Mirko Filipovic`s manoeuvre has succeeded, he will stay with the UFC organisation, under the terms which suit him most! This means more fights, which means more money and more chances of retiring with the most valuable champion belt which two free fights offer at the moment.

Mirko Filipovic Tricks UFC, Goes to DREAM

They showed how much they wanted Cro Cop in the UFC cage, because owner Lorenzo Fertitta, otherwise a billionaire, personally arrived in Croatia to talk to Mirko and offered him a new contract, under the conditions which favour him more.

Of course, the Croatian fighter took the deal. Fertitta confirmed this in a conversation for the Las Vegas Sun, saying that everything has been arranged and that Mirko Filipovic would be fighting at least three times in his organisation. The first fight is scheduled for September 19 against Brazilian Junior Dos Santos.

The fight will take place in Dallas and if the Croatian fighter wants to the everything by the book, he might be fighting for the coveted belt in the second fight already. This would be the pinnacle of his career and he would be able to leave this sport behind.

Mixed martial arts fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, a former light heavyweight champion of the PRIDE fighting championship and UFC, confirmed that he'll be playing B.A. Baracus in the upcoming "A-Team" movie. That job led him to retire from fighting. His first role will be as BA Baracus in the film version of the TV show, The A Team. (Pressed for comment, Jackson didn't say he necessarily pitied the fool, but tries to sympathize.) I pity the fool! He racked up an impressive knockout of Chuck Liddell while in the UFC, and later lost his title on decision to Forrest Griffin. His professional MMA record was 30 – 7. As Rampage Jackson retires, hopefully his acting career works out and he doesn't have to find people with money to lend.
