Cro Cop to replace injured Nogueira against Mir at 119

This is a big chance for CC to get into the title picture again a win over Mir and another big win and he would be in position to get a shot, I'm sure he'll be motivated for this fight.

 

I hope CC ****s him up. Tired of Frank Mir. Matter of fact this is a much better matchup. Nog Mir II is irrelavent.

 

This is an interesting development. I'm glad to see Crocop continue his career. This will make for an interesting striker vs grappler match.

 

Sorry but CC will get destroyed. It seems to me he has lost all motivation long time ago, and his feeble attempts at getting the drive back in him have utterly failed.

 

Well, if he beats Mir, I think we have to say he's back.

 

Mir is gonna look good with this one. And this is a much better fight also. He would have gotten crucified (again) for body bagging NOG a 2nd time.

 

Filipovic is gonna kick his ass!

 

Mir takes it; probably a much better suit for Mir than Nog.

He would likely have to win the stand up against Nog, or win a prolonged grappling battle.

With Crocop he needs to grab a limb and it's curtains.

Nobody in the game, can finish subs with the power Mir can, even if they aren't even on the "proper" leverage point, see Pete Williams' shoulder, Sylvia's forearm, and Lesnar's shin.

 

CroCop has pretty decent sub defense, I don't think it is gonna be no cake walk for Mir as a matter of fact this fight is a pick 'em, 50/50.

 

how did Cro Cop look against Pat Barry? We didn't pick that fight up on Armed Forces Network so I wasn't able to see it. Before he slapped on an RNC of all things.

I know he's blamed an old recurring knee injury on his performances as of late.

 

If only we could see the CC of 2003-2005 fight Mir, they would be carrying Mir out on a stretcher - sad to see an ATG's career dissolve like this, Ill be rooting for him though.

 

it'd be sad if Cro Cop didn't have a plan B and kept fighting the way Jens Pulver or Ken Shamrock have to. But he's a lawmaker in Croatia's parliament. It'll simply be an old fighter retire and move on.

 

The days of a 1 dimenetional fighter arn't what they used to be, Even a "prime" CC might not be the same as he was years ago.

 

Smart money says Mir wins. But this is CC's chance to come back if he has anything left in the tank. Prime, no doubt CC wins via brutal ko. But currently it seem CC won't mix it up enough and dance with the one that brought him, and that is the left high kick.


I will be pulling for crocop all the way.
