MIRKO FILIPOVIC has decided to hang up his gloves following his UFC 103 defeat to Junior Dos Santos.

The mixed martial arts legend — once regarded as the most feared striker on the planet — called time on his career after admitting he no longer has the desire to continue fighting.

Nokaut.com was able to exclusively confirm the news earlier today.

Said Cro Cop; "I have no motivation left and it's time to leave. Thank you all for supporting me."

He's a great fighter ... but he should fight at 205 instead of heavyweight, he's not big enough for that division !

So Long CroCop

Happy fishing CroCop! Too bad you couldn't make it back to the top, and knew when it was time to call it quits. I glad you still care about winning.

Fedor is not the best of all time
written by FEDOR NOT, September 26, 2009

He fights chumps and has beens. hasn't had a meaningful fight since he fought CroCop 5 years ago and look where Cro Cop is now. Name a meaningful fight that Fedor has had in the past 5 years? Arlovski? Sylvia? HAS BEENS
