PRIDE never die.

Retired mixed martial arts and kickboxing legend Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic made a triumphant entrance at UFC Fight Night 86, which just happened to take place at Zagreb Arena in his home country of Croatia.

Walking out to the familiar sound of Duran Duran's "The Wild Boys," Filipovic received a massive ovation from the raucous crowd who idolized him during his 14-year MMA career.

Based on the reaction, nobody would object if "Cro Cop" decided to throw the gloves on and step into the cage again.
