Mirko Cro Cop Slams the ‘Disrespectful’ Roy Nelson Ahead of Rematch

Bellator MMA fighter Roy Nelson appears to have angered former UFC and Pride FC fighter Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic for suggesting he will be using “special supplements” for their scheduled rematch at Bellator 200. You can read the comments Cro Cop posted on his Facebook page below.

Roy Nelson and Cro Cop previously fought at UFC 137 in October 2011. Nelson won the fight by knockout in the third round. The 43-year-old Cro Cop is going into his fight with Nelson on an eight-fight winning streak after returning to MMA in 2016.

Nelson last fought at Bellator 194 last month, losing to Matt Mitrione by majority decision for the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix.

Bellator 200 is set for May 25 at the The SSE Arena, Wembley in London, England.

“Dear Roy Nelson, you don’t have to worry that i’m using any ‘special supplements’ as you claim. The only ‘special supplements’ I’m using is 2 hard and bloody trainings per day, five days a week. And I will be tested, like all others, during preparations for the fight and before and right after the fight. So you can be calm.and start thinking of some good excuse after I beat up your fat disrespectful ass, you have enough time to May 25. And do me a favour please, and shave that disgusting beard, look like professional fighter and show respect to your opponent. Good luck!”
