CroCop has one loss by sub, against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in his tenth professional fight

You good luck with that prediciton lol

How are the odds for that scenaryo? +2000?

btw^^ when was the last time Roy submited somebody legit?

I correct my odds to +10000!

Pardon me, he never did before ;D

You said it was impossible, not that the odds were slim. Aside from the rather pathetic Perosh, when was the last time he fought someone who wanted to be on the ground with him? Barnett? Is CC's TDD legendary anymore? And if Roy does get him down, I really don't see CC getting back up barring a benevolent ref or a bell. Maybe not subbed, but I think it's fairly obvious that Roy will be the one in control if it hits the ground.

Man, that that fat guy can't Wrestle at all lol

CroCop has the edge everywhere the fight goes.. and there is no way in hell he could keep Mirko down lol

still fight will be standing not for 14 minutes.. but 15.

That fat guy nearly subbed Arlovski who isn't exactly a noob to grappling... so anyway, you see a decision in CC's favor as the outcome?

Just watched the ultimate insider and it was weird to hear Roy's wife say "I'm excited to see a healthy Roy"... just weird.... this is the UFC not the biggest loser.

50k on Cro-Cop

I bet all my creds already, so just took out a 1000 cred loan just so I could put a little money where my mouth is

1300 on big country.

I don't know who wins this fight. It could go either way.. Roy can certainly beat Mirko on the feet too when the same Mirko shows up who fought in the UFC.

If Mirko starts throwing more than 2 kicks again.. he should make Roy quit or KO him early.

I can agree with that. Mirko has the tools to win, but that Mirko doesn't come around much anymore... you never know. I'd love to see CC do well, it sucks to watch a fighter swirl down the drain before retiring.
