NightStalker3 · 01-31-2007, 12:31 AM

yep, this dude is unreal. looks like a fucking assassin.

**sniper** · 01-31-2007, 12:36 AM

I did my youtube research on this animal after ufc 66 when they promoted 67 and said he'd be on the card, I can't wait to see this guy in action, his kicks are lethal.

RMPGP · 01-31-2007, 12:42 AM

He's the closest thing to Fedor UFC will get.

hes the closest to fedor there is

fedor and cro cop are unbelievably good. heavyweights with the skills of a smaller fighter. fedor will probably go down as the best MMA fighter ever, and cro cop just behind him.

a few fedor emelianeko highlight reels to those who havent seen him.

hopefully we the see the rematch some day. cro cop might be able to take him now. two eastern european savages with zero emotions in the ring

NightStalker3 · 01-31-2007, 01:10 AM

Fedor vs Mirko longer version, looked fairly even

Mirko's a beast... PrideFC definitely has the better heavyweight division, but Cro Cop coming to the US does help alot... Heath Herring was supposed to help the UFC heavys too, but um - well, yeah...

I just can't wait to get that belt away from Sylvia... I don't care who it is... Mad that Brandon Vera got passed over for the shot, but happy Randy's back to hopefully take it at UFC 68...

fedor beat him at his own game, had got the better of the standup, and ground.

fedor cuts easy. its basically his only weakness. imo cro cop is better now than he was then.at the same time fedors hand was severely broken so his punches werent nearly at 100%. who knows whod win today. thats the only thing that sucks about him coming to the ufc.

DanaReevesLungs · 01-31-2007, 01:51 AM

I've never understood how a guy that out of shape looking could win like he does....but then again, he hasn't faced anything like Cro Cop. I thinking first round beating.

who are you talking about sylvia?

DanaReevesLungs · 01-31-2007, 02:18 AM

nevermind....I totally fucked up before seeing who was fighting who.

thegreenninja · 01-31-2007, 02:19 AM

I've always liked the other Emilianenko brother, with the bad tats.

( . Y . ) · 01-31-2007, 02:58 AM

Ufc hw division looking really good, Randy coming back, Heath even with the bad first match, Brandon Vera up and coming, and AA still in there.

i hope crocop can adjust to the ufc rules of no soccer kick and kneeing a down opp.

I'm looking more toward a Crocop vs. Couture match than crocop vs. sylvia

I agree... Fedor was a little too aggressive in his standup, Cop gave him a lot of room to work cause he had to respect the takedown so he played Defense standing. Now that Cop is more experienced in MMA I think he would go for a KO more aggressively.

mendozathejew · 01-31-2007, 07:14 AM

fedors hands were broken in the fight with cro cop. in the first clip I posted in this thread you can actually hear his hand cracking on that negros skull. he went to some shitty russian doctor and didnt get it healed properly til this past year.

so fedors ground and pound would be much better. and I dont think cro cop would fight the rematch petrified and running away like he did in the first fight. its depressing to talk about hoping the rematch happens

Melk · 01-31-2007, 07:23 AM

Mirko Cro Cop is going to the UFC because the alleged Japanese mafia influence in PrideFC ruined Pride's profitability. It's a shame really... no PrideFC New Year Eve special last year because FujiTV didn't want their image tarnished by the Sopranomotos.

Mirko is easily one of the best still active in MMA. I hope the UFC gets the most out of him.

Well you won't find out if he did this first fight in. Don't blink or you'll miss the whole thing.

Sylvia might not be rock hard but it doesn't mean he's not in good shape. I mean, there is a genetic element that comes into play man. Not everyone is built to have an 8 pack.

I train...and while I'm in very good shape ( I could fight for 20 - 30 minutes right now if I had to, which is saying a lot if you've ever been in a fight) I still have a little bit of a belly. I'm working on it, but I don't know if I'm ever gonna be LL Cool J style ripped.

OH, and speaking of fighting.

I'm fighting on Feb 17th. Go to my myspace for details. I'll appreciate any support I can get.

d0uche_n0zzle · 01-31-2007, 10:11 AM

That non-ripped look is actually an asset when fighting, IMO. It's extra fuel to keep you going if the fight goes long.

Cybouncer · 01-31-2007, 10:42 AM

Look at Fedor, he's not ripped.

As Joe said, some people are just not genetically inclined to have be ripped, that doesnt' mean they are in bad shape.

Although I don't think Sylvia stands a champ against Cro Cop, I don't think he's the piece of shit you guys are making him out to be. I thought he was much better before his arm snapped like firewood though.
