Probably quoted by some other overly patriotic croatian...Not trying to be a dick, this dude has a very impressive resume, but whoever said he was anything like Karelin is way off.
Some of those guys aren't even wrestlers, others fight a division below, and others are outright cans.I know Crocop has trained with Igor Pokrajac for ever and Igor was world level for a while. He also trained with Fabricio Werdum and Brazilian TD specialist Rodrigo Artilherio, but Id love to know who else Crcop trained wrestling with. His record against wrestlers is stellar

Are all extremely high level wrestlers who Crocop defeated.
Liked, but not sure I agree. I guess it would depend on ring vs cage and rule set. I’d like to see if DC could cut him off and get Mirko off his bikeThis is why I think Cro Cop would beat any version of DC.
CC still going strong.. Ishi is in Croatia for over a year and he requested citizenship, but has to give up Japanese one.
I don't think any weight advantage existed or if it did it was a small one that wasn't a huge factor. Fedor and Cro Cop both were around 225-230Is almost like Fedor was a great athlete, heavier than him, with much more grappling experience and legit elite Judo credentials

He was called Croatian Karelin for not losing a single match in national league and was a 2 time olympian...
He says that wrestlers are the strongest people in the world and that he wrestled with a lot of world champions and olympic champions but Mirko was the strongest guy he ever felt.....says he at the beginnig didint know anything about wrestling but CC picked it up extremly fast.......he calls him phenomena...
The guy is lying and Cro Cop is juiced.
