I too once hoped that Mirko would dominate the UFC and prove that Pride fighters were tougher and fought better competition…but, he let me down way too many times. What about the fact that up until his UFC debut, he hadn’t even bothered to train in a cage?

That, to me, is showing arrogance and contempt for your opponents and fans. He came into the cage throwing head kick after head kick…I mean, I don’t get it when fighters exhibit such complete disregard and act so naive. Do they not watch TV reports? do they not understand that if they are not at their best, they can be seriously injured or even killed.

All I’m saying is that if I’m a fighter like CroCop and it is already widely known that all I’m going to do is try to kick my opponents head off and that he, in turn, will be religiously preparing for that…wouldn’t I have the common sense to have a different gameplan before he kicks my ***?

Yes, he has been working on his BJJ for many years, but, how many times has he even put himself into the proper position to display those skills and techniques?

I hope your wrong Amir, its tough to see Guys like Mirko, Wanderlei, Chuck, etc.. falling on hard times. Your probably right, but hey, i can still hope man. It would be nice to see Mirko possibly drop down to 205, im sure he could impose his will on alot of guys in the division.

Just so you know he HAS been working his BJJ for the past 5 years with Werdum. Im sure not all his time is dedicated to BJJ so hes probably a solid purple belt by now if not a brown belt.

CroCop is finished. This is just another puff of smoke he is trying to announce to get another pay day. He has done this many times before and always ends up dissapointing.

It’s funny that after watching the documentary
“How Bruce Lee Changed the World”, constant references were made about his philosophy and influence on mixed martial arts and how a fighter needs to always adapt to his opponent. Yet, guys like CroCop and Chuck Liddell and others have done the exact opposite…interesting ain’t it?

For once, I’d love to see CroCop become unpredictable and take guys down or submit them.

Kansas, its just about 2 years of anticipation coming to an end tomorrow, im sure all that will die down before UFC 98 this weekend. I thought you said you had a 360 way back Kansas, you should get in on the tourney man.

I understand that the new game is great, but this is an mma blog site, and I am finding it hilarious that it has become a video game forum and that’s ALL it is lately.

I think Cro Cop is counting before hatched UFC 99 is pretty much full and I think it would be great but strange to pull a switch up on Cro Cops supposed opponent at this point, unless there is a financial bonus to this. Just my thoughts.
