UFC officials have approached Zelg Galesic (6-1) — the 185-pound British Cage Rage Welterweight Champion — with an offer to fight in the Octagon, according to FightNetwork.com.
The Croatian — who trains with UFC heavyweight contender and 2006 PRIDE FC Grand Prix Heavyweight Champion Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic — is often referred to as “Little Mirko.”
He allegedly signed a multi-fight contract with PRIDE in January, according to MMAWeekly.com. However, the recent report from FightNetwork.com now contradicts that story, indicating that the contract has not been confirmed.
Galesic — a former Tae Kwon Do champion — has made a seamless transition to mixed martial arts since his debut in 2003 and is one of the top prospects in Eastern Europe.
His acquisition would mean big things for a suddenly crowded UFC middleweight division.

watch the video, no doubt he has his work cut out for him…but he’s a bad ass…he will destroy franklin and possibly swick, and im just saying “possibly” cause i like swick…but i have no doubt that this mo fo will wreck shop and surprize a lot of UFC fans.
i dont buy it but what about dan henderson coming over? he’ll school these fools at 185
Nice. What is the name of “little Fedor”, not his brother. It is someone who he is training and also looks like he’ll be doing great things. Can’t wait to see if the acquisition of Galesic materializes.
The little fedor guy you are talking about is Kiril Sidelnikov
Cant wait to hear what all the Silva freaks have to say.
yeah hes beaten Curtis Stout and Mark Weir, lets not act like hes the man just yet…but i do want to see him in UFC
Thank You
