During a Japanese press conference held yesterday, Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic officially announced that he has left the UFC and now signed on with the new DREAM organization."Cro Cop", has failed to impress many since his arrival in UFC.

Following on from some four consecutive wins in PRIDE many expected "Cro Cop" to have a huge inpact in the UFC. Sadly this wasn't the case, although"Cro Cop" did defeat Eddie Sanchez in the first round of his UFC debut, Mirko since went on to suffer back-to-back losses against Gabriel Gonzaga and Cheick Kongo.

DREAM 1 on March 15th will mark "Cro Cop's" debut against a yet to be known opponent. The event will take place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitma, Japan.
