UFC 119
UFC 119: Mir vs. Cro Cop is to be held on September 25, 2010 at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The event will be the first that the UFC has hosted in Indiana.
This event will feature the UFC debut of PRIDE and K-1 veteran, Mark Hunt who holds wins over MMA legends Mirko Filipović and Wanderlei Silva.
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (27-7-2 MMA, 4-3 UFC) replaces an injured Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (32-6-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and now meets Frank Mir (13-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) in the headliner of next month's UFC 119 event, according to a report from "Fighters Only."
Mir and Nogueira were slated to rematch at UFC 119. Mir, of course, won his first meeting with Nogueira with an impressive second-round knockout at UFC 92 in December 2008. Only after the fight did we learn that Nogueira was slowed by staph-infection recovery and a knee injury. Still, Nogueira praised his opponent's performance and said he was surprised by Mir's noticeably improved striking skills.
