name them........

I always thought his ground defense was really good (though not evident with the Gonzaga fight) but evident in past fights with guys like Coleman, Fedor had a little bit of a hard time taking him down, etc. I say Cro Cop needs to come in there without being too "Mr. I got this fight." Though I say he should stick to the things he's good at such as Stand up and probably improve that some more if theres any improvement needed.

I'd have to say putting strikes together on the ground.

Because Arlovski can knock people out when he's in gaurd...........we've seen that before. I don't know why Mirko doesn't.

Oh and I'm not talking about GNP when he's finishing someone off he does that better than everyone Mirko does. I'm talking about punches from the defensive.

what i like about cro cop is his high kick to the head. 1 blow your gone. but seeing his performance against gonzaga was brutal.

first and foremost, he needs to get his head straight. the guy is inconsistent as hell. he came to the UFC with a bad attitude right from the get go, as if he was the one doing them a favor. yes, i know he's always been the type to stray from conferences and interviews, but the guy thought he was an untouchable superman the second he got to the states, and his contract with the UFC was going to be nothing more than a string of hilight reel KOs. he even admits to not training for use of the cage, which is pretty ridiculous.


...and he's lucky it was his right leg that got jacked.

block right high kicks

not getting kicked in the head would be a good start.

imagine if Gonzaga had been a true striker and not a jujitzu specialist...



yeah i kno Cro Cop would have been able to defend better if he knew Gonzaga could do that.


ohh yeah and he can start by training in a pentagon. Mirko its not Pride anyone people can use the pentagon against you!!!

Agree with this 100% he did have a that attitude thinking his fights in his contract was gon be a cake walk and he would get the title right away.


what i wouldve said......:D hah jk

he needs to keep his hunger and train for everything...he NEEDS TO COME TO THE FIGHT with a GAME PLAN....

-train his boxing a lil bit more and use his punches for once
-use kicks to set-up punches/stop take downs...not knock outs
-develop his sprawl again, or reserve it to where hes in better position
-establish elbows and how to defend aganist them on his back
-last of all, keep his cardio top notch

if he follows all this, he is future champ!

Every dog has his day.

I'm 100% sure Mirko could just as easily knock Gonzaga out in a rematch. In fact I'm sure he'll want one, and he'll dispose of Gonzaga.

That was just Lewis v.s. Rahman and that's all there is to it.

hey my dude....whats up!!! iam glad your still holding it down for the cro-cop fans....cro-cop will run thru gonzaga in a rematch, i agree 1000%....you fools dont realize how insanely powerfull cro-cop is when hes 100%, please watch the owgp if you forgot!

people can use the pentagon against you!!!

octagon!

Mirko was becoming a one dimensional fighter since he began knocking people out with that high kick. Look at the way he treated Sanchez. Give Sanchez a little more experience and he would run over crocop.

Gonzaga is a monster. That guy is big, powerful, and agile. That kick had so much power behind it, I'm surprised crocop is still alive. If they fight again, crocop will have to earn it.

I think Randy will upset Gonzaga.

When you gon learn?
Tim Silvia is gon whoop Couture's ass - didnt happen
GSP is gon whoop Serra's ass - didnt happen
Cro Cop is gon whoop Gonzaga's ass - didnt happen
Now u say Couture is gon whoop Gonzaga's ass...hmmm i dunno there bud.
Too many upsets so say stuff like that.

i stated that couture was gonna kick sylvia`s ass.....i never said anything about the other fights.....couture trains his hardest for every fight and is going to come 1000% for this fight.....i say it again, couture is gonna whoop gonzaga`s ass

block right high kicks

lol

CC needs to train in a goddam cage, with guys raining elbows down at him, Elbows made the huge difference in this fight, now he has to learn how to deal with them
I think he can easily still become champion, im not sold on Gonzaga yet and if he loses to Rany then GG isnt even top 10 material

i stated that couture was gonna kick sylvia`s ass.....i never said anything about the other fights.....couture trains his hardest for every fight and is going to come 1000% for this fight.....i say it again, couture is gonna whoop gonzaga`s ass

ya well that is good ya went for Couture, i was goin for him as well. Others counted him out cause he was old, Silvia was 6'8 ya know, all that bullshit.
Im saying to you that u should never count out anyone in this sport, especially with all the upsets goin on now. Gonzaga has a chance just like he has a chance against Cro Cop. If Cro Cop beat Gonzaga would u be saying Couture is gon get KO'd??? I would Cheer my ass off for Randy Couture but im not gonna say he will kick Gonzaga's ****en ass...I will say shit like that after i see it actually happen. I knew Gonzaga was a competitor for Cro Cop and had a chance because he came to fight, the ones that get their ass handed to them are guys that dont want to be in that octagon in the 1st place...like eddie sanchez that guy knew he was gon lose and cro cop was gon get his 1st win in UFC...thats what Dana does with newcomers.

I think Randy might get overpowered by Gonzaga, the guy will fight his heart out but I think it will go down like Barnett vs Couture did
GG is a big guy with skill, Randy is just amazing, this is gonna be as big as CC vs Randy would have been imo

all that bullshit said, I will never ever bet against Randy again, he never loses when he is supposed to
although I dont hold TOO much merit on his win against Sylvia, Tim was absolute garbage and most likely not in these guys league

what i said:D anybody with enough skill and smarts like Couture has can beat a shit pants like Tim Silvia
