It was my big, big, big wish to participate. Even my doctor didn't believe I will make it, but I did.”

“The UFC was the black spot in my career and my life.”

“I'd most prefer to be a free agent and fight up to six times a year, but that is unlikely.”

“I think you can tell the difference between 'swagger' and real confidence immediately. You can smell it, like bad body spray versus nice cologne.”

“Cologne was my big team, my favourite team. I trained one week in Cologne, and they asked me to sign for Cologne. At 17 or 18, the coach asked me to go the first-team training ground. I was lucky to have that coach.”

“I love a good goatee. I'm actually obsessed with goatees. I do like my men smooth, though. I like him to smell really good, so a great cologne is always hot.”
