let me guess

No they didn't say much more then an injury that is going to require surgery. Rumor is a recurring hip injury.

well thats too bad but honestly i had no interest in Mir vs Nog 2 so this is kind of a good thing in disguise

Sweet, Mir will show Barry how men get jobs done.

Then Duffee will show him how men get jobs at dairy queen.

I prefer to see CC than Nelson, though I was impressed with Nelson's toughness, I am hoping CC continues his new scheme and training progam.

This is a big break for CC. It's actually a winnable fight. Depending on Frank's size coming in, I'm not sure if he will be able to take this one to the ground. Frank's striking looks really good now, but CC's been K-1 for a decade. Can anyone's stand-up game cover that much ground? Probably not. This could be Wolf's wet dream.

Not sure Mirko can land that kick with the speed and power he used to,kinda noticed it in his last fight.I think Frank will take him to the ground and submit him.

Cro Cop is shot, Barry should have finished him when he had him knocked down.

What I want to know is will Mir be keeping his weight lifting training for this fight, or will Frank be back around the 230lb region ?

I say frank comes in at around 242...

and could someone remind me when Mir picked up a good TD? CroCops sprawl is underrated

I wouldn't be shocked if Mir knocked Cro Cop out standing.

It could go both ways, mirs chin is not that great, and most of mirkos shots are power shots.

You won't be laughing when Frank pulls it off.

Barry knocked Cro Cop down with strikes.

Frank has improved his striking alot in the past couple years, and during that time Cro Cop has declined and not had an impressive victory in the UFC.

If this was a prime Cro Cop it would be a completely different story.

Cro Cop: "I am aware that I am not going to be 100-percent for this fight because in this sport five weeks notice is basically last-minute notice. But I know the UFC had no other solution and so I could not refuse the owner of the UFC, who has made me financially secure, or the UFC fans, who I do not want to disappoint."

This is a better fight than Mir vs. Nog but I think it's still a win for Frank.

LOL Barry's hands are 100 times faster.


As if Mir is going to land another overhand right of doom thrown from way behind is ass again or some shit. CC rocks him with a left hand and follows him down with punches.

It will look something like the Vera fight.

Cro Cop's reflexes aren't exactly sharp these days.

Wonder how big Mir will be for this fight.

Strikers don't last as long as grapplers in MMA. Nog will be around longer than CC.

That is usually because strikers take more damage. CC hasn't taken as much.
