Cro Cop recently told the media that because Perosh got the fight in two days notice, he took it easy on his opponent;

“I admire Perosh for accepting the fight. There were much better fighters there who turned it down but i understand why; they did not have time to prepare. But, I am very sorry that i had to hurt Perosh. I tried to fight with as much consideration for him as i could. I even avoided the ground because I am 7,8 Kilos heavier than he is.

When asked why he didn’t finish Perosh off, Cro Cop simply said he was too bloody and I did not want to hurt him more.
