Mirko Crocop :: Forever - by logangee on Vimeo

Probably the best HL video I have seen of him. I don't care what anybody says he might not be the best MMA fighter but he is by far the most fun to watch IMO because of his amazing striking skills instead of the usual GroundNPound crap that you see with so many of the fighters such as the UFC's new poster boy Crock Lesnar.

they forgot one
but Crocop is one of my faves

axe kick @ 7:36 ftw, I haven't seen an axe kick like that sense I used to train, a good axe kick can do multiple things to your opponent, it can damage his face or break his collar bone, or just destroy his guard leaving him open to a follow up attack! Counter terrorism training definitly paid off for him everyone knows his roundhouse is death but very few know he can land axe kick in a full contact fight, pretty sick! BTW I will never pay to watch UFC stupid owner bought out the best fighting showcase in history! PRIDE


RIP PRIDE the best warrior event in the 20th century

CroCop hasnt been relative for years but its fun to remember how devastating he used to be.

Jay,

Why do you hurt me with statements like this?
Let me pretend he is still at the top off his game.

Steve,

This video is great.
Not a single person has been a top 5 fighter in MMA and K-1 other than Mirko. Tell me the name of a single EX UFC fighter has taken Fedor 15 minutes to a decision. Sure he may never be top 3 HW again, but I will always be a fan.
For anyone that is a fan of the axe kick and of Mirko please watch his K-1 fight with the late Andy Hug. "Blued Eye Samurai"

Andy was the master of the Axe kick and Mirko gave him a little of his own medicine.

By the time any ex-UFC guys get to Fedor, they are washed up. Look at Sylvia. KO'd by Fedor then KO'd by Ray Mercer and now riding around in a Rascal Scooter.

Andre "Glass Joe" Arlovski same.. KO'd by Fedor, KO'd by Brett Rogers. I hear he's working at the Waffle House now.

Fedor fears top competition but thats for another thread.

You know that's a chop, right? Either that or Big Tim has the tiniest feet in the world for someone 6'8"

Even if it is, its still appropriate.

Jay, do you honestly think Crock Lesnar is any better than Fedor?? He has what, a total of 4 MMA fights under his belt and the best competition he fought so far (Randy) was a guy that is 14 years his senior and about 50lbs lighter. If he really wants to prove something he should be the one seeking the fight with Fedor and something tells me if he wanted the fight bad enough that Fedor would have no problem making it happen.

Thanks for the vids John! It looks like Andy was a very exciting striker as well, too bad he passed away from Leukemia.

Yea, his leg kicks were just down right punishing. He was always exciting to watch. I remember the the welts on he left on Gonzagas rip cage after Gonzaga knocked him out.
