Greatest "Croatian" HW Ever?

Cro cop and its not even close, however let us wait for Stipe to have a full career..he's still green.

 

[Sgt Smith]

Stipe has the UFC crown, but Crocop has the legacy. I'd say Crocop for now, but we'll see how the rest of Stipe's legacy plays out. It's not always about the belt.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

O6 GP Crocop would've smoked any version of Werdum.


Stipe is a solid HW, but Prime Crocop with today's training methods would dissect Stipe.

When stipe won he was saying USA not Croatia

Clearly considers himself American

 

[Sole]

Michael for sure

That's what I think... I'm sure people will say that CroCop never won a real championship but yeah... For me it's not even close.

I couldn't work out how to make a poll... Did the option disappear or something, or is it just me?

USADA Cro Cop ain't the same guy, though.

Totally... That's why he wears Croatian shorts and always has half a stadium of people waving Croatian flags...

Stipe for sure. I heard he beat up Cro Cop badly in their sparring sessions they did in 2014. both nice guys though and both are great.

 

[BruceLeeOnTRT]

Greatest hw at combat sports? It's Mirko still. He has tournament wins in both mma and kickboxing.

In just mma? Tough call.

 

[Buff]

Stipe for sure. I heard he beat up Cro Cop badly in their sparring sessions they did in 2014. both nice guys though and both are great.

I'd love to see a prime Mirko fight Stipe now... Some Yoda vs Luke shit.

The dude is old and has much wear and tear... There's no evidence whatsoever of CC being a career PED user. He's had several fights in the UFC and never tested dirty prior to this recent flag.

I should have been more 'clear" in my comment, i am going by his K-1 and whole MMA career for CroCop. And its a well established career when you look at it, yes he has never won the heavyweight title in UFC or Pride. But his career was long and rife with highlight reels and very notable wins. Championship belts are always really nice to have, however, it doesn't necessarily define one's career in a negative light.

Up to this point? Are you fking serious? Why is this a serious question?

 

[touchedbyjab]

The answer is CroCop.
/thread

 

[Pakman]

CC by a long shot.

Also, Stipe is American. You can say he traces his roots to Croatia, but he was born in America, he lives in fuckin Ohio for christ's sake. Nothing is more American than Ohio (or not much at least).

Glad he reps Croatia for his family, but CC is the easy and clear answer here (even if u were to ask who is better between the 2 career wise, it's still CC)

Yup, USADA Stipe > USADA prime CroCop

 

[Buff]

Because when I click the button that says "make thread" anything i want becomes a serious question which you can Google a link to. Magic. It's like having the power of an instant library at my own fingertips.

Also because I totally just felt like asking it.

Steve accomplished more in the UFC in 3 years than Cro-Cop was able to do in almost 10.
