Ah, the memories.
It’s still hard to believe that the Mirko that won this tourney became the Mirko who washed out of the UFC, ran away to hide in Japan and made excuses. Is there a similar parallel in MMA? I can’t think of anyone who fell so hard so fast… maybe Chuck Liddell?
yeah chuck is struggling but at least he isn’t trying to feed himself cans. Cro cop man..what can anyone say this man was one of the best fighter to watch he never had boring fight up until the eddie sanchez fight he started showing signs dissimilar to his style. its gotta be hard on the mind…well how about David louissue and lee muray they both seem to fall.
Listen up Boys: BUy this dVD. I had to get this dvd from Japan, and it was SOOOOO Worth it!
Great event, I got the box set of the entire tournament (all 3 rounds)…This is a must own dvd…It would have been better if they released this event as a box set so that you could just own the entire tournament…This is a MUST OWN DVD!!!!
I love Mirko vs. the punk. You actually get to see Mirko unleash with his hands.
