Thats What I want to hear! WAR CROCOP come back stronger then ever!

O ya and everyone remembers cc got a new strength coach is trying to reach 235 or something like that! And if the nose surgery really helps like he says I cant wait to see him back in the octagon kicking peoples heads off!

YES! That gave me goose bumps =).. I love hearing this.

I think he’s a bit overated….did not perform well last two fights…however I do like to see him fight. maybe he will come back stronger than ever.

It’s not internet fans on his case..It’s UFC only fans…Pride viewers no the score…CRO COP BRINGS WAR!!!

Cro Cop Vs Jardine? What say thee

Or maybe…

CroCop Vs Forrest
Kongo Vs Jardine

Toelock .. Jardine and Griffin are LHW and Crocop and Kongo are HW ..

[quote comment=”207128″]Or maybe…

CroCop Vs Forrest
Kongo Vs Jardine[/quote]

Or maybe they are in different divisions.

Anyway, I would love to see CroCop come back strong. In fact, lets kill two birds with one stone, at least as far as recent articles on this site go; Put CroCop against Arlovski. I would also accept Vera or Herring.

Most of the people that are gonna reply “awesome, good luck”, are the same people that were dogging him when he lost to Gabe and Kongo….I have always been a big Mirko fan (hence DeathbyHighKick), this isn’t new….Cro Cop has much potential left, and I’m gonna be happy as hell when he comes back!!!

Sounds good to me.

lets see it crocop. just be sure to wear your crocup. ha ha.it would be great if he could put a good mma game together in the octagon. he seemed so confused his last two fights.

cro cop vs arlovski seems like the obvious match up. Arlovski’s been out for a while and hasn’t looked much in his last 2 fights (He was TERRIBLE when he fought on the same card as crocop when he lost 2 gonzaga in Manchester.).. It would be a good match up for 2 fighters now struggling for confidence. It could be the wake up call these 2 need, who really wants it more??? A defeat for either would surely mean the end of any world champion asperations.. Personally i think crocop would take it.. Arlovski has lost his balls.. Come on UFC give us Arlovski vs Crocop.

Music to my ears. Cro Cop brings that old Tyson excitement … your flinching everytime he steps.. anticipating that leg raising… Arlovski would be great…or is his contract up? m-1 bound maybe?

WELL, nevermind. I should have scrolled down first. Guess the fight is possible.

He just needs to go back to the drawing board, work on his weaknesses and gain his confidence back… if he’s true championship caliber, he’ll comeback,,, sometimes I have my doubts about these guys, years go by and they don’t improve in the areas they need to the most… it amazes me… I hope Cro Cop isn’t one of those guys.

Hey “Mirko Cro Cop” U SUCK!!!…

..trying to motivate him…

alright! its all the doubters who make crocop motivate to stay fight & prove something instead of retiring..

so com’n people lets doubt him more for him to make sure he will make a bigbang comback! hehehe

the fight i really want to sea for crocop is

Arlovski vs Crop cop 1 blink of an eye then one of them is done

Crocop I bad ass!

Oh man great news from Crocop. Yeah only people who doubt him are young ufc fans who don’t know much about him accept what he has done in UFC.

Go mirko you got full support from MMA fans in Calgary.

Yeah ok i just read the interview and says he will fight in January so that would be in England. Like is he forgeting that he lost twice there already, don’t fight there go to Vegas or somewhere in USA.

yea baby…that’s what i wanna hear!

I would like to see Mirko drop to 205 and fight in the light heavyweight division since he is a small heavyweight, but I doubt he would because he has always insisted that his natural weight class is heavyweight. But with the way guys are dropping weight and the fact Mirko doesn’t cut a lot of weight prefight, it would be an ideal proposition for him.

He would be among the bigger LHW’s in the UFC and certainly a force to be reckoned with. Besides who wouldn’t want to see another Cro cop vs. Silva, or the possibility of him fighting Chuck? I reckon he can be a dangerous addition in that weight class much like Brandon Vera would be at 205.

i really want to see him turn it around and make a run at the belt, we all know he’s got it in him, i think these last couple losses might be the motivation he needs to get back to his old self…

Hell yeah!!!! I hope Mirko conquers the HW division.WAR MIRKO!!!!!!!!!!

Man.
I hope you people that say “PRIDE fans know the real deal, stupid new UFC fans are the ones that think Crocop is done” aren’t the same people that claim Chuck was exposed lately in his two losses.

i agree to some.i would definetly like to see him back.but dont put him in with Arlovski.Arlovski will just end his career.he does’nt need another highlight reel made of him(not by him).but would love to see AA vs CC.they need to throw him another Eddie Sanchez type of fighter to boost his confidence,but whatever.dude has made some killer highlights.

i’d like to see him drop to lhw and kick bisping’s head off

[quote post=”3851″]Cro Cop Vs Jardine? What say thee [/quote]

I say….TWO DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES!

regardless of how good he’s done in the past, lets not forget that he is a totally one dimensional fighter and that will not and has not worked well for him in the UFC. I think his main problem is his head. He needs to be mentally prepared to make a comeback even if he is getting beaten, not just fall asleep and let a brazilian jui-jitsu finish you with a head kick

I would LOVE to see Cro Cop drop to 205. He’s simply to small for the HWD. I predict a head kick KO soon out of Mr. Cop.

Off topic, but did anyone else just watch the last Nick Diaz fight on Showtime? Most bogus decision ever. Dude lost for sure.

Get your divisions right dude.

Cro Cop Arlovski anyone?

[quote comment=”207209″]Cro Cop Arlovski anyone?[/quote]
No way, as far as Im concerned Arlovski is in title contention, Cro Cop has lost two straight. Although the fight would be nice, the results would be devastating to one or the other’s career. I would think to give Cro Cop maybe Jeff Monson or Brandon Vera. Im not even sure if Monson fights for the UFC anymore either.

CC needs a comeback fight that nets him a win 100%, because if he lost after making all the claims, he might just retire at that point. He’s already admitted he’s considered it.

SO, i suggest.

Cro Cop V. Brad Imes. CC win…
Gonzaga v. Cro Cop II CC Win…
Tim Sylvia or Arlovski V. CC…win.. too the champ at time.

I am most interested in the first two suggestions. I think if CC is back, truly back, he needs to address the Gonzaga loss promptly to untarnish a slighty tainted, but otherwise sterling rep.

CANT wait to see Mir-Lesnar… im not taking it totally seriously yet… but interesting none the less.
Maybe CC could meet the winner here too….HW is deep.

he has to find a ground game… or at least a chuck like sprawl and scramble

i just wanna see him fight!

IMHO, Crocop needs to start mixing things up instead of always stalking with his left leg cocked (and his straight left punch). He seemed really predictable against Kongo. His kicks are lightning quick, but still. He needs to expand his game into more dimensions.

Cro Cop needs to divide and conquer at 205, seriously how tight will it be if CC and Anderson Silva jump in the 205 mix?

Cro Cop is too small for heavy. And Andersen should look for Hendo. But CC 205 is a NICE thought!

Arlovski, liddel, Irons… There are a lot of guys still trying to prove there dominance after past performances and I think through him straight in there with a tough guy even lesnar and see what happens. There are so much exciting match ups. I don’t think he should blame the fans about his losses either, He still hasn’t proved himself as a force in ufc and that’s where you need to prove yourself.. If he doesn’t beat a big name soon a belt will never come, and fans will drop. Good luck to him though.

weird! - i was thinkin about this yesterday and it pops up today. I like how he’s talking about alot of the peeps on here that chat shit about he’s done - is he bollox, i’ll put huge money on him next time he fights gonzaga, GG should actually be scared next time he takes crocop on.
I dont want to see CC v AA any time soon - i wanna see these two guys absolutely tear the HW division apart, taking out big tim, big nog , lesnar especially and of course old man randy, the fraud fighter who thinks hes on top of the ufc jus cuz he beat a bad back timmy and a shit scared GG. CC and AA reign supreme

Looks like he could be on the Newcastle card (UFC80 Jan. 19th). I might have to go over to England again. I actually like the look of the card they’re putting together.

This is the video interview

CC should stop reading sherdog forums.

He came out really strong against Kongo. He looked sharp an was in control, till he broke his rib. I know I have broke a rib, it is hard enough to breath and do basic little things, let alone fighting.

I find it amazing how the internet fuels these guys fire. Thye really take it to heart. It is cray that a bunch of computer nerds can set these guys off and
push them this hard. I love it, hopefully he can leave the UFC with a winning record…

I agree that Mirko should drop to 205 lbs. However he has said that there isnt any room in his body too cut weight. That statement is bullshit. Yesterday I sat in, toked some trees and spent the day watching all my Pride events and I noticed that when Mirko fought Kevin Randleman at Shockwave, Mirko weighed in at 213 lbs. That doesnt seem like a big cutt to me….but I dunno Cro cop is stuborn as a mule and I see him comming back strong.

Cro cop vs. Arlovski that I want to see, winner gets his swagger back!

Also I watched the ryo Chonan vs. Anderson Silva fight like 3 or 4 times yesterday and man Chonan can take a shot. I know Hendo KO him but if Hendo connects with one of his wild rights he KO’s anybody. But chonan was very impressive, he actually outstruck anderson Silva for a little over 18 minutes damaging silva’s legs with ruthless leg kicks and striking very efficiently with his hands. He took a lot of big combo;s from silva that did not seem to phase him before finishing him with 1 of the greatest submissions ever performed in mma. Karo might be in for some trouble at UFC 78. Karo is a great young fighter, but he doesnt finish fights too often and chonan is one tough dude to finish. If Karo is to win it will have to be by a decision, but I wouldnt be surprised if Chonan steals the win. Chonan is a very seasoned, tough, game fighter, he doesnt get intimidated or rattled and he has all the tools to win. Karo vs. Chonan is going to a decision dont be surprised if Ryo steals the show

Cro Cop vs Vera

Crocop would have to lose 7.5 pounds per leg to drop to lhw. He just wouldn’t look the same. I would miss those huge ass legs……………and no I am not gay.

Ok dont take the pride weights at face value..they like pro wrestling weights you know….

Ryo is cutting like 13 pounds just to get into ww…this might be good might be bad

Cro Cop vs. anyone sounds sick to me… and I’d love to see Cro Cop prove the TUF boys wrong. By TUF boys I really mean the people who think the UFC is all that counts (the people who said Nogueira hasn’t earned a title shot… Anderson Silva is invincible… etc.)

Brandon Vera would kill cro cop, don’t say anything like that again plz

[quote comment=”207417″]Brandon Vera would kill cro cop, don’t say anything like that again plz[/quote]

How can you say this when Vera was brutally assaulted by Big Tim. You are in no position to say Vera would kill anyone, especially Mirko fuckin Crocop!

…. ok buddy we all believe you… anyways i think he is a bit overrated, the ufc has stacked up the HW’s so i’d say the only way hes gonna get away with a one dimensional game is applying for a tuf veterans show like season four cro cop needs to learn that kicking leaves him quite vulnerable to take downs and that leads to …. getting his ass kicked on the ground LEARN JIU JITSU!!!!!!!!!!! i want to see him succeed but even dropping to 205 wouldnt make him dominant because rampage would take him down

Even though he did bad,I still want to see him fight! Cro Cop still has fight in him!

i’m a fan of cro cop but i must say his last 2 fights werent what i thought they should have beeen, regardless hes a big name draw and has the tools and skills to be a champ or a contender all he needs to do now is get another w in the win colum as 3 back to back loses looks bad and as we know loseres don’t get title shots. I’m anxious to see who his next opponet will be.

thanks man.would of been great if it was in english.

Cro cop should definately mix his fight game up. He should also focus more on his true strengths and punch alot more and use his kicks more. I think in his last 3 fights he might have thrown a total of 6 or 7 kicks. Thats not enough. I also think he would be coming back to early if he wants to fight in Jan. He should look to come back in early March so he gets use to his New weight, and should NOT fight in England ever again!!! Bring it on Mirko. Bog i Hrvati!!

I would love to see Mirko improve his wrestling.If he can keep his opponent guessing he will be very difficult to beat.He has an advantage like no other with his high kicks.No other fighter has a weapon like that.Its almost a guaranteed victory if he lands it.I would like to see him fight Arlovski.

“Anyway, I would love to see CroCop come back strong. In fact, lets kill two birds with one stone, at least as far as recent articles on this site go; Put CroCop against Arlovski. I would also accept Vera or Herring.”

Yes! Cro Cop v AA I would love it. The only downside is one of them has to lose and whoever it is would probably be forgoten by the UFC.

So get out of here with your bullsh*t cro cop. What has he done in the UFC ??

Is it just me or does his nose look quite different?…I know he’s had surgery on it but I thought it wouldn’t change it aesthetically. It looks really fat. Is it just still swollen or is that his nose now because in my opinion he looks really different. Weird.

The interview in Croatian. Someone put the link up. It’s defo different.

How about Cro Cop vs Andrei Arlovski?

I’m sorry, I just wanted to be the 48th person to say that in this thread.

I think that that is the problem. The ‘Old Cro Cop’ just doesn’t cut it these days. He needs to reinvent himself into the ‘NEW Cro Cop’. Look whats happening to the other one dimensional fighter, ‘Old Chuck Liddell’. He hasn’t been winning much lately either. In today’s world of MMA, you are not going to win many matches unless you are at least somewhat well rounded.

Can I please take you up on your bet, for like $1 million. Gabe beat the shit out of Cro Cop in their first fight when Cro Cop had this big scarey mistique about him. After Gonzaga knocked his head off, he was dominated by Cheick Kongo. There is NO WAY that Gabe Gonzaga would be SCARRED to fight him, that is just ridiculous!!!!!!!

Cro cop get strong ass hell. Work on your strength training this is the heavyweight division gain pounds gain muscle. work on your punches you have greate punches you just need to work them more and use them more. Use your punches to set up your kicks. when you fought Aleksander you were punching a lot same when you fought Vanderlei Silva. You punch hard! you can’t just try to win a fight with a kick all the time because everyone expects that. work on your Knees, Elbows !!clinch!!. let your hands go! if you are trying not to get knocked out instead of concentrating on punishing your opponent chances are you will get knocked out or loose. REMEMBER THE POINT OF A FIGHT IS TO HURT YOUR OPPONENT NOT JUST TO WIN.
