Former Pride FC grand prix winner Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic recently spoke with Vecernji, a Croatian news outlet, about his new training camp in Amsterdam, Holland.

“The problem before was that I was sparring with friends who were doing me a favour by being there and so I could not go so hard on them, looking for the knockout,” said Cro Cop, according to a translation by Fighters Only. “In Amsterdam, it was a struggle of life or death. I was looking for the knockout and so was my opponent. In future I will spending a full month in Amsterdam.”

Cro Cop is next scheduled to fight Ben Rothwell at UFC 110 on February 21 in Sydney, Australia.
