UFC officials have approached Zelg Galesic (6-1) — the 185-pound British Cage Rage Welterweight Champion — with an offer to fight in the Octagon, according to FightNetwork.com.
The Croatian — who trains with UFC heavyweight contender and 2006 PRIDE FC Grand Prix Heavyweight Champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic — is often referred to as "Little Mirko."
He allegedly signed a multi-fight contract with PRIDE in January, according to MMAWeekly.com. However, the recent report from FightNetwork.com now contradicts that story, indicating that the contract has not been confirmed.
Galesic — a former Tae Kwon Do champion — has made a seamless transition to mixed martial arts since his debut in 2003 and is one of the top prospects in Eastern Europe.
His acquisition would mean big things for a suddenly crowded UFC middleweight division.

Nice. What is the name of “little Fedor”, not his brother. It is someone who he is training and also looks like he’ll be doing great things. Can’t wait to see if the acquisition of Galesic materializes.
