In the quote he says he wants to fight a top K-1 fighter but my guess is it wouldn't actually be promoted by K-1. 

Regardless, please hang em up Mirko! This **** isn't healthy.

i hope he can still make it in k1. I mean, the question is whether his lack-luster ufc run was primarily due to slowing down with age, or a lack of rounded skill s to match the new breed of mmartists

Just what everyone wants to watch Cro Cop get knocked out more

The guy needs to retire already.

He'll do much better in K-1 than in the UFC HW division.

K1 is dying but there are still a lot of good promotions over here in Europe for K1 fighters so I guess he'll go with one of them.  He's hugely popuar over here, so whichever promotion gets him will be sure to pack the house

I don't want him getting brain damage. I hope he means a K-1 MMA fight and not their usual kickboxing format because a high-level prospect could hurt him striking. He just don't have it no more, I love him but it's over and I feel bad to see him fight again. I feel worse when James Thompson fights. I think Thompson already is braindead and just doesn't go to doctors so no one can tell him it's a bad idea.
