Mirko Filipović (born on September 10, 1974), often billed as Mirko Cro Cop, is a Croatian kickboxer turned mixed martial artist. Mirko recently left the PRIDE fighting championships to join the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the Heavyweight class.
Filipović is perhaps best-known for his left high-kicks, the most dangerous weapon in his arsenal; upon impact with the head, numerous opponents have been knocked out instantly.
