Cro-Cop vs. Semmy Schlit A Possibility At Dream 6
WORLD-MMA is reporting that Omasuki Fight magazine in Japan has put together a trend of announcements on Japanese television that suggest Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic could possibly face K-1 King Semmy Schilt at DREAM 6 in September.
The most notable information that came out of the reports was of a TV spot for DREAM 6 that advertises "Cro Cop" fighting on the card. As for his opponent,
"In one fight, PRIDE Champ Mirko has to deal with the man that dropped K-1 Champ Mark Hunt"
Semmy Schilt most recently defeated Mark Hunt in April via a spinning back kick in a K-1 rules match.
DREAM is under a lot of pressure to put on a big fight that will draw TV ratings for their next show. Schilt and Cro Cop both have huge names in Japan and putting that fight together would be a fight people would want to see on both sides of the globe. It is also a fight that could draw a huge for DREAM as they have been having rumored finanicial troubles and need something big.
What happened to Cro-Cop vs. Fedor on New Year's Eve? Whatever works to get Dream back on track. The MMA world needs Dream to be succesful because God knows the other organizations in the US aren't offering any serious competition as of yet.
