Cro Cop and Fedor are two of the best heavyweights in the world., with Fedor being widely regarded as the best fighter in any weight class. Fedor has signed, or will be signing, with the K1 promotion. UFC wanted an exclusivity clause. Fedor fights in Russia, mainly combat sambo, and they wouldn't let him do that. K1 would, and they are offering good money as well.
Cro Cop will be fighting in the next UFC event, two weeks from this past Saturday, September 8th. He will be fighting Cheick Kongo, a pretty dangerous striker from France. The event is in Ireland, but will be shown, tape-delayed, that night for free in the US on Spike TV ... I don't know if Spike is available in Canada or not.
