'With the flags of his native Croatia waving in the crowd, heavyweight superstar Mirko Cro Cop made his long-awaited UFC debut and delivered in style for his legion of fans, stopping previously unbeaten Eddie Sanchez in the first round of a scheduled three rounder.

Cro Cop, arriving in the UFC after a stellar career in Japan for the K-1 and Pride organizations, wasted no time getting down to business, landing two stiff left punches and a kick to the midsection as he eluded Sanchez’ initial lunges. The two then traded punches as the Croatian continued to stalk, eventually grazing Sanchez with a left high kick that still made an audible thump.

Looking amateurish with his wild swings, Sanchez continued to backpedal as Cro Cop moved forward with bad intentions. With 1:35 left, Cro Cop stunned Sanchez with a high left kick, and his follow-up attack put the Californian on the mat. Cro Cop quickly got into the mounted position and opened fire, with referee Steve Mazzagatti wisely pulling the 32-year old Zagreb resident off his game foe at the 4:33 mark.

With the win, Cro Cop improves to 22-4-2.'
