Oh brother.
I feel that poor Cro Cop is gonna get one hell of a beating on this one.
Love Cro Cop, but at this point, Mir is lightyears ahead of him.
THoughs?

Mir really only has the clear advantage on the ground, his wrestling dissappeared due to his accident , Cro cop can pretty much sit back and kickbox with Mir unless one of his kicks get caught or Mir pushes him against the cage and gets a takedown from there. They both mentally fold and Frank gets about as much miles per gallons as a hummer. I like cro cops chances, I'd say it's 50/50.

Chute, I really respect your insight into this sport, but 50/50? We've all seen Cro Cop's last few UFC fights. He's basically a non threat these days.

mir sucks ass and was never any good, but cro cop is old and washed up i think. i am betting mir wins.

Kinda baffled at some of you on here.
Wasn't Mir the UFC champ on a few different occasions? Isn't he still a top ranked heavyweight?
What woulda made him "good" by your opinion? ???

Mir hasn't looked all that great either in his last few fights, Cro-cop is at least riding a 2 fight win streak, whilst Mir is coming off being raped by a bear, that is never a good thing mentally. Stylistically Mir has got to get the fight to the ground in order to win, Mir comes out in a southpaw stance and usually does ok against orthodox fighters on the feet, Cro-cop is'nt an orthodox fighter. Stylistically speaking this is an even fight, since Mir is gonna be banking on the takedown to work his bjj, and cro-cop is gonna be looking at avoiding the takedown and and just workin his standup. The longer the fight goes the better it looks for Cro-cop, Mir is notorious for being a 1 round fighter.

Mir is delusional and getting outclassed by EVERYONE, at this point he's just a gatekeeper or stepping stone... Cro Cop since leaving Pride has been afraid to pull the trigger and engage, he was always a careful/cautious fighter but it's bordering on ridiculous he's so afraid to engage there's no point him being in the cage anymore. I think Gonzaga did more damage to his psyche than anyone is willing to admit.
-
I just see this as a very boring fight. I think Mir will win, but I never count Cro Cop out when he stands. Mir is a can and Cro Cop is washed up. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

who has mir beaten?
he won a controversial victory over cock chestnar, and a staff infected nogueria who was 6 years past his prime. he will gas if the fight makes it to the 2nd round.

When he snapped Tim Sylvia's arm I applauded, awesome stuff.

Well you say he's a nobody, etc, but he's been title holder twice. To say hes a nobody is a tad rough, no?
Anyway, I agree with Whorewell... boring fight.

I dont see Cro Cop winning he's not strong enough on the ground.

He's not mentally strong enough anymore, his heart's not in it anymore..hard to watch cause the guy was a f*cking counter-terrorist commando !!!! :o :o
