thoughts?
i agree, i was really hoping for thatOrganik said:id like to see cro cop vs kongo more.. since it would be completely kickboxing.. would be intresting
Mirko never plans on making it a highlight reel, I really think he couldn't care less about it. And saying that "this will not be a highlight reel" knockout is difficult to justify since I think pretty much no though Crocop vs. Wandy would be a highlight knockout...but we all saw what happened with that.Oil said:This will not be a Cro-Cop highlight reel and if he thinks he can try to make it one he's going to end up with another number in his lose column.
You say that but his fight with Eddie Sanchez was exactly that. He was head hunting him the whole time. Often during the fight Cro-Cop threw head kicks that were not very well timed and often weak and misplace. Much of it was do to him *trying* to get the head kick knockout rather than take his time and set it up with combos and distance games.silvawand said:Mirko never plans on making it a highlight reel, I really think he couldn't care less about it.
It sounds like ur sticking up for Gonzaga cuz he is out of Massachusetts. Im a Boston boy too, but I can face the facts. Gonzaga has faught 1 decent fighter in his career and he lost. Not to mention the guy that beat Gonzaga is Crocop's BJJ coach, so Im sure he can give him some good pointers. Gonzaga will not be able to take down Crocop. It took Nog nearly 15 minutes to do it and Gonzaga isnt on Nog's level. I dont think Gonzaga is as good as Barnett on the ground nor as good as him on the feet and Crocop beat him like a drum. Another easy fight for Mirko. I dont see why they couldnt let him fight AA. Noone would think any less of AA if he lost to Crocop. But instead we get another mismatch. Crocop will win this fight easier than he did against Eddie because Gonzaga wont run away.Oil said:I love people's replies.
"Cro-Cop is the best! He is ubber cool and will pwn Gonzaga!! I have no clue why I think that and instead of posting something note worthy that might explain my choice! I guess I'll just hug is nutz till they turn purple and I emasculate him with all my lovin'!"
I really wish more people respond to threads like this with more thoughts than the average drunken frat guy. :dunno:
what was more entertaining was bob sapp rolling around on the ground like a lil girl holding his face from a jabMMARocks said:Throw Bob Sapp in there for entertainment value. Cro Cop ran from him.
i couldnt have said it better myself... and the fact that werdum is cro cops BJJ coach prolly has gonzaga raising some questions right nowjdun11 said:It sounds like ur sticking up for Gonzaga cuz he is out of Massachusetts.

this is the most accurate prediction i've seen. i dont think we'll see a head kick in this one because gonzaga could possibly capitalize on a miss and take mirko down. tko, probably early 2nd round.brownpimp88 said:Bad match up for Gonzaga. Cro Cop's sprawl will give him problems and when he comes in to close he will eat strikes. Gonzaga is good though, and I think he would pose problems for someone like Tim Sylvia, but Cro Cop via body shot leading to a TKO.
Hopefully we get to see the high kick, though, because UFC fans who don't know PRIDE NEED to see it.kds13 said:this is the most accurate prediction i've seen. i dont think we'll see a head kick in this one because gonzaga could possibly capitalize on a miss and take mirko down. tko, probably early 2nd round.
Yeah, it sucked that the fight ended so soon. Sapp was throwing much harder shots, he just couldn't connect. But, Sapp in the center of the ring, stalking Cro Cop as he ran in circles was funny.Organik said:what was more entertaining was bob sapp rolling around on the ground like a lil girl holding his face from a jab
The little jab, that was mentioned, was actually a straight left that broke Sapps cheekbone. It was set up by a kick to the ribs that bruised 2 of them.MMARocks said:Yeah, it sucked that the fight ended so soon. Sapp was throwing much harder shots, he just couldn't connect.

Glad to see the UFC is stepping up to the plate with the best quality fighters available.
