Mirko Filopovic get his nickname form being Croation and part of the Croation Police
Filipović started his professional career in 1996 as a kickboxer, following the footsteps of his compatriot Branko Cikatić. At the time, Filipović was working as a commando in the Croatian police anti-terrorist unit Alpha (stationed in Lučko near Zagreb), which earned him his nickname Cro Cop. He also fought several times early in his career under the nickname Tigar (Croatian for "tiger").
Hope this helps

He was a police officer in his native Croatia hence forth the name "Cro Cop" short for Croation Cop.

I believe the cro is because he is from Croatia. Not sure if the second part is because he was a cop?
