Mirko Cro Cop needs help

In an interview with Fighters Only magazine, PRIDE FC terror and embarrassed UFC heavyweight Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic admits to thoughts of suicide following his loss to the younger, hungrier Junior dos Santos at UFC 103 and says that he’s looking into hiring a psychologist to get him back into that scalp-hunting frame of mind. Makes me wonder why more fighters don’t rely on sports psychologists to shore up the mental aspect of their game, whether they win or lose. It did wonders for Georges St. Pierre following his loss to Matt Serra. Anyway, here’s the quote from Cro Cop:

“I was very, very disturbed after the loss to dos Santos. I was in such a state that I wished to hang myself in my hotel room so I would be gone. Three losses in my last seven fights is nothing but a disaster to me. That’s a terrible score and I’m not happy about it. I already know some things that I did wrong both in the fight and in the preparation for the fight, but there are many questions that remain to be answered. I am seriously thinking about hiring a psychiatrist to help me out. I have already made some calls about it … I will make some changes in my training, because I wish to fight twice more in the UFC. I am a fighter, and I will find the motivation and strength I need … If someone offered me millions of dollars to quit my career right now I would not accept it. [Fighting] is my life and I don’t know any other way to live.”
