From an interview yesterday. Google translate
Cro Cop
"The Japanese could not offer me an adequate opponent. Bellator offered me Roy Nelson, which I could not refuse. It's my life, my passion. In that match I was injured, I was not ready. Now I feel it will be different".
"Many claim to go for money, but that's not true, I really like it. The same day after surgery I did the training. The worst days are Thursday and Sunday, when I do not train. Other days I work for two training sessions. Those days when I'm not trained are boring to me, they fall very hard. I feel very good when I train. That's my life. Nothing can replace the adrenaline when I enter the ring. No more beautiful things than when a judge lifted my hand after winning. It's a kind of addiction. I'd love to fight for 15, 20 years, but I have oscillations, I feel that. Five days I feel great, but in two days I feel like I'm over the truck. After all, that is nature. But I'm 43, and Delija who is 27 is getting tired before me."
Even though Mirko got revenge over Gonzaga he said....
"I will never get over the Gonzaga fight and never will. Maybe I've underestimated him a bit, there was a lot of that."
Definitely one of the last of a dying breed. The only things that seem to make him happy are training and fighting.

Him and fedor have the same mentality. They definitely arent in it just for the paycheck. Sucks father time is getting everyone in the end.
