Joe Rogan was wrong about Mirko Cro Cop.

[moreorless87]

It pisses me off to hear Rogan talk about Mirko's chin and how it's small and not designed to take punches well.

Mirko has been KO'ed 6 times in 120 fights. Just shut up.

You could argue the opposite, Bigfoot has a chin the size of Mirko's entire head yet he gets dropped far more often.

Really though I think Mirko is a perfect example of "chin" being as much about defence and how you take punches as some innate ability to do so. You look back for example as his fights with Fedor and Hunt, both of them landed some good shots on him but back then he was able to take them well seeing the shots coming and rolling with them.

Yes, because all UFC champs secretly desire to be the kings of the Inoki Genome Federation Championship, instead.

 

[Patrick Jane]

Does anybody have a link to a recent interview of Cro Cop? Does he stumble or something or why does everybody think that he has THAT amout of brain damage?

 

[BrockStPierre]

Pat Barry could probably win a K1 title nowadays.

This. Even Brock Lesnar has a chance !

 

[Cosmic Cthulhu]

UFC signed him because Bellator was about to, and they would've made good money selling a PPV with Kimbo/Cro Cop headlining.

Cro Cop is done. As in, he's old, completely out of his athletic prime, nurses multiple injuries (his back, IIRC), and has a twitch...

... That being said, the UFC's heavyweight division are old and out of their prime too, but he still got his ass kicked last time he fought in the octagon.

 

[Like A Bas]

He's done. He's more done than Schaub and Mir, who are two guys quite notable for being done, and who beat him years ago. Done.

 

[yookfarb]

It has been 9 fucking years since the 06' Grand Prix

 

[Frank23]

he looks fat

I don't see it.

 

[Frank23]

He will not win any fights in the ufc

I hope that you are wrong.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Who doesn't love Cro Cop?
But...no.

 

[NatoHoro]

It's really sad... but i think he is done.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Yes winning the Shiitake Mushroom Championship and getting handed a K-1 Quarter Final win by biased Croatian judges is very impressive. He should have Cain's belt within a year.

Quoting so everyone can read this one more time

[Tsar]

schaub should call him out again. IMO.

 

[Scitney]

I can discredit K-1 with two words; Bob Sapp

 

[philweed]

You're foolish to think he can compete with today's young athletes in the UFC.

 

[HHJ]

k-1 (nowadays) and genome dont really mean anything at all

 

[synyster]

if they give him fights against other old guard fighters like Gonzaga it's worth having him around for the fun of it.. And at heavy you never know, look at Arlovski, but he certainly isnt beating any true legit up and coming heavies at this point. At least I would bet against him..

 

[HHJ]

I can discredit K-1 with two words; Bob Sapp

not really.

saying that just means you dont really know shit about k-1 other than a few fights

 

[Son of Jamin]

I sadly think he is really done but I sure hope that he proves me wrong!
