I was reading on ESPN.Com I think that CC himself said this would be a tough fight for him to win when you consider that he has only 5 weeks to prepare.. He mentions he wont be able to go full force when you consider he has only 5 weeks to prepare
I like Mir so I'm gonna be pulling for him. He scares me when he locks on a sub. I'm not in the business of seeing Mir take a limb home and he always looks so determined to do so.
i never "hated" mir b4 the comments he made about kongo after the fight about european boxing having a lesser style or smtgh after that he was out in my book i hate arrogant priks like him so from now on i only hope to see him loose but to be perfectly honest im not shure cro cop can win this one since hes got in the ufc he hasnt impressed me at all dont get me wrong im a huge cropcop fan but the knee surgery & the age got to him i think
i really hope cro cop k.o's mir bad! i hate the *****! i doubt it will happen tho! cro cop's skills have deteriorated alot! but if theres a big name he can beat its mir!
why would CC take this fight then? He hates when he loses and i doubt he'd take it for the 30k dana's gonna pay him...
I wonder if we will see 245 Mir or 265 Mir. He already looks much slimmer and says he'll be 245. I think he needs to be quicker, more nimble in this fight.
This is an intriguing matchup. I'm leaning towards Mir for the win. Mirco seems to have slipped in his recent fights. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I don't get it...Wasn't crocop supposed to ****ing retire anyway ? wasn't his fight vs Pat Barry supposed to be his last one ?.. How come he's the first replacement choice for Nogueira ? Did he signed a new contract with zuffa ? ...or is this one exception ? is he supposed to fight 3 times for them again ?
I think he did sign an extention, he wants one more title run....and a win against Mir outs him in a good spot.
Cant wait for this fight you got a legend facing a former Champion and both have alot to lose/gain in this fight. I personally feel Mir could very well KO Mirko on his feet he is a powerful striker and his standup ability has improved quite a bit in recent years meanwhile Cro Cop has slowed down alittle and doesnt have the same confidence he did years ago. That said if im Mir my end goal is to get Cro Cop on his back which wont be very easy knowing how good Mirko's sprawl is. This is a very intriguing fight I cant wait to see what goes down next months.
