That's insane. Why the fuck? I wonder why there's such a disparity between Cali's fines and NV's. . .

Re: UFC 119 Sept 25th
Indiana State Athletic Commission Director Andy Means said Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic has already been examined and initially cleared by a commission-approved physician for his headlining bout against Frank Mir at UFC 119 Saturday at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind.
On Friday, Croatian news site Index.hr reported that the 36-year-old striker had injured his eye during a final training session in his homeland and couldn’t get clearance from a physician to leave the country for the U.S., thus putting the main-event bout in jeopardy.
Filipovic himself eventually confirmed the injury with local press as he boarded his plane for the States. Wearing sunglasses, the former Croatian Parliament member said he wouldn’t withdraw from the bout despite the injury. The 2006 Pride Fighting Championships Open-Weight grand prix champion reportedly arrived in the U.S., on Sunday.
“The UFC informed me this afternoon that Cro Cop saw the ophthalmologist today in Indianapolis and that he was cleared to fight. I anticipate seeing the results soon but all indications are that this is a non-issue,” wrote Means in an email to Sherdog.com on Monday. “He will just have to undergo the same pre-fight physical as the other 21 fighters this weekend before the event.“
Means did not have any additional information regarding the nature of the eye injury, and didn’t answer questions regarding what the pre-fight examination would entail at the weigh-ins on Friday.
Filipovic, who replaced an injured Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira on a month’s notice, scored a third-round submission over fellow kickboxer Patrick Barry at UFC 115 last June in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Filipovic has earned 20 of his 27 career victories via strikes.I heart cockComment

Well Mir needs to quit fighting guys who have the built-in excuse factor. Like Carwin. There's no excuse for that. Mir just got his ass beat.Originally posted by IWS ZakI heart cockComment

Frank Mir would personally like to thank Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic for agreeing to fight him on short notice at UFC 119. Courtesy of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira’s abrupt exit stage left, Mir was afforded the opportunity to kick it with Micky Mouse and Co. for a few days.
Shortly after submitting Pat Barry with a 3rdRound rear-naked choke at UFC 115 in mid-June, Cro Cop accepted the challenge of meeting Mir on September 25th. Moments after that, the Croatian came up with a slew of reasons as to why his last-minute status will adversely affect his performance inside the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
If CC is worried the three-month turnaround isn’t enough time to prepare, no worries because Mir has opted to level the playing field.
“What I did to eliminate that was I went to Disneyland and hung out and I have taken some time off,” Mir sarcastically told Raw Vegas TV. “I have continued not to train as hard as I think I should. That way, by the time we walk into the Octagon, I can say that I am not as prepared either.
“Don’t worry about it Cro Cop, I’m not training that hard. It will be fair. That way he can come out there at less than 100%, I will show up at less than 100% and still go out there and submit him in the 1stRound.”
Understanding you haven’t gone into the 3rdRound in your last nine outings, shouldn’t you still prepare to go extended minutes just in case the battle turns into a war?
“Normally I take fights extremely serious and make sure that I am in good shape, but hearing that he already had his excuses ‘built in’ I didn’t want to not have mine,” Mir facetiously stated.
The Gambling Gods have professed that a sub-par Mir will be a 2.5-to-1 favorite against a sub-par Filipovic. However, they didn’t specify whether it would be via “sub-mission.”

Re: UFC 119 Sept 25th
It is usually a bad sign when fighters have built in excuses before the fight. It really makes you wonder if CC actually believes he can win this fight.Comment
