Cro Cop: Athletic commission should sanction Roy Nelson

In latest interview for Croatian TV, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic talked about his upcoming fight against Roy “Big Country” Nelson. Asked about Roy Nelson’s beard, he said that Athletic commission should sanction Roy Nelson because of his long beard.

 “… in the clinch or in the fight on the ground, he is pushing his beard to a opponent face, i think this is unsportsmanlike and i think Athletic commission should not allow a fighter with beard like him to fight.” 

Cro Cop also said, that he is better condition than in 2011 when they fought last time, he is injury free and very ready for Roy Nelson.
