MMA legend Mirko Cro Cop lost yet another important fight as he was defeated by Junior Dos Santos via verbal submission at 2:00 of the third round at UFC 103 held at The American Airlines Center yesterday. The bout was the co-main event which was headlined by former UFC Middleweight Champions Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort.
The fight started with Dos Santos as the aggressor always standing at the center of the cage forcing Cro Cop to stay up against the cage which resulted to Cro Cop being pinned down and having been fought defensively most of the time. During the second round Dos Santos threw more punches which some landed and rocked Cro Cop. Past the middle of the round Cro Cop accidentally hit Dos Santos to the groin which gave the two some rest and after a minute the fight proceeded with Dos Santos still being the more dominant fighter. At the final round Cro Cop came more aggressive but was caught by several punches which put him in danger. Cro Cop was put up against the cage with Dos Santos throwing punches. A punch to the eye blocked Cro Cop's vision disabling him to continue the fight thus forcing him to submit verbally. Dos Santos won via submission at 2:00 of the final round.
