Earlier this week, it was announced that former UFC heavyweights Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Roy Nelson will collide at Bellator 200 this May 25<\/a>. The bout will be a rematch of a 2011 fight, which Nelson won via third-round TKO.<\/p>\n

Ahead of this fight, Nelson has mentioned Cro Cop’s previous brush with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and wonders if the MMA legend might still be using “special supplements” \u2013 though he doesn’t really care one way or the other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Cro Cop\u2019s definitely always improving with age, but I think he\u2019s back on the special supplements, better supplements than usual,\u201d Nelson told MMAJunkie<\/a>. \u201cThroughout my whole fight career, the only reason people want to fight me or have a chance to beat me, is if they get something. It\u2019s something I just know that everybody is just on it. It\u2019s one of those things where it\u2019s an uphill battle. If you can help prevent it, cool. But at the end of the day I just go out there and fight whoever they want me to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

It did not take long for Cro Cop to respond to this comment from Nelson.<\/p>\n
