First Rampage now Cro-Cop?

The WFA is busy working on its big PPV event on Saturday, but apparently that has not stopped it from making a run at some more top talent.

Croation Comat Sports Center translated a recent Mirko "Cro-Cop" Filipovic interview that includes this interesting highlight:
JL: you've mentioned in many occasions that you'd love to fight in usa?

MCC: i'll fight there soon, maybe even this year in october, but not under pride or ufc, but under one other organization who just have started their business, their offer is excellent and i'll very likely accept it.
Zach Arnold thinks Cro-Cop is referring to the WFA and that it means Pride is having money trouble. If so, that would mean that the WFA will have signed two of Pride's top fighters - Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Cro-Cop. It would also indicate that the WFA is serious about making a run at the UFC.
