Wife our MMA master Klaudia Filipoviæ in discussion with Index has given her comments of his husband fight and future plans.

Klaudia always watches her husband’s fights live, because she says, she always wants to know what has happened.

“Of course I am happy. Mirko has won, and besides that he didn’t get beaten too much, and than I am happiest. I always watch his fights live because simply I have to immediately know how he did.” – thinks wife of Mirko Filipoviæ.

I never let my son to watch Mirko’s fight, because clearly he is too young but this fight was exception.

“I must admit that he never watches Mirko’s fights, but this time I have made an exception so he did watch the recording. I thought the fight wasn’t too ugly. He is still young so there is time for it” – said Mrs. Filipoviæ

And last Klaudia Filipoviæ has added: “Mirko has promised to me that he will stop fighting in two years. I sincerely hope for it, but you know how old saying goes: promises aren’t always kept, and only fools should take them as definite.

Interesting, I think if Mirko ever has his rematch with Fedor (which he wants more then anything it seems) by the time he retires he could just be finishing up his contract with UFC. If I was UFC i'd go out of my way and do anything to get Fedor Vs Mirko 2 on there grounds because of that, losing Mirkos retirment fight to PRIDE along with Fedor Vs Mirko would be huge for UFC to miss imo. Even if it means working with PRIDE to get it done.

From the little I've watched of Mirko, they should be a high price to keep him...

Hah! That's a real joke! If you'll remember, Mirko signed with UFC directly after he won the OWGP. If he really wanted Fedor, he wouldn't signed on for PFC Shockwave in December. They were giving Fedor to him on New Year's Eve. Instead, Mirko took the UFC money and ran.

There's obviously something Mirko wanted more than a rematch with Fedor....$$$

Not exactly true, Mirko was running out of things to do in PRIDE and his rematch with Fedor kept being put on hold for other things. Once Fedor Vs Monson was somewhat confirmed that ment that Mirko would have to wait until almost July to get another shot. So to keep himself busy with till then he moved to the UFC where he plans to fight almost every 2-3 shows so he can

1. Win the UFC heavyweight title

2. Defend it agaisnt Fedor at PRIDE NYE Shockwave

and possibly to keep him self fincial set because he dosnt have that many years left in him lol But the point is if UFC dosnt set up Mirko Vs Fedor by NYE, Mirko will most likely leave the UFC to go back to PRIDE to face Fedor one last time.

Mirko talks of retirement all the time. Personally I think Dana White would be smart to put on a show in Russia, because Fedor And Alex can both fight in Russia for other promotions while under contract to Pride I believe. SO do Fedro Cro Cop 2 and then let little brother Alex beat the hell out of Big Tim.

Klaudija Filipovic: Mirko Has Promised He Will Retire In Two Years.

Discuss Mixed Martial Arts fighters here from Fedor Emelianenko to Sean Sherk or maybe you would like to discuss upcoming events from organizations such as UFC, Pride or K-1.
