Some of you guys out here make me sick! You guys are out here saying "Mirko lost his heart" he "is done" or " a broken rib is no big deal". Are you ******* kidding me? A broken rib is a HUGE ******* deal!!!
What happened to Kalib Starnes when he "cracked" a rib against Kendall Grove?? He ******* quit almost immediatley! What about BJ Penn when he fought Hughes.....he lasted about 3 minutes. And finally what about when Rampage fought Shogun?? He sat there and took soccer kicks to the head rather than another rib shot.
Broken ribs TOTALLY DISABLES a fighter. You use your lungs to breathe and they are directly behind your ribs. Wanna try to throw a punch?? Well guess what...your pectorals, serratus and lat tie ins are all connected to...guess what.....your ******* ribs.
Mirko stayed in there and did not quit immediatley like Starnes, he lasted longer angainst a much better striker than Hughes and he did way better than Rampage.
You can tell who is a fighter and who is not on this forum. To say Mirko has no heart is a ******* INSULT and you should try being in his shoes. How was he doing before the rib injury?

******* great. Dominated, had him in the mount. Post injury....he still did amazing by taking body kick after body kick, and much lesser men would have quit.
Yes, he lost his fight to Gomzaga because he took him lightly. But to say he gave up here is a ******* laughable! Get off your ******* high horse and go die!
