According to Mirko he has 4 more fights and will honor them all. Also as far as I can remeber his 6 fight contract had a guarenteed title shot in it.
Translated from Subfighter.com:
"Only one day after brutal and humiliating KO by Gabriel Gonzaga in Manchester, Mirko Cro Cop came back to Zagreb. Several of his friends, members of the special forces, were waiting for him at the airport. As soon as he got out of the terminal, walking with a limp, reporters gathered around him to hear his opinion on last night's fight, the fifth loss of Mirko's career.
Although just 10 hours passed from the KO, Mirko was calm and collected, and if it wasn't for the visible limp, you could never guess it was the same man who lied unconscious last night in the UFC cage.
"The fight went the same way I fought it, I didn't deserve any better", analyzed Mirko and continued: "That's seems to be the cross I'm carrying, I fall down every once in a while, I don't know why. I've been two times through such crisis, against Randleman and I came back, against Fedor and I came back. I'll come back after this again. It's part of my carrer, so I should handle it."
It didn't take long since last night's defeat for speculations to arise whether Gonzaga's hick-kick ended Mirko's career aswell. But to our question whether he'll continue fighting after this Cro Cop answered: "Of, course, I will fullfil the contract, I have 4 more fights to go."
After this short statement Mirko entered his car. Before anything, it's time to recover, and after that he'll start thinking about his next opponent."
Even his mom commented.

Translation from Subfighter.com:
"Brave mother: "I hope my son recovers, congratulations to the brazilian!"
When he gets defeated, especially in brutal fashion, the thing mostly worrying Mirko is his familiys reaction.
His mother Ana got through the hardest 5 minutes of her live from the moment on Mirko dropped to the ground to the moment he gave an statement in the octagon.
Although Gonzaga brutally beat her son, under tears Mirkos mother said: "I'm used to the fact that Mirkos career is consisting of ups and downs, but it's hard to recover after a loss like this. I talked to Mirko after the match and the day after on the phone and he's allright. I hope he recovers as soon as possible , gets up and then very well thinks about what has to happen next. And speaking about his opponent, I just can congratulate him. Respect."
