Fedor vs Mirko

[size]

Anyone dancing with anticipation to see this match? I know I am.

If Fedor can get him to the ground its over but if they stand there striking who knows whats going to happen

Iif they stand there striking who knows whats going to happen

This is what makes MMA so exciting.

Fedor never shoots in for takedowns, rather he uses his striking to close the distance into a clinch. Everyone who has fought Crocop tries to shoot in without setting it up so it's easy to sprawl. Fedor has a good chin as shown in his fight with Fujita where he got rocked while Crocop's is somewhat suspect. As long as Fedor can avoid the left kick he'll win easily, only problem is he keeps his hands somewhat low. I'd like to see Fedor work in Crocop's guard and just pulverize him into the canvas.

As for the GP I want to see Overeem take it as I need a good laugh.

Yes I am def dancing with anticipation to see this match as well.

Just gotten into Pride and this is going to be the ****

[Grassroots082]

My fav MMA fighter in the heavy division is Mirko but I think Fedor will take it. Cro Cop doesn't have a ground game AT ALL but damn I love to see him stand up and fight. My money is on Fedor.

And yes I've been waiting to see this match for quite some time.

Mirko is superstar and an athletic phenom but Fedor is the more proven fighter. A win over Mirko means Fedor has beaten the best grappler (in Nog) and striker on the planet.

I just recently started watching UFC again, how does Frank Mir compare to Arlovski?

After Mir's accident, no one knows if he is ever going to return or how good he will be. He was supposedly coming back in OCt. but that has now been pushed back to Dec.

[ersatz]

I don't think Pride wants Arlovski as they have a solid hw division. Pride offerred to send CroCop and Kharitonov to the UFC but of course they(UFC) declined. Either one of them could run through the UFC's hw div. Since Mir was stripped of his title I don't think he will return this year as he doesn't stand to gain anything. He needs a few warm-ups so he'll probably get Eilers early next year.

Man I was so pissed when Cro-cop lost...his problem is that his left high kick is his only real weapon, and miliananko knew that and was well prepared. I think if he works on his ground game a little more he'll be able to win in another year or so.

Shogun Rua had an amazing night! At 23 years old I think we have alot more to see from him in the future...he has plenty of talent, I wonder if he could hang with the big boys if he adds a little weight to his frame?

It was nice to see Arona get his ass kicked, wasnt it? After the fight Arona said he accidently hit his head and thats why he lost the fight to Rua....he he "accidently" hit is head on rua's fist about a dozen times lol

his problem is that his left high kick is his only real weapon

i disagree. Did you see hmi break the orbital of Bob Sapp with a straight left? CroCop was a dominant force in K1 and is an excellent fighter.

The problem is that he fought Fedor. Fedor may be the BEST EVER.

but at the same time, fedor's strategy of keeping mirko moving so that he couldnt get off the kick really handicapped mirko....You could tell he was trying to force the left high kick a few times especially in the beginning of the fight...

I'd agree with this. Mirko is great, Fedor is just from a different planet....

Russian bath house, not a big deal. You, however, found the photo.

Gay or not, who cares, Fedor is a dominant MMA fighter and athlete.

[ersatz]

Fedor is the greatest hw ever, his only weakness is his proneness to get cut. He executed his gameplan perfectly and set up the takedowns with his clinching skills. I thought he would have punished Crocop more while in the guard though.

[Kristopher]

Fedor is a cyborg sent back from the future to dominate MMA.

that is all
