UFC president Dana White has refused to rule out a return to the octagon by Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.
Filipovic was rumored to have been considering retirement after his loss to Junior dos Santos at UFC 103.
“I haven’t talked to Mirko since he left the last fight,” White said. “He’s one of those guys, when he starts thinking about what he wants to do, he’ll call me.
“You get to a certain age where you remember what you used to be able to do, and you can see all the openings. You just can’t pull the trigger. I think that’s where [Filipovic] is at.”
“I like Mirko, and I’ve got a lot of respect for him, especially the way he handled that whole situation when we were leaving Germany,” White said. “Remember when the Japanese tried to pull some [expletive] on me again, and he fixed it? I respected him before that, and I respect him for that.”
