Mirko is actually something of a supernerd! Big fan of Chess!

I beat my own father at the age of 5 and got an inflated ego for it!
Only later I got to understand he actually suffered from retardation.

Mirko about chess!

And you play chess...

We all like to train our muscles, but few train our brains. It's my passion, before the interview I sat at home and played chess. I like to play every day. I'm sorry that I'm self-taught, but I plan to take a mentor next year, a grandmaster, I would join a chess club. It is a game that must be studied.

For a self-taught player, I'm very good. Of course, I can't compete with serious players, but every night before going to bed for an hour, the legendary games of Mihaj Talj, Magnus Carlsen, Kasparov, Karpov, Capablanca, Smislov... I love watching those masters.

Mihajl Talj is my favorite because of his playing style. He was world champion only once, but his way of playing was unforgettable, those sacrifices... He was the most aggressive player in history, and Carlsen himself says that he is his favorite player.

pretty fucking interesting and it shows the level of planning he brought to the game of MMA. to have a successful MMA career after a brutal K-1 successful kickboxing career, is fucking insane. He wasn't given favorable match ups, fought a who's who of everyone in the HW division, many ground specialists. To bring in Werdum for ground training and to give Werdum his leave only once he submitted him in training, that's some based Hollywood shit. Mirko was definitely one of the "new wave" of fighters at that time that got me heavily invested into MMA again. 2006 OWGP Cro Cop destroys Fedor.

my apologies. 2006 OWGP Cro Cop is the world's best fighter.
 
Seems like a great moment to make Jones vs Cro Cop in 2025.
Aspinall can wait a few more years.
 
He got me into the sport so I will forever be grateful for that.
Happy Birthday!

Sometime I randomly remember Brendan Schaud KO'ing him and it absolutely ruin my day...

On the bright side, Brendan said that Cro Cop is his favorite fighter. That takes the sting off a bit.

Legendary Mirko Cro Cop is my favorite fighter ever, tied with Anderson Silva.
 
There were guys before Mirko who made me interested in mma, but he made me a life long fan.
