Cro Cop is why I got into MMA, but watching and fighting myself, and everyone is right, it is a shame to see him go down hill like he did after UFC..just got to get that heart back and need to fight, but yes he was def rusty, and what appears to be out of shape. best of luck to him though
Man cro cop is my all time fav fighter and he didnt impress me that much in this fight. i cant believe he just gave up in the ufc!!its not like him to quit. everybody loses GO BACK TO FIGHTING CHAMPIONS MIRKO!!
i agree dude mirko was my fav fighter besides chuck lidell< and crocop just gave up in the ufc.. and id luv to see him comeback hard and kick someone in da head and win the ufc heavyweight title< he did promise his fans and said he'll be back in the ufc but who knows wen that will happen
Damn shame Cro Cop has gone down to fighting dumptrucks like this dude...quite the fall from his PRIDE days...too bad, cuz he is a legend, but it look like his days are numbered as an elite fighter (you gotta fight the best to stay there, and no disrespect to Chiek Kongo, but he shouldn't have lost that fight), I hope I'm wrong though cuz he's one of my faves!
hopefully cro cop joining Dreams will bring the old Pride fighters back. Theres not that much good Japanese fighters, they say if a japanese wins a tournament, he becomes the son of that organization bcuz japanese ppl cant keep up with foreigners. but i think cro cop is trying to win the belt so if the good fighters will come, they would wanna fight him.
whoah buddy, theres plenty of good japanese fighters, but Japan is a small country, I mean how many good croatians do you know that fight. They average good as a nation in MMA.
yeah, thats true but i meant in japan. from what i see all the time.. when a japanese fighter wins continuous, hes considered one of the best... from what ive seen. but you are right.
Is this a sparring opponent? I woud like to see him back in the UFC kicking ass, but he doesent develop anything except maybe his ego by fighting these bums. I want to see Crocop vs. Hardonk. It would be crazy fight between two kickboxers.
Hopefully pounding on a couple inferior opponents'll get ol' Mirko back on the right track. Getting kicked in the head by Gonzaga and the ribs by Kongo shook some screws loose. He'll tighten 'em up and be back to true form...at least for a little while before age gets the best of him. I doubt he'll prove to be a freak of nature like Randy lol.
you're not one to say, 'cause you've never been considered great. little shit. looks like he changed his style a bit. looks a bit weary about the high kicks.
okay why he deserved to lose to gonzaga for being stupid in his training and he lost to kongo because he kneed him in the balls at least six times leave it to the french i tell you
I hear it anybody who thinks getting kneed in the groin 5 times doesn't affect you in a fight hasn't ever been kneed in the groin. Some fighters wouldn't have kept going. That fight pissed me off. Im glad Heath took Kongo out.
i was going say the same thing he lost two back to back fights in ufc in devestating fashion now he is fighting who???cro cop pulled a funny one out the ufc pretty pathetic
Cro Cop Needs To get back in the UFC to fight some real competition.Hes Not going to develop fighting no name losers in a no name company.His head must not be right after those back 2 back losses.Quiting the UfC to join DREAM!come on thats just doo doo.CRO COP needs to work on his ground game and get back in that octagon.He relies tomuchon his awesome striking skills.Fedor Emelianenko needs to stop fighting bums too and join the UFC.
ufc is shit again .watch him against kongo.knee kicks in the balls wtf was that.stupid ufc rules.pride referee stops the fight when this happens or yellow card .
OK, to all the Cro Cop doubters, yes, he might need some time to get his second wind, but consider this: Before Cro Cop's last few fights, namely in the UFC and with Fedor, his cardio was shit. You pretty much never saw him get tired before that, even in the fights where he didn't KTFO the guy quickly, but in those fights he looked exhausted after the 1st round. He was fighting too much and had that septum problem. So now that his septum is fixed and he's rested, he can come back swinging.
Give me a break. All I hear is excuces. Cro Cop went to the UFC, failed miserably, and has to go to lower level competition. When he returns to the UFC he will get his ass handed to him again. After losing twice like liddell and wanderlei, he leaves top competiton. Real men like chuck just keep fighting em!!!!
I'm not making excuses. He did horrible in the Gonzaga fight, true, and I didn't make an excuse for that. I just said he didn't train for it properly and was not fit to fight. Did Gonzaga require surgery after his fight with Randy? Did he have a fucked up septum which affected his cardio?
The only excuse I made for him was when Kongo kneed him in the balls multiple times and the ref didn't call it. THAT wasn't fair at all. Those blows hurt you know....
Yeah I'll agree those low blows of Kongo were ridiculous. He looked very impressive IMO in the first round. I heard after that he broke a rib or something and just kept fighting. Any truth to that?
I just heard the post-fight interview last night with Cro Cop and he said he was getting so gassed because he had that septum thing that was fucking him up. I had been noticing he'd been getting really tired in his last few fights, when before he had good stamina, and this only confirmed this. He should fight better now that his nose and hence breathing are fixed.
hey i love cro-cop. but i think he has a few matches to go to back to his devastating form like he was against wanderlei silva. he had a bad patch at the ufc but he'll be back to smash those losers.
wasent a loss it was a tournoment he got cut by a ILLEGAL elbow if it was a normal rings event fedor would of won by disqualification or it would of been a no contest but since it was a tournoment the rules were 1 fighter had to advance they couldent let fedor advance because he was cut so they made the jap guy get the win.
well I disagree since this "poor kid" was the one who requested the fight, he wanted to make a name but that didn't work... I wonder if this guy got lucky like Gonzaga, what you would be saying then.....
I'd say, this is stupid. Why would you ever match CroCop against this poor kid? He clearly wasn't prepared for this and now has a pointless win on his record due to luck.
@cromatical nah not lucky, crocop is not the same in ufc...he is too old now and FFS HE DOES NOT KICK he has the most powerfull kicks in the heavyweight division in ufc but he does not fire them...
Crocop was beating kongo untill that dirty french-fuck knee'd him in the balls 2 or 3 times and then that gayboy John McCarthy never deducted any points.
Wow he lost 2 fights in the UFC big deal. LOL every great fighter has his loses unless your fedor. Italianogogo stfu u italian genetic piece of trash.
DREAM, smart go the PRIDE route and just throw cans in front of the big names so they can pad their win column. How did that work out for PRIDE again?
collapsed because once dana white bought it, he fucked around with it and wanted to re-release it, but now it seems soem of the pride fighters have liquidated into ufc. pride was the best. alongside bareknuckle ufc.
man thanks for this vod, i knew crocop would own it up. i never really approved the loss against kongo cause he got kicked twice in the balls, and seriously, no man can fight after gettin kicked there

Not so much going back to his old self (dunno if it's video resolution, but looks like he's not in great shape like when he was younger) but I am happy to see he's evolving his game and throwin knees now (maybe elbows later too) what piss me off in Kongo fight, he didn't throw enough knees, like he was lost in the clinch.
