After a long search, the new combat organization “Dream”, which the Croatian Mirko Filipovic recently joined, has finally announced the name of the opponent that should enter the ring with Cro Cop on March 15, in the Saitama Arena.

The Japanese fighter Yoshihiro Nakao is known to the world as The Kiss Man. He gained that nickname when he was being introduced before a fight with Heath Herring, and kissed the American on the mouth. The American knocked him out and there was no fight. Take a look at how this looked HERE.

- I am happy that I have finally found out the name of my opponent. I respect every fighter that I enter the ring with, including this Japanese citizen. I can hardly wait to return to the ring, and I do not doubt in my victory – said Cro Cop.

The candidates for the match against Mirko were the American Don Frye and the Korean Dong Sik Yoon. However, at the last minute they cancelled their applications and the Japanese organizers decided for this provocateur that has six wins and only one defeat.
