That high kick is a killer.

[6(sic)6]

Cro-cop is one of my favorite characters on Pride...
His kicks are insane.

[VAMPIR]

Obožavam Cro-copa. Sjajan borac, moj omiljeni u Prideu. I porijeklo mu daje odlične predispozicije da bude borac.

[Ahknaton]

Crocop is the man. I used to watch him fight in K-1 in South Korea.

[Jebivjetar]

He's now in best shape ever with much earned expirience in MMA fighting. I'm looking foward to his second fight with Fedor.

When is it going to happen?

[Jebivjetar]

When is it going to happen?
I can't tell for certain.
Both, Mirko and Fedor, are schudled to fight on New Years Eve (PRIDE Shockwave 2006) but probably not with each other because Mirko's left foot hasn't healed completly since recent operation.

[Zrinski]

When is it going to happen?

Hopefully somewhere in 2007...maybe in second half of '07.

[Professor John Frink]

Hopefully somewhere in 2007...maybe in second half of '07.
Yeah, cos Fedor is fighting Mark Hunt on New Year's Eve.

[Jebivjetar]

I would like to see fight Mirko vs Minotauro on Pride Shockwave 2006.

[Captain Marinesko]

I saw Crocop kick the ass of Heath Harris(or something like that) on Russian TV(it was a PRIDE fight) a couple months ago. It looked like he didn't get a scratch on him and he defeated his opponent effortlessly. It was also nice to see his opponent, who had to come in the ring with some flashy get-up and music, get crushed by the much more mature, modest Croat.

[Jebivjetar]

First American UFC victory for Mirko. He demolished his opponent, Eddie Sanchez.

[Morpheus]

Mirko is going to run through the UFC HW division. There is no real talent there.

I'm certain that he will do the same to Sylvia and Arvloski as well.

Maybe when he gets the belt they will hype a rematch between him and Fedor.

Do you have a clip/link or something?
I looked at youtube but didn't found any clips of him vs eddy.

There is talk about possible rematch if Mirko wins the belt in UFC. It would be the clash of two heavyweight champions in that case - UFC Champ and Pride Champ.

As for the title match for Mirko, the word is he is probably going to get the chance somwhere after his second fight which will be in London in April this year. After that fight, if he wins (:D), he will have a go with a shot to win the UFC title.

Btw. as for last night match I must say Sanchez did very good, it could have been much worse for him.

Oh and here are two excellent (and my favourite) highlights of Mirko:

Are you serious? :rofl:

Only thing that saved Sanchez from brutal KO was his backpeddaling and running around Mirko. His guard was nonexistant and all strikes he threw were wide and sloppy hooks.

Sanchez looked like a bar fighter not an athlete, he wouldn't last much longer with any of PRIDE's top 10 heavyweights.

[Zrinski]

Well thats what I am saying. He did well, he wasn't knocked dead. :D

[Fitz]

Cro Cop-Sanchez was a mismatch. Here's the video from the Silva-Lutter fight. I really underestimated Lutter.

Silva vs. Lutter UFC67 (http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/tag/UFC/search/UFC%2B67/video/x14pqi_anderson-silva-x-travis-lutter-ufc6)

[Fitz]

Cro Cop's next opponent and new UFC Heavywight Champion....

Couture vs. Sylvia UFC68 (http://dewsaw.com/sports/)

[Captain Marinesko]

Why is he going from PrideFC to UFC? I thought Pride was better and paid a lot more.

[Zrinski]

They payed him more money than Pride did so no Pride doesn't pays more. UFC has much more money and you can expect in the future a few more of Pride's fighters transfering to UFC.

[Fitz]

For those in the States, Cro Cop will be fighting on television tonight, starting at 9pm Eastern on Spike TV.

Free of charge.

[Ace Rimmer]

He lost, severely. yikes

[il ragno]

Took it right up his formerly-Yugoslavian shit chute, he did. Croatian authorities doubled the security-watch on his mother's grave and she isn't even dead yet.
