On Sunday, “Cro Cop” fired back in a Facebook post.
“Dear Roy
Nelson, you don’t have to worry that I’m using any ‘special
supplements’ as you claim,” Filipovic wrote. “The only ‘special
supplements’ I’m using is [two] hard and bloody trainings per day,
five days a week. And I will be tested, like all others, during
preparations for the fight and before and right after the
fight.
“So you can be calm and start thinking of some good excuse after I beat up your fat disrespectful ass. You have enough time to May 25 and do me a favor please, and shave that disgusting beard, look like professional fighter and show respect to your opponent. Good luck!”
Filipovic was suspended for two years by USADA for his use of human growth hormone prior to a scheduled bout against Anthony Hamilton at UFC Fight Night in Seoul, South Korea, in November 2015. The Pride Fighting Championships veteran announced his retirement shortly before the suspension, but ultimately ignored the sanction to return to fight in Japan for the Rizin Fighting Federation.
Overall, Filipovic has won eight consecutive contests since 2014, including triumphs over the likes of Gabriel Gonzaga, Satoshi Ishii (twice) and Muhammed Lawal.
Mike Mazzulli, the president of both the Association of Boxing Commissions and the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation, will oversee drug testing at Bellator 200. Bellator 200 will air via tape delay in the U.S. on the Pararmount Network at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. The card will also include a middleweight championship clash between and Gegard Mousasi.
