(sorry if this is a repost , it's new to me)... Just thought it was interesting and it totally confirms what i've been saying about the guy. If you watch the last UFC, this is something nobody knows, the Mirko Cro Cop fight that was on Spike last week - he got kneed in the balls, he went down and said to Big John McCarthy... Crocop Im too old for this ****. Big John No man youre fine, youre fine. crocop No I should just quit right now. (He said this while he was down) Big John If you want to quit just let me know" crocop "no, no I dont"... So he had 5 minutes to recover and said he was too old for this courtesy of mmaontap.com
Well it confirms what is plain to see. Cro too often becomes very passive and discouraged. Lets call him MMA Zab Judah. When he is on and letting it go, the guy is amazing. He gives in mentally but not physically, same as Zab. Belfort is a little like this too. They don't want to fight but they won't just stop. They'll just become passive yet absorb what is coming their way.
