thats the rumor hes mad as dse and zentsov is his replacement as an alternate why start the frekin tourney if your not gonna finish it? mirko might go to ufc or wfa imo

confirmed from sherdog The article is in croatian, so i'm gonna translate the most important part.

Cro Cop is angry.But not with Wanderlei Silva but with DSE.DSE has refused to pay Mirko what he wants so he won't participate in the GP."We couldn't make a deal so on monday i'm leaving to Pula on well deserved vacation.I don't care how others solve this problems,but i won't give up my principles, and they say i'm to exspensive to them.I just want to be paid for the risk I take. I'm very sorry for my fans,but also for all MMA fans who expected a great show." Unofficialy we found out that DSE refused Mirko's request that if he gets to the finals he gets paid for the second fight.If Mirko defeats Silva in semis and fights in the finals (Nog/Barnet) it's logical that he requested to get paid for that fight including the prize money if he wins the GP. If Mirko doesn't travel to Tokio he probably won't fight in Pride anymore, but he has a great offer from a new american organization (WFA).
