Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic In this week’s Trading Shots, retired UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes to discuss the role that Saturday morning UFC Fight Pass events can play in the crowded MMA landscape. * * * * Downes: Ben, I’m not sure if you were too busy going out for one of your extravagant brunches this weekend, but the UFC had another afternoon (for the Western Hemisphere) fight card. In the main event, Mirko Filipovic overcame some early troubles to deliver a devastating TKO win over Gabriel Gonzaga . I don’t want to get into the “Is Cro Cop back?” question because that just seems uncreative and reactionary. Plus, plenty of other people in the so-called media have already penned such pieces .
