Where Is Goran Reljic?

According to this interview he's still recovering from a back injury:

My contract with the UFC has been extended due to my injury. They also expect me to come back, because now a lot of people want to see again in the ring. I come out to fight!, but it all depends on the recovery - concluded Reljić.

The Croatian burst onto the UFC scene at UFC 84 stopping Wilson Gouveia in the second round.  Reljic is undefeated in his career finishing 7 of his 8 opponents.  While he made his UFC debut at light heavyweight, he had plans to move down to middleweight prior to the injury.  He'll be an interesting addition to the middleweight division upon his return.  Which should be sometime this fall if rehab goes according to plan.

I have his fight vs. Gouveia down as if not one the best fights of ’09, then at least one of the most entertaining.

I think he’d be a great addition to the MW-division — he’s relatively young as well.

Bloody hell.

Young….and big as hell…I think he’s listed at like 6’3".

Wiki has him at 190 cm, which is approx 6’3 I think.

Wiki has made a mess of such data in the past though.

Bloody hell.

I can’t wait for his return. I watched his fight against Gouveia. Taking on a guy like Wilson and finishing him in your first fight in the octagon is no joke. This guy has the potential to be a big threat in the LHW division.

He’s moving to MW…according to the latest I read about him.
