Stipe will never be as Croatian as Cro Cop, and he would have to do more than just win the UFC belt to be compared to the legend. Cro Cop is in a league of his own anyways when you factor in his records in other combat sports, and his accomplishments outside of the cage. But it would be a great none the less if Stipe can pull it off tonight. He has certainly picked the right guy to idolize in Cro Cop. Which brings up another interesting question. I wonder who Cro Cop will be cheering for tonight? He spent a lot of time back in the day training with Werdum, but he's had Stipe out there recently and they share the common ethnicity.
