Nobuyuki Sakakibara Comments on Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic

In a recent interview, PRIDE President Nobuyuki Sakakibara provided fans with his thoughts on “Cro Cop” signing with the UFC among other things.

Mirko has decided to challenge himself in the UFC in 2007, just as the UFC officially announced today. We support Mirko’s desire to challenge himself and we hope that he will be a success as one of PRIDE’s top fighters. I think Mirko has left some unfinished business in PRIDE as well, such as rematches with Fedor and Nogueira. So, I anticipate Mirko challenging himself once again in PRIDE after he has taken the UFC Championship belt. For our part, we have decided to accept Mirko’s desire and support him as we see him off.
