Live live Erslan hunts the first Croat victory at the UFC after Cro Cop: enters the cage around two after midnight
A fighter from Zagreb American Top Team performing in Montreal on UFC 315 The event, the other hand, is a dangerous New Zealander. Recall that Erslan lost to the strongest cage of the world in the strongest cage Ions Cutelabe (31, 19-10) with a divided judicial decision, and now he is waiting for a match against undefeated Navaja Stirling (27, 6-0).
– Now everyone knows about this injury, but that’s not the reason for the defeat. I could have done a lot better to fight, he used all my mistakes and deservedly won – he looked back at the last match and continued on the next opponent:
– It is really hard for him to find a ‘hole’ in Stojca, so we will need to be smarter, wiser than him and thus beat him. To beat him, I do not doubt myself and I believe I will leave the cage with my hand raised. I must not lose this match and I must not allow myself – Ivan is clear.
Wherever he has fought so far, he has had a lot of support for ‘reptiles’. Although his opponent has long posted nothing on social networks, as soon as he did it, he ran into the canonad of comments.
– They asked me at the UFC, which is a fora with lizards who appear massively in the comments when I fight. I explained to them, these are the fans of the incubator undercatters in Croatia and when I fight, they are like one and cheer for me. In that group, I went through many jokes with them, for me there are many good things. It’s the story behind the lizard, it’s a group of ‘crazy’ MMA fans from Croatia – Erslan is clear.
The last Croatian fighter who won the UFC is legendary Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic (50) who did it 10 years ago in Poland against Gabriela Gonzage. Now Ivan has the opportunity to become the first Croatian fighter after Mirko with the victory in the strongest world cage.
– It’s a big motivation, I hope I’ll be able to cheer the fans. The UFC 315 is a real right place to show the audience what I am able to do – Erslan concluded.
