Mirko Cro Cop eyes UFC rematches against Junior dos Santos, Roy Nelson, and Alistair Overeem

"This is something I really want to do. It's something I owe to the sport and I owe it to myself to beat some of those guys. Some of them, yes, some of them, no. With Josh Barnett, I will not fight, definitely. We fought three times and I beat him two times. Technically it was three, but the first time I cannot be incorrect and take it as a victory. He was hurt after 30 seconds. We fell down and he hurt his shoulder. I was declared as the winner but it wasn't victory. But let's say we fought two times and two times I beat him fair, and I like Josh Barnett a lot. There's no point to fight him."

So who exactly is on the hit list?

"But [Antonio Rodrigo] Nogueira is definitely there, Roy Nelson is definitely there, and some other fighters. Junior dos Santos is definitely there. And perhaps [Alistair] Overeem, too."

he has a chance vs roy. would probably kill nog at this point in nogs career. dos santos and the reem is a far stretch for me though. maybe shouldn't take it that far. lol.
