    For we shall never forget....





    Fedor did well to fight on into the 2nd and 3rd rounds after breaking his right hand and having his nose broken in the 1st. Crocop was also on fire, so fast and accurate in the first, incredible balance and underrated groundskills. Fedor also has amazing reflexes, countering almost everything, always advancing and pressuring CC tiring CC out by taking him out of his comfort zone. This was prime Mirko Crocop, when he was still Crocop.
    A godly fight.

    I think most of Fedor's fights would not have gone past the 1st if elbows were allowed.

    Thats true. I guess I was referring to several fights of his where he dominated with GNP but they went to decision.

    And he throws absolute bombs...not technical at all...basically haymakers but they come in fast and hard and at weird angles...so they are tough to defend against. Just watch the Gary Goodridge replay where Fedor turned him into an everlast punching bag....Tim had the same result.

    Because his theory is(from what I heard in his seminar) is that this aint boxing where you can dodge, bob and weave and maybe let few punches through. This is MMA with 6ounce gloves where 1 hit will stun you or KO you. Thats what he exploits if he is faster than the opponent.

    I have Fedor 80% chance of winning, but Mirco did not truly loose either.
