Dana White: "Cro Cop" injured but cleared, en route to Indianapolis for UFC 119

ROSEMEAD, Calif. - UFC 119 headliner Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, in fact, did suffer an eye injury, but he's been cleared to fight, and next week's main-event bout with Frank Mir is good to go.


That's the word from UFC president Dana White, who today spoke to MMAjunkie.com about the injury.


On Friday White shot down Croatian news reports that an eye injury might force the heavyweight fighter out of the Sept. 25 headliner and called them "untrue." However, Filipovoc did suffer an injury - at the most inopportune time.
