His glory days in Pride may be a distant reflection at this point, but heavyweight legend Mirko Cro Cop is actually on the longest winning streak of his 17-year career.
And Roy Nelson plans to take that away from him on Saturday.
The way Nelson sees it, his 1-2 record inside the Bellator cage won’t matter if he can take out Cro Cop at Bellator 216. Cro Cop has won nine straight bouts dating back to Aug. 2014, including knockout victories over Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal and Gabriel Gonzaga, and the back-to-back wins over Satoshi Ishii that started this unbeaten run.
