AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes I'm sure you picked gonzaga to beat him and knock him out with a head kick ::)actually Earl I couldn't care less. I think it's funny when people run their mouths about how great one guy is, the he gets his ass handed to him by an underdog. :-*

EVERYBODY was a cro cop guy
for him to get knocked out by a head kick in the first round by some guy most people have never heard of this upset is on par with any upset in sporting history
E
forget the kick to the head for a minute...he was getting pounded with elbows the whole time he was on his back too.
and ya i wouldnt be surprised if his knee/ankle is fucked up too
incredible win for gonzaga.
watch out couture
funny thing is lots of people "in the know" actually picked gonzaga to win . couture picked him to win as well
that was one sick kick gonzaga landed
Can someone please GIF that?
EVERYBODY was a cro cop guynot me ;D

who else did other than randy?

It still cracks me up how you UFC wannabe's watch that shit while actual REAL LIFE BOXERS train and laugh at it.
Nah, you can watch it all you want. That's your RIGHT as a human-being.
Boxers or boxing fans just laugh at you. These guys would last about 10 seconds on their feet with a world class puncher and all you UFC morons know it.
I know that the UFC appeals to guys who've never had any athletic ability on their own, who've never boxed, who want to wear their tap-out gear around the gym thinking they are bad-asses, but, I assure you, REAL WORLD FIGHTERS freaking LAUGH at the UFC. ONE good strike and any of those clowns are done with. You all know it's true and we (boxing fans) know it's true, also.
However, the UFC embrasses a LOT of the general public...guys who've never been a DAMN THING in their life. These idiots who currently roll around at their gym working on technique and position are enough to make ANYONE LAUGH.
The best fighters in the WORLD are boxing and earing $10,000,000 per pay per view. Inferior wannabes who could not CUT IT IN BOXING are making all you UFC watchers happy. Hell, simply minds work alike. I can see how all you narrow-minded simpletons like the UFC. Those out of shape clowns are doing something that you idiots feel you can connect with them during.
You all are sad individuals. Once you get past living through your currect MMA favorite, get off your ASS and get in shape at your local gym. You are all a damn disgrace.
Gonzaga did a great job with the g&p, but I get the feeling Crocop just fell asleep during the last 10 seconds of the round, thinking that Gonzaga was gonna just wait for the bell and not do anything. Wrong!!!

MELTDOWN
I'll have to agree with you; on their feet, a boxer wins. Too bad for boxers that in 'no rules' fight, a boxer would get his ass kicked big time. I'd like to congratulate all top boxers for being some of the most over paid athletes in the world; boxing is obviously going down the drain these days. When Tyson was on the top, there was no doubt who the bext boxer is. Now, the general public has no f'ing clue.
I love the fact how boxing fans come to MMA threads telling how good boxers are. MMA is going to replace boxing as the top fighting sport. So, enjoy your dying sport for a little while.
P.S. for those who wonder how a top boxer would do in a MMA fight, see this video

Egocrusher you are the narrowminded person we laugh at.
I train boxing and I am a boxing fan.
I also train MMA.
Only complete nubcakes and kindergarden kids believe any boxer can beat a pro mma fighter outside boxing rules.
Here is a video for you.
Ignashov(K1 MT) fighting williams(a boxer) your feet is hanging out from williams ass if you look closely.
ive boxed, ive done muay thai, ju-jitsu, shotokan, kuk sool won................you name it ive done it. And what do i think is the best of them all, well in truth the combination they give me. You cant say a boxer is superior cos i know a few pros and would maul them in a street fight based on my ability to get them to the ground and strike from there.
Thats all you need to do, and granted it may be harder than you think but thats where the fight ends and your bitching of them begins. I dont care if youre Mayweather, Jones Jr, Holyfield, Ali..........if a boxer is put on his back against a skilled ground fighter then hes fucked. Its completely alien to them.
Argument finished
this is the saddest sight ive ever seen in MMA, i just felt so empty when he went down. All i could do was rethink it over and over, even when i woke up this morning. I actually noticed his leg straight away, my wife was wondering what the hell was going on before Mike and Joe started screaming about it toojesus :o.man that leg looks nasty..damn mma is unpredictable..i never even imagined that any body like mirko would end up like this in a fight..this gotta be far worse than any mma knockout ever..knocked out cold with an ankle twisted at 180 degree...this is sad..
Did we overrate Pride fighters :o
Looked weak and past his prime. He is done.
how can you overrate the number 2 heavyweight in the world? He lost, nothing he can do about that just now but thats NOT the Mirko we have come to expect. He was disinterested in the fight, looked like he had other concerns and was certainly unprepared. A horrible showing by him but certainly not the end. hey even a prime Lennox Lewis got KO'd by a shitty Rahman. Anything is possiblehow can you rate him #2 in the world when he hadn't fought in UFC? He may have been #2 in PRIDE, but he was untested in UFC. So to rate him #2 without seeing how he performed against a different set of opponents was a bit hasty, don't you think?

with this logic fedor shouldn't be ranked number one in the world ::)has he beaten the best in the world or has he beaten the best in PRIDE? My whole point is you can't rank people in different orginizations above other people from other orginizations. If you do you get CroCop's head handed to him on a platter. I watched the fight and he was beaten to a pulp. Looked defenseless against the elbow on the ground. Did nothing to escape or advance. And made a huge mistake in dropping his arm, looked lazy like he expected a cakewalk. Is that because every fanboy out there is telling him how great he is and how he's #2 in the world, not just PRIDE, but the world.

Plain and simple. to me he looked awful, got his asswhipped, even before the head kick. But hey he's #2 in the world right? ::)
so you're saying rankings should be eliminated altogether?No. What I'm saying is that a fighter should only be compared to his own org. not every org. on the planet, the world. In other words someone could be ranked #2 in one org, then transfer to another org. he should have to start over, fighting like an unknown. Maybe move him up quicker because of experience, but bot blowing up his rep to be the best in the world, only that one org.
E
this arguement is flawed, as i could never see a top ranked boxer go in against a ufc fighter, for one it makes no sense financially, the other point being the rules of this bout. for me there'd have to be a middle ground if u were wanting a champion boxer vs a champion mma fighter......it doesnt seem fair to throw a boxer into mma rules or a mma fighter into a boxing ring...but as a boxing fan primarily i see the outcome of the fight favouring a boxer, but its all about opinions until it actually happens.
you only have to look at the UFC heavyweight division to see how inferior the fighters are. Im not dragging up this argument again, but to say the likes of Mir, Sylvia, Arlovski etc are superior to Fedor, Crocop, Nog etc is plain stupidity. You know nothing - NOTHING - about MMA if you think that. At one time i thought everyone in UFC was the very best in the world, then i started to watch Pride constantly and you can tell that they are the very best.
How can you say Mayweather, Calzaghe, Hatton etc are the best when they havent fought everyone there is to fight? because they have proven it with their performances when they have had to step up. Point proved, argument over.
WTF is going on - first GSP and now Cro Cop
Chuck will be next one to fall
spoiler videoWOW!!! :o

Which is why I don't know why people keep talking about this. Top level boxers WILL NEVER step in the cage with a top level MMA fighter, and they will use the purse as the excuse. But bottom line, if someone like PBF only boxes, he will have no solution for a single leg, double, ankle pick, leg dive much less a snapdown, two on one, armdrag, once it is within the clinch, it is all over. So the boxer has one chance, and one chance only.
Another sound argument is Boxers are trained to be hit with pillows... MMA guys train with 4 oz gloves... I don't really know how a boxer would take a shot from CroCop or Fedor with little gloves on... But once again something we will never know... >:(

so i suppose Jeff Lacy was "that" good before the Calzaghe fight too eh! ::) you havent got a clue what youre talking about mate, if you knew anything at all you would have realised that the real Mirko wasnt even in that fight. But sure, judge him on 1 performance and say hes shit by all means. Youll just look like a right arseholeyou're right arsehole, I will judge him on this one performance because this one performance is what is being debated. He looked like shit, he was out of place, and didn't know what to do on his back, took a shitload of elbows. And if "the real Mirko" was that good, then he should be that good at every fight, right? Maybe he had an off day, whatever, he got whipped, face it. I don't give a shit about any fighters rep, only what he does in the fight. Mirko was pumped up as the greatest by guys like you without taking into effect that he's now fighting in the UFC with different rules, and different opponents.
IMO, we're all gonna look back and realize that we underestimated Gonzaga. This is a solid 240 pounder who can kick, punch and is a black belt in
bjj.
Mirko didn't get punished on the ground because he was off. He got punished because he couldn't handle the bigger, stronger Gonazaga's top game. Even without the fence, what was crocop gonna do from the bottom? Hold on for dear life and hope the fight gets stood up. That's about it.
We're so used to seeing bjj guys playing bottom guard. Finally, there's a bjj guy big and strong enough to play top.
I'll have to agree with you; on their feet, a boxer wins. Too bad for boxers that in 'no rules' fight, a boxer would get his ass kicked big time.

After giving a credit where credit is do - to Gonzaga who really did phenomenal job on Saturday - I would like to mention that CRO COP (Mirko Filipovic) is still one of the most feared MMA fighters.
At times when everyone wanted to see Liddel - Silva match and most predicting demolition of the "Ice Man" by the "Axe Murderer" - Cro Cop completely dominated Silva - beating him with just as devastating HK as we saw last Saturday.
Same evening Mirko managed to beat Josh Barnett (for the third consecutive time) - man who defeated Mark Hunt and Antonio Nogeira on the way to finals...(and has numerous other victories over other formidable opponents...like Randy Couture...)
So, one bad day...a single loss - and some of you see Cro Cop finished?
Think again...UFC didn't signed him for - nothing...
Dana White recruited him from Pride - as THE MOST EXCITING fighter everyone wants to see...
I am convinced that "lightning would not strike twice" - as what just happened in Manchester was/is just a "freak of nature"...
No, I am not looking for excuses for Mirko...and I would not want to call his loss "an ACCIDENT" - but I am sure that combination of unfortunate circumstances caused Mirko's temporary lack of focus which (especially in the ring) could result in devastation of the worst kind.
Simply – it could have happened to anyone...
While I appreciate his comment: “kako sam se borio tako sam I prosao” [I got what I deserved] – I believe he just wanted to take the full responsibility – without looking for excuses or reasons why he lost…
Classy – as always.
For those of us who follow his career and appreciate his style of fighting (counter-puncher and conservative but super accurate striker who carefully chooses and times his attacks) – we know that even though he attempted only few punches and a single kick – at any moment he could have released barrage of deadly strikes and end the fight in his favor. We were all waiting for it and those few seconds in the first round when all of us expected SOMETHING to happen - Gonzaga surprised us all – I am sure Mirko was the most surprised of all…Oh well…Life goes on.
Like I (or rather “Rocky”) said: champions are able to take punches and continue to move foreword – and Mirko did just that way too many times…and he’ll do it again…and this time (I have a feeling) – better than ever.
I am just somewhat concerned about Mirko’s last interview in which he admits that he had enough of traveling, training, fighting, waking up early…and everything else he needs to do to live the lifestyle of the premier MMA fighter in the world.
I feel the saturation and I am sure that thoughts of his early retirement occasionally come to his mind…but I believe that he will continue (doing what he loves the most) – for many years to come.
They say: “once a competitor – always competitor (especially a fighter)”…and it all boils down to: he doesn’t do it for the money (off course money is added bonus) or because he has to…but because he loves it and he wants it.
Believe me – I know.
you're right arsehole, I will judge him on this one performance because this one performance is what is being debated. He looked like shit, he was out of place, and didn't know what to do on his back, took a shitload of elbows. And if "the real Mirko" was that good, then he should be that good at every fight, right?

I agree...
So what is going to happen with Gonzaga vs. Randy?
This sucks. I admit, i like Crocop. I like his attitude and style.at least it wasnt his left leg wich is his trademark...he dont use the right so often
One thing is certain, his fights are always very interesting.
It will be hard to come back, twisting your leg like that can really fuck it up for a long time. Trust me, i know.
And with the power he kicks ...
Plus he'll have to find that edge back mentally. He always comes off as a friendly guy, family man who loves his kid, dog, friends.
Yeah he had an off night, but you made an attempt to belittle him with your remarks. Nobody really expected that performance from him, its the worst he has ever fought in MMA and he rightfully lost to the far far better man on the night. HOWEVER he is still head and shoulders above anyone else the UFC has to offer right now with the exception of Nog, and that would be a hell of a fight if both guys were on. He will come back from this and i think this will cause him to train properly for his next fight. Im thinking that he could now face off against Arlovski or Vera depending on how long he is out. 2 fights from now he gets his title shot. Hell Randleman knocked him out early and he came back to go on a rampage through the Pride HW division.

If they fight again, I give Mirko about a 10% punchers/kickers chance of winning. Otherwise, the fight goes to the ground, and an overmatched Mirko gets pounded again.
what did you think before the fight?
the fact of the matter is mirko took him lightly
watch the owgp fights against wandy and barnet, it was clear that he came to fight that day
he didn't do anything offensively until 2 munites into the gonzaga fight
E
correcting, he did NOTHING!!! just one awfull kick and some half-ass punches...NOTHING!!!! he could AT LEAST pull a Tyson and keepin throwing his left leg in the air hoping for a 'one hit KO' it would be horrible but at least a lot more action of his part...
HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING...it was perfect for Napao...
Napao: fighting the fight of his life....prepared for the WORSE
Mirko: acting like a zombie from night of the living dead....
can you guys see the diference?
hey, it happens.
it started going rapidly down hill after he threw the offence (kick).
mirko lacked focus somewhat, but the thing is, you lose focus in a bout you can lose big. you lose focus in a tennis match you lose a point or a set.
every great fighter has had moments like this, but unfortunately so much expectation was placed on mirko's shoulders. people seem to expect their fighters to be supermen and it just goes to show how fickle a lot of fight fans are.
i don't know what mirko will do in his future, but he has my highest respect no matter what.
if his heart is, indeed, no longer in it (he's been at it a long time) he will be true to himself and the fans. the man is a true warrior.
i agree with you...its just that its diferent comparing to lets say the Fedor fight...he lost fighting it...this one not. Whats the most frustating its this fact
"it happes"...I agree. But, Mirko was slated to be one of the monsters from Pride that was going to walk into the UFC and destroy everyone before taking the belt. Not only did he not get through his 2nd fight, but he got knocked the fuck out by a kick to the head...a dose of his own medicine.
I'm thinking he is no better caliber than a Paul Buentello...ha ha!
jk ;D
yes, joe king, ha ha...
just remember, mirko wasn't the one saying he was going to walk in and 'destroy everyone'.
that was the dana white hype machine and all the big tough mma 'fans' that wouldn't be caught dead going into the octagon.
do you ever wonder why mirko can't wait to get on the next plane back to his war torn country when he's done fighting ??? think about it, the guy could live like a king in japan or u.s with all the beautiful women and toys he could wish for, but he can't wait to get the fuck out like he's suffocating or something.
that's because he is, in bullshit. now he's stuck in a contract with dana white and he is only just starting to realize how stupid a move this was. there is far more bullshit/hype and he can't get out of it.
so you must excuse him for having a bad night.
when a tennis player has a bad night he may lose a game, set or the match but he walks away unscathed.
when a fighter has a bad night he gets all kinds of shit beaten out of him and cops another flogging from the 'fans'. ::)
yet the 'fans' would have a heart attack if they even thought they had to walk from the changeroom to the octagon.
tell me mindspin are you an 'mma fighter' too like guy grunde?
funny how so may mma fighters and none of them have ever had a fight ??? (including guy of course, but then he's waiting for a big pay day ::))
if a guy (no pun) said he was a really hot tennis player, but only ever practised his forehand, serve, etc but never actually played tennis everyone would laugh their boxes off at him, but for some reason it's all right for a guy who turns up to 'mma classes' mon - thurs at 5pm and call himself a kick arse mma competitor that knows everything about fighting and what this/ that competitor should have done, etc, etc.
let you in on a little secret ;) guys like mirko laugh their boxes off at you too.
jk ;D
trust me he bought into his own hype
he goes to war with guys like fedor, noguira, and barnett
than gets knocked out by randleman ::)
E
so tell me what makes you think that mirko 'bought into his own hype'?
the fact that everybody was telling him that he would easily win the ufc heavyweight title
E
meltdown ;D
Nah, you can watch it all you want. That's your RIGHT as a human-being.
Boxers or boxing fans just laugh at you. These guys would last about 10 seconds on their feet with a world class puncher and all you UFC morons know it.
I know that the UFC appeals to guys who've never had any athletic ability on their own, who've never boxed, who want to wear their tap-out gear around the gym thinking they are bad-asses, but, I assure you, REAL WORLD FIGHTERS freaking LAUGH at the UFC. ONE good strike and any of those clowns are done with. You all know it's true and we (boxing fans) know it's true, also.
However, the UFC embrasses a LOT of the general public...guys who've never been a DAMN THING in their life. These idiots who currently roll around at their gym working on technique and position are enough to make ANYONE LAUGH.
The best fighters in the WORLD are boxing and earing $10,000,000 per pay per view. Inferior wannabes who could not CUT IT IN BOXING are making all you UFC watchers happy. Hell, simply minds work alike. I can see how all you narrow-minded simpletons like the UFC. Those out of shape clowns are doing something that you idiots feel you can connect with them during.
You all are sad individuals. Once you get past living through your currect MMA favorite, get off your ASS and get in shape at your local gym. You are all a damn disgrace.
yes, so how does this mean that mirko 'has bought into his own hype' ??
the fact that he admitted to having no gameplan when going into the fight
same thing with the sanchez fight
now if he fought fedor do you really think he wouldn't have had a gameplan?
E
wtf are you talking about ???
this does not indicate in any way whatsoever that mirko 'bought into his own hype'.
just admit that you were talking out of your arse to begin with and we'll leave it there.
you are an idiot ::)
any smart fighter has a gameplan when THEY ARE FIGHTING SOMEBODY THEY FEEL CAN BEAT THEM
he admitted to not having a gameplan, THAT WOULD MEAN HE DIDN'T THINK HE HAD A CHANCE OF LOSING TO SOME NOBODY NAMED "GABRIEL"
for him to even talk about "gameplans" that would mean that he often fights with a GAMEPLAN
now tell me he didn't have a game plan when he fought fedor ::)
I doubt he had a gameplan when he fought minowa
why? BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD NO CHANCE OF LOSING
no need for a gameplan when everybody including your grandma tells you that you will easily win, therefore YOU BUY INTO YOUR OWN HYPE
that should clear things up 8)
E
keep trying then dick head because none of that indicates that mirko bought into the hype.
he is not some novice starry eyed flash in the pan that's never been hyped before. the guy is about as opposite to hype as you can get and still is.
the reason he didn't have a game plan is because the guy just couldn't focus or clear his mind because of all the bullshit going on around him. he was trying to escape the hype if anything.
the fact is, every athlete loses focus now and then, especially when they've been in the game as long as mirko. unfortunately, for a fighter the consequences can be a little more brutal, but that's what makes fighting such a great sport (challenge).
and where does your proof of this come from ::)
I thought I was the one talking out of my ass hahaha
i'm sure there was no "bullshit" around him when he was preparing for the fedor fight which many dubbed the super bowl of mma ::)
you just don't want to admit that I owned you fool :)
E
lol, you don't know when to walk away do you?
i'll try and make this very simple for you, k.
YOU ASSERTED THAT MIRKO BOUGHT INTO THE HYPE.
I CALLED YOU ON IT.
YOU'VE BEEN BACK PEDALLING EVER SINCE.
how's that? maybe i can draw pictures for you.
I asserted it BECAUSE HE DID
this is what i called you on.
so while we're here please tell me what actions or words mirko made that indicated that he was buying into the hype?
k, you can continue backpedalling now... ::)
he said he had no gameplan CAN'T YOU READ?
who goes into a BIG FIGHT without a gameplan?
he had no gameplan because he didn't think it was possible he'd lose
now where is you proof that he DIDN'T buy into his own hype since you want to play this stupid game ::)
also I don't think you know what the word "backpeddling" means because nothing I said would make it seem like I was "backpeddling"
did you just learn that word and think that it sounded cool? :-\
