Fabricio Werdum about Cro Cop: he teared my muscle

Fabricio Werdum talks about his time when he was living and training with Mirko “Cro Cop” in Croatia: His kick was so strong, it teared my muscle.

For those who don’t know, Fabricio Werdum spent 2,5 years (2003-2005) living and training in Croatia with Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic teaching him jiu-jitsu and preparing him for Pride fights.
In a podcast, together with Wanderlei Silva, he told a story when he got Cro Cop mad so he kicked him in sparing and teared his muscle.

Cro Cop had early morning trainigs at 6:00 AM and Fabricio was not happy about it because he was partying night before. So he mounted Cro Cop and landed couple of punches in sparing session. Cro Cop was not so happy about it.
When it was time to switch the training partners, Cro Cop told Fabricio to stay in the cage and in one exchange he leg-kicked him over the pads and teared his muscle.
