CC making excuses already

"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."

Damn my boy is making excuses already. He has a point but this does not make CC look like the champ he once was.

Bad Mirko, Bad, Bad Mirko!

Where is the excuse part? All he did is describe his decision to take a fight.

Not sure what the big deal is?

just saying being a cro cop fan of old its like he wants sympathy or some bull shit. just man up and say I wish I had more than five weeks but fuck it your going to see the baddest CC on the planet and Mir should be worried.

I take no issue with his comment.

I will not be 100% so when mir stomps a whole in him CC will say well only if I had more time I could of been 100%. sounds like an excuse to me.

If some of these old guys trained like most of the new guys, year round, they wouldn't see 5 weeks as barely enough time. Let's say Kenflo was asked to fight in 2 weeks as a replacement. How hard do you think it would be for Keith and Fariz to come up with a gameplan and adjust Kenny's training for a week and a half, before he started cutting weight? These guys like CC and Matt Hughes want to do the part time thing and currently MMA is trending, like the NFL and NBA, to a year round training schedule with a couple of weeks off here and there.

He isn't making excuses here but actually Kevin has a point, he doesn't sound confident. CC should do his camps in the USA.

So it's an excuse based off the words your putting in his mouth because you think he will lose? I need to learn to hear myself speak for other people in the hypothetical future. I'm missing out.

LOL what excuse? All he is saying that hes taking the fight on short notice, usually takes him 2 months at least to get ready for a fight

I don't see why it would take him so long to get ready. It's not like he is so well rounded he needs to know what to work most. Dude is a near one dimmensional fighter with good strikes and good sprawing abilities. Unless he walks around at like 340lbs what's the issue?

Fighters are not fight ready every day of the year, he needs to get his conditioning back up... it doesn't help that hes been doing this for 15 years either

Most guys have 2 to 4 , sometimes 5, months notice in the UFC on their opponent. That's why he says a month and week is shorter than usual. Is he wrong?

I'm not saying he should be in fight shape every day but why is 5 weeks not enough time to get your shit together?

Im just a CC fan and he just doesnt have balls anymore and this is my way to vent I guess. Thanks for all the feed back
