people like him dont come along that often, thank you mirko for gracing us with one of the greatest striking talents ever!!!! don't think anyone has knockout highlights like him!!!
Hey, please someone tell me where I can find the match between Mirko and someone else and then Mirko is given the big fat check. It's Pride im sure! I believe it's the final or something?
Please help me finding it, gah.. I've tried a long time now! -.-' Only got entrance and stuff! :/
Hey there. It was customary in PRIDE for fighters to be given over-sized checks upon winning a contest, so you might have to be a bit more specific lol.
Try the PRIDE 2006 Open-weight Grand Prix Finals (Mirko's 3rd fight with Barnett), let me know if that helps!
Well, I dont find it! :( I tried to search that thing you said. I remember it's his birthday and he wins the competition or match whatever it is! Maybe you know what I mean now? :O
I think that he was given a check in a match against Heath Herring in Pride 26 in 2003. I'm not completely sure about this but somehow I have a feeling that is the case.Check it out.
I watched this on mma core and it is one of the best highlight videos I have ever seen put together. Great job. There was someone below that said cro cop only performed well against wrestlers and passive strikers and that he fell apart against another agggresive striker. Wanderlei Silva is one of the most aggresive strikers of all time and Cro Cop completely destroyed him. Cro Cop is legend.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it! And I completely agree, Cro Cop's counterstriking excelled in the second fight with Wanderlei.. absolutely murdered him!
there's nothing to say for Mirko you've said it already..future hall of famer,for me the best mma fighter,but to be realistic fedor is the best even i hate to admit it..his trademark left high kick,charismatic personality,most complete mma fighter in history,creative in his fights.i really miss old crocop but i hope he'll beb back in his next two fights in UFC..greetings from croatia
yeah, but its alright though...he didnt have to win any of his fights in UFC, he made his dream come true in 2006, not many fighters will...i doubt dos santos will ever win the crown.
Mirko thanks for everything. You are my legend. I will talk about you to my kids and tell them how great you were. :)

Crocop was just to stubborn and didn't want to evolve his game and take it to the next level, ultimately that's what cost him. After going all those battles of Pride who would of thought mental toughness would be his # one enemy. It's disappointing, with the right mind set he was still very capable of competing successfully with a smart non-predictable game plan that wouldn't included just a LHK everytime. Instead he will be fishing,..bye!
Cro Cop is a legend, one of the best of all time and one of the main reasons I fell in love with MMA, his fight against Sapp, ill never forget the first time I saw him chop that giant down. Not to mention his war with Fedor
There will never be another fighter with the skill, intensity and focus of Mirko.
its also funny to note that most of the strikers cc has beaten during k-1 and pride(hunt, bonjavski, hmc, JLB) would absolutely crush guys like kongo, cain, carwin, and dos santos. so in conclusion, styles make fights.
u look bak in every fight cc has been in, he has always looked bad vs aggressive strikers. cc was always at his best over wrestlers and passive strikers. so this notion of cc being too old and losing the fire he had bak in k-1 and pride is BS. my proof is the alturk fight. cc looked like the old cc showing confidence and pressing on the guy throughout the match. dos santos was too hungry and too aggressive for cc and inevitably lost. cc was the most charismatic fighter and he will be missed.
That's the cro cop i remember ;] of course now he's body is worn out and i understand that, he fought so many great fights, with so many good fighters and he was always on top, so his body has the right to refuse, and i understand that and everybody should, BEST OF LUCK TO CRO COP even though he's not fighting anymore, he's the true legend and my hero.
the best fighter in the world.. for me but now i think that he dont wanna fight enymore but he can not quit becouse he love the sport he said for croatian newspaper but i like u CROCOP go on and show the world that u are the king in the ring goood luck från SWEDEN
The Guys been in K1 since very young, he body is damaged just like Nogs, Randys, Liddels, Wandys who been in the game too long and took way too many shots...........No way should he compete against young guys, He should find legends.......Still the best highlight reel man to date and one of the few fighters you would get excited to see fight.....
WAR Cro-Cop. I hate punks who jump off the bandwagon when things are bad for a fighter. People don't just go to Japan for the extra money or roids. They go there, because the Japanese respect a fighter... WAR Mirko!

steroids make you feel fearless aggresive dominant and full of energy. not to mention stronger and more explosive. look at frank shamrock back in the day. in the ufc and japan he was a machine. now he looks all natural and he sucks. lol
such a fucking animal back in the day. prime mirko in the ufc would not have lost on the feet to guys like JDS, or Gonzaga. maybe kongo but not the others.
If only he had retired in the ring at the OWGP rather than putting "a black mark on his career and on his life," as he put it. Time for Mirko to just enjoy some fishing.
he's our hero!!!!!! greetings from croatia
