" Sooner or later the time comes when a man has to think on the health. I had a really long and great career and I believe I left a deep mark in the martial arts, in a free fight and in K-1 and I have no regrets. Thanks to everyone who followed me and supported me, but for me there remains beautiful memories."

This comes right after Cro Cop said he tried to get Reebok to make him some shorts with his trademark checker pattern. no logo, no advertisement. just something that he is known for and honestly something that would have made the fight kit not suck so bad. but no, they turned him down on the idea.

This sucks. I'm going to miss Mirko fighting. Primarily for this great entrance:
Still, I'm glad he stood up to Reebok and didn't put up with that ********. Guy's a ******* legend and yet Reebok went full on corporate and couldn't ******* capitulate ONE ******* TIME about a design change to their stupid kit so Cro Cop could show his national pride for his country (which would be much better than the stupid nationalism gear campaign).
