Frank Mir: Every advantage is mine (vs. CroCop)

Former UFC heavyweight champion, Frank Mir gives his thoughts ahead of his upcoming fight against Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 119. As far as he’s concerned the Croatian doesn’t have a single advantage in this one.

“I think Cro-cop is still the same individual we saw in PRIDE. I think a lot of guys have seen enough tape on him to know that if you walk away from him or stand there in front of him you could be in for a dangerous night because he still has the same leg he always had.”


Mirko 'Cro Cop'
“He has a lot of speed and quickness… Mirko is very good on his feet; I’m not bad on my feet either. Add in the wrestling that I have been working on, the jiu jitsu aspect, he has many more things to worry about. Once that cage door shuts every advantage is mine.”



“I don’t see anywhere I don’t feel comfortable with Cro-Cop – I can beat him in more ways than he can beat me.”

Mir was originally due to rematch Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, but a hip injury forced the Brazilian to withdraw from the fight

Frank Mir FTW!

Frank Mir is god.

Just another Pride HW getting ready to get dealt with by an old school UFC HW.

WAR FRANK!

Couture vs Nog was competitive.

It was competitive...apart from all the knockdowns and submission attempts in Nog's favor.

Sylvia vs Nog was competitive too.

But other than Mir Nog I which was the product of a staph infection and a blown knee, the Pride vs UFC battle at HW has been a once sided Pride beatdown at the end of the day.

I do give Cro Cop a better shot at beating Mir than I give a staph infection free Big Nog.

This is actually to me nearly a pickem fight. I really dont like Mir but I do think he pulls it out in a very tough fight.
