UFC Fight Night: Gonzaga vs. Cro Cop 2 is coming to Kraków Arena in Kraków, Poland on April 11, 2015. The event will be the first that the organization has hosted in Poland, and it will feature the long-awaited rematch between heavyweights Gabriel Gonzaga and returning veteran Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović. While Gonzaga won the first match at UFC 70 in 2007 with a first round head kick knockout that has become one of the most famous finishes in UFC history, Filipović hopes to get even with a win of his own.
