In this case, The Croatian Sensation Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic went Moe Howard on his opponent Mostapha Al-Turk today at UFC 99, poked him in the eye, beat him into a referee stoppage and then lifted his hands in victory.
Pretty good restart for a Pride favorite that came to the UFC and was unceremoniuosly manhandled and was dismissed until today's second chance at redemption, right?
But check this:
UFC President Dana White broke his own rule for the first time in 9 years and gave Cro Cop a one fight deal. He had agreed to the next 2 fights in principle, but wanted to see how Filipovic fared in this fight. He was rewarded by being told after the fight that Cro Cop was leaving the UFC due to signing a 3 fight deal with DREAM.
To be the best, you have to beat the best. If you don't care about being the best, just chase the money.
It's clear which one Cro Cop opted for.
