I mean if you’re making a video about such a legend as Mirko Cro Cop, you should at least tell the full story. It looks like he retired after the Gonzaga loss, but the truth is that he won K1 Tournament, avenged his loss to Gonzaga and even won another mma tournament (Rizin). True fighter who gave so much to this beautiful sport!
What the hell is this after that fight with gonzaga he fought three times in one night to win k1 grand prix and rizin open weight grand prix he retired on a ten fight win streak and only lost like two time in 5 years.. If you want to talk about a legend don't skip his achievements and blood and sweat he indured... You made it sound like he lost to gonzaga and just retired he fought gonzaga years later killed the man with his elbows...
True, though the competition he beat wasn't elite (though there were some solid fighters in there). Still impressive for a fighter his age with as much wear-and-tear as he had at that point. Crocop's downfall in the UFC was the cage. So much of his style was based on cutting angles in the ring and unloading on dudes in the corner. He couldn't do that in the cage, which also hampered his exellent TD defense.
@@Kagemusha08 I also read that the cage was not favouring him, he was a little lighter then the heavyweights in general and the cage wall was not helping him at all.
Cro Cop vs Wandy is the best staredown in MMA history. First time ever someone looked more intimidating than Silva and Mauro's line "Silva looks like he wants to kill someone and Cro Cop looks like he already did" was the cherry on top. The fight itself was ok, we had to wait until their second one to get the epic KO but that staredown is one of my favorite MMA moments ever.
@@masteredwinepps3955 hahahaaaaaa Aliastar Overeem beat him up . , after that stipe beat fabricio werdum and defenndent his belt against AliStar Overeem. you must be a WWE hill billy fan
Unjustified video. Cro Cop redeemed himself against Gonzaga (dude who headkick ko'd him in the UFC). Not only did he redeem himself by outclassing Gonzaga and dominating him in the rematch, but also Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic also dominated other promotions and events. You should've included that in the video.
@@plisskennn for real man? have you seen how Gonzaga looked like hes ready for Friday 13th Horror movie. Cro Cop and Fedor Emelianenko are best heavyweights ever
Cro, cop was the legend in the pride and k1. Later en mma he was to old and a lot of injury stoped Him. For me the Best leg stricker in the all Time! Respect! 💪🇸🇮
Bro" Croatians are in General Among the Greatest Sportsmen ever. A Country bringing so many Talented Fighters, MMA, K1, Boxing, Basketball Players, Soccer Players, Tennis Players etc. when you think about that Croatia has around 4 Million People!! its Simply Astonishing...
Absolutely! Such a small population with top talent in many sports including waterpolo, handball, rowing skiing just to add to your long list. It is said that the city of Split has more gold medals per capita than any city in the world. Incredible talent, discipline, hard work, and mental toughness is drilled into Croatians at birth. It is punished severely with heavy shame if it isn’t adhered too, well that’s been my experience. Oh and BRUTAL honesty is given to you in all aspects of life as a main part of the culture. It sounds hard but it works, most of the time 🇭🇷
Cro COP had eight matches in the UFC. He beat both Gonzaga and Roy Belson in the rematch but in the Belator promotion.. After 2 difficult knee surgeries, he returned to Japan, made a 10-game winning streak and won rizin, won the k1 grand prix with Pride.. BRANKO THE TIGER CIKATIĆ is the first Croatian, MIRKO CRO COP, and Antonio Plazibat is the third Croatian to win the k-1 grand prix. Of course, Stipe Miocic is the son of an Immigrant from Croatia, Pat Miletic welter champion in the UFC as well.. Also many box champions coming from Croatia. 🇭🇷🇭🇷💪💪
I have respected the skills of this superb athletic warrior through his career.He competed and beat the best. Now he faces new challenges. He is a fighter !
He didn't come out of Prime But he didn't adapt to the cage and then the injuries.. I know from the interview that he struggled with a hard shoulder injury. Warrior!
Thank you for reviewing my Idol MMA fighter,Mirco's fight.You will really admire him .A superb style of punch using his left hand.with his kick also added to his ultimate ,unique victory!
You made it totally look wrong.No Fedor fight, no wanderlei revenge fight, no rizin, no Gonzaga and other revenges.Cro cop ended as a winner on 10 fights streak.
my fav fighter of all time together with fedor.Mirko was unlucky cause he started his MMA career somehow old and couldnt develop as good as he did in k1. Imo he should have stayed in k1 ,but thats another story.
Mirco was and is one of the best champions of all time. Rick kick hospital, left kick cemetery!!!! Joe Rogan said it the best his stare down vs Silva was the best in fight history. Thanks Cro cop
Just pips GSP as my favorite ever ! I am from Australia so I have huge respect for some of my South Pacific brothers Mark Hunt and Ray Sefo but Cro Cop ( like all 4 that I have mentioned ) always showed huge heart and character not to mention a skill set from hell !😎👍
The best and humble, good friends with many of the great fighters. I bet they have a good time hanging out and having a good laugh joking around. I wish I was in their circle of friends.
i see cro cop first like than watching,,but bro you skped a lot of his main fights,and most important he fought 3 times in 2 day to win a pride open weight championship
Skip: low kick Ho man choey or whatever, middle kick Bob Saap, also liver/midle kick Magomedov(sparing partner of Frdor), high kick A.Emilianenko, Gonzaga revenge, Big country revenge, Amir Alakbari final fight in Japan, Baruto, King Mo Lawal, and so on and on...stand up fights against M.Hunt, 2x Josh Barnett, and in K1 beating legends like Remy Bonasky. U fid skip alot... If Mirko went to UFC in his prime in Tim Sylvia era he would be for sure hw chhamp.
Not a word of fight with Fedor wtf?! Interesting thing is that he never lose in revenge fight about 10 he have, and retired with 10 win streak! So many things here missing, second fight with wanderlei and K1 GP in Zagreb 2016..
A lot of missing details to this story! You left so much meat on the bone! The Nog/Crocop fight was nearly finished in the 1st rd when CC landed his LHK but Nog was saved by the bell. Then Nog made a miraculous comeback. Crocop’s two most popular fights were vs Wanderlei and Fedor! He KO’d Fedor’s teammate and brother on his way to that shot and fought one of the most legendary fights against Fedor! And his KO vs Wanderlei is legendary!
Crocop definitely one of the greatest of all time, and a credit and asset to the sport and Bas Rutten once asked Crocop, "How is it your your kicks are so awesome?" Crocop answered saying that 3 times per week AFTER his workouts, he would kick 1000 kicks so that is 12,000 kicks per month in addition to his workouts so you cannot criticize his work ethic, and awesome athlete indeed.

Haha oh yea he’s a legend to say the least .. he fought the best of the best in his k1 days way before his pride days
This comment destroyed this guys channel lol.
He was the best among so many in that time in heavy division! He really was the best and this video does not tell the full story...Just saying..
agree 100%

Okay Joe Rogan...🫠
a legend who makes me very proud to be croatian, also a big reason for why myself i started doing martial arts
Forgot to mention he went back to kickboxing and won the K1 Grand Prix
And rizin championship lol all way out of his prime and would be fighting to this day if it weren’t for a stroke
Cro cop has the best staredown ever in history.
Dude has resting staredown face.

One of the best MMA fight:
Fedor vs Cro Cop! :-)

His super fight with Fedor is what brought me in as a fan. He was my first favorite mma fighter.
When Cro Cop joined UFC he already passed his Prime.
He didn't come out of Prime But he didn't adapt to the cage and then the injuries..
I know from the interview that he struggled with a hard shoulder injury.
Warrior!
Cro Cop is definitely one of my favourites of all time definitely in top 10 if not top-5 I really have to sit down and think about it
Thank you for reviewing my Idol MMA fighter,Mirco's fight.You will really admire him .A superb style of punch using his left hand.with his kick also added to his ultimate ,unique victory!
Mirko is among the All time greats. No doubt!
i have never seen anyone throws thats monstrous kicks and punches like Crop Cop does....simply outstanding.......
He’s one of the greatest fighters of all time
You made it totally look wrong.No Fedor fight, no wanderlei revenge fight, no rizin, no Gonzaga and other revenges.Cro cop ended as a winner on 10 fights streak.
Best combination of punching and kicking power
Mirko's hometown is only about 30 km away from my hometown :) Huge respect for Mirko
Cro Cop was the definition of a tough guy
...Mirko - one of da greatest fighters ever .
Mirko = Legenda 👍👑
my fav fighter of all time together with fedor.Mirko was unlucky cause he started his MMA career somehow old and couldnt develop as good as he did in k1. Imo he should have stayed in k1 ,but thats another story.

Croatian sensation and he was fighting long after that Gonzaga fight
The CroCop that went to the UFC had already had many surgeries and was not the same fighter. Remember him in Pride.
Best striker of all time
Bas Ruttens was absolutly enjoying commentating Mirkos fight vs Yamamoto ..
Cro Cop is legend - nothing more to add, period!
Mirco Cro cop is my fav fighter in this time
Right leg hospital
Left leg cemetary
1 of the best ever!
Legend 🇭🇷🇭🇷❤️❤️
Always enjoyed watching his fights! Legit fighter for life!
Just pips GSP as my favorite ever ! I am from Australia so I have huge respect for some of my South Pacific brothers Mark Hunt and Ray Sefo but Cro Cop ( like all 4 that I have mentioned ) always showed huge heart and character not to mention a skill set from hell !😎👍
The Croatiain Sensation 🥇👍
Fak ju, meeeen. Mirko is d Srbin boj
The Igor fight is the cleanest high kick KO ever IMO. Igor had the misfortune of being the perfect height for a devastating head kick.
The best and humble, good friends with many of the great fighters.
I bet they have a good time hanging out and having a good laugh joking around.
I wish I was in their circle of friends.
One who made this day mma
Mirko CroCop Filipović
Stipe Miočić
Pat Miletić
Warrior genes ⚔️🇭🇷
He represented Croatia at the Highest of Standards.
Just took a picture with him today, legendary.
Posten fer borac , bravo Mirko !
many don't even know that he lost some fights because he fought injured, he wasn't ready to fight, but Cro Cop is a beast with a big heart
Watch CroCop vs. Gonzaga 2
One of my all time favorite fighters. Up there with Gracie, Severn, and of course Conner.
i see cro cop first like than watching,,but bro you skped a lot of his main fights,and most important he fought 3 times in 2 day to win a pride open weight championship

Real legend.
U forgot the fight of the decade with fedor and second wanderlei fight
So bad for a Crocop Docu to forget this 😑
Fight with fedor was one of the best in mma history.. two of the best at the time and the baddest men on the planet
A lot of missing details to this story! You left so much meat on the bone! The Nog/Crocop fight was nearly finished in the 1st rd when CC landed his LHK but Nog was saved by the bell.

He KO’d Fedor’s teammate and brother on his way to that shot and fought one of the most legendary fights against Fedor! And his KO vs Wanderlei is legendary!
nog was never nearly koed in the end of the round, after high kick he fell intentionally, to lurk crocop going into guard.
Grande Mirko grandi tecniche unico eccezionale Mario Resia.
Mirko is definitely amazing MMA heavy weight. The only fighter that his left kick didn't work on was The Last Emperor, Fedor Emilianenko.
how do i feel about mirko?!?! he is my hero! haha cheers from peru
He is a savage this guy
where is the fight Fedor vs Crocop??? Best fight in history mma/K1
This guy was spec ops and an absolute killer for real
It's very simple how he become a MMA Legend.
Because I taught him.
I often wonder what would hurt worse a kick from Cro Cop or a punch from iron Mike
Mirko una vera leggenda nella mma.grande preparazione tecnica unica velocità sacrificio grazie grande Mario Gorizia
This BARELY scratches the surface, cmon.
This was epic
Filipowicz jest dla mnie mistrzem świata👍💪
istina
Love him
Juste rappeler que le Pride championship avait un premier round de 10 min! Puis deux de 5 min...
him and hendo my all time favs from pride
he is simply a Legend.......Crop Cop.....
almost cried when i seen Kevin Randelman
"Right leg hospital... Left leg cemetary!" When I die, I hope I uttered something in my life at least 1/2 as hard as this statement!!
Legenda sta drugo 🙋🇭🇷
On t aime mirko tu nous manque
he was awesome! simple
The best ever, legend with Fedor
Crocop is Allrounder complete fighter K1 and Mma is very rare example overeem and Markt Hunt respect on this fighters real legends
That kick
One of the greatest for sure 👍🏼🍻
I Love the dude !!! His defense was the Best !!!
Happy Birthday Mirko Croatia Cop
Mirko is still the beast 👊💪
i think these pride HWs ,in their prime, would own todays ufc division easily. Crocop, Fedor and Nog
Fedor 👍🏼
Mirco Crocop the ultimate fighting legend. Still hate watching his losses.
True legend one of the best
