This just makes the upcoming UFC PPV even more amazing with this match announced. I thought Wanderlei Silva getting the chance to waste Rich Franklin would be my moneys-worth, however THIS match has just been announced...

Cro Cop Returns against Al-Turk on UFC 99 Card in Germany
By Thomas
After weeks of speculation, the news is finally official - international superstar Mirko Cro Cop is returning to the UFC. One of the most feared strikers in MMA history, the 34-year old resident of Zagreb, Croatia will be taking on England’s Mostapha Al-Turk in main card action on June 13th’s UFC 99 card at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany.
The 2006 PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix champion, Cro Cop (24-6-2) holds wins over Wanderlei Silva, Josh Barnett, Hidehiko Yoshida, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Kazushi Sakuraba, and Heath Herring. And though he only went 1-2 in his first UFC stint in 2007, he is unbeaten in three straight bouts since then and is looking forward to making a run for the UFC crown his second time around.
THAT FIGHT IS GOING TO BE SO FUCKING AWESOME... as long as Mirko Cro Cop isn't on his way out of the sport. If we see the Mirko Cro Cop we saw in PrideFC, then this one is going to be BRUTAL!!!!
