Compare the photo of the UFC 75 weigh-in to his fight with Bonjasky.

Bojansky is about as big as Kongo, yet Cro Cop still looks like a tank...

In the weigh in he looks small and soft. $:-\$

He's around 220, which is normal for him.
Looks soft, but maybe the harsh lights are washing out the details.

Anyway, it's not a bb comp. Let's see what the fight brings.

What will happen if CroCOp gets KTFO... WOul d this spell the end for Crocop... I sure hope he wins but with that picture I am having my doubts...

but crocop's legs are much bigger then kongos, and most of ur power comes from ur legs.

and he's real pale which makes him look smaller.

Well, to be honest, i think most guys would look chanceless standing next to a beast like Kongo.
However, Mirko has beaten bigger, heavier opponents (see Aleks E.) in the past.

It does make me wonder why Crocop doesn't or didn't fight at 205. Most of the 205 guys are 220 anyway on fight night. And seeing how Mirko demolished W. Silva i'd say he could have had a belt there.

After that last loss everybody should have doubts. If Mirko comes off again, he'll get KTFO. If he comes 100% i see him winning pretty fast by tko on some counterpunch.

he's always looked kinda soft since he left k-1. Doesn't matter anyway.

Kongo isn't exactly the type of guy to throw around his size either, so it's a wash basically. Size, muscularity, bodybuilding veins..etc lol..won't come into play in this match up. Looks nice but doesn't mean jack.

Although not really confident about this match, I think Mirko should win by ko.

Kongo looks like some kind of jungle Superman!

Don't forget about Cro Cop's fight with Bob Sapp. Sapp was allot bigger than Cro Cop.

realkarateblackbelt · « **Reply #8 on:** September 08, 2007, 11:54:50 AM »

Bobb Sapp is slow, has a weak chin, is relatively unskilled, and throws arm punches. He's no Kongo.

I know. I'm trying to stay positive about this fight. I'm big Cro Cop fan.

Cro cop is smaller cause they test for drugs in the UFC. Everyone in PRIDE was cranked to the gills.

How much crying have you done tonight as a result of the beating CroCop took tonight?

Geo · « **Reply #17 on:** September 08, 2007, 10:13:37 PM »

watching it right now,I don't think cro cop looks any smaller that he has in the past (he's in there with a guy that's 2 inches taller than him)

gave mirko the first round (he dominated the 1st)

big L dawg · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2007, 10:17:27 PM »

cro cop looked like a chump

Archer77 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2007, 10:47:19 PM »

Kongo sure looked suspiciously bigger.

not crying just stating the facts. kongo is garbage..we will see how long he lasts in the ufc

Geo · « **Reply #21 on:** September 08, 2007, 11:22:30 PM »

congos hands are slow and he has no game on the ground,his size will probably get him past the B levels fighters but as soon as someone takes his feet from him he's gonna get smoked....

those knees he has is only gonna get him so far

If Kongo is "garbage", what does that say about CroCop?

Kongo has the size, power and athleticism to do damage in the UFC.

Wanocki · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2007, 07:59:15 AM »

he definitly looked smaller during the fight than he did in pride

cro cop just isn't there to fight anymore. kongo is still a b level fighter at best.
