Cro-Cop will be entering the UFC in Febuary. If you have no idea who and what he is about, he is a sambo and kickboxing fighter out of Croatia. He is the second most dominating heavyweght in the world behind Fedor. He battled Fedor to a decision and has beaten Silva 3 times all by way of Knockout. Not to mention he hit Bob Sapp so hard that he started to cry! He may be only 210lbs but he is choosing to fight up in the heavy's to prove that he is the best in the world. Watch out boys and girls, because there is a new big gun in town. What do you all think?

Its so amazing to think that guys like Sapp and Hunt get knocked the F out by him, but then people say you can't beat them on thier feet. One hits all it takes from Mirko... Hope those heavy's got good dentists!

Btw did he really KNOCK hunt? or did he win by score, ive never seen him get knocked even from insane beatings. Great highlight btw, goto love those left highkicks Seen Mark hunts match against Fedor in Shockwave 2006? Was pretty impressive i thought, very even until he ended up in that armlock(kimura?).

I heard a rumor saturday that "PRIDE" was hurting, that's why "Rampage " and "Cro-Cop" were coming to the UFC. Is this true?
Now if they could get a few more of these guys from "Pride" the UFC's ratings would sky-rocket.

It is about time, the UFC is finally getting some nasty HWTs. I fell a sleep during the Tim Siliva - Jeff Munson title fight!

No PRIDE is not hurting... In fact they are losing fighters because of the fact that they are doing so well that fighters feel they are not given the shot at fights because the fighter pool is to deep in each class.

Cro-cop has the best high kicks bar none, but his ground game stinks, that being said you have to get him there first. I do not think he will walk through Silvia though, he is top 2 or 3, but I dont think he will rule the roost. Fedor though would IMO. He is so complete, with fast awesome hands. Rampage beat Chuck Liddell, so they will make sure topromote the heck out of that. BUT- I dont see Chuck losing until someone can strike with him. These are just myopinions, maybe wrong, I love the sport though!

Any man who can walk through Mark Hunt and Andy Hugg will walk through little old Tim Silvia. Go read what Silvia said about Mirko... All of this mumbo jumbo about how he is going to put him to sleep. Talks big, but he is shaking in his boots!

www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=2326I don't want to jump in and be a know-it-all but, Cro cop lost a split dec to Mark Hunt. I also think he has a chance to beat Sylvia, but Tim isn't going to roll over and just quit because of his left kick. Remeber Mirko has a questionable chin, Kevin Randleman proved that. I do like the possibility of a 205 match up with Chucky after he beats Jackson.

Second fight, but the first fight saw Mirko knocking Hunt out.
