![อยู่ได้แล้ว - LIPTA feat. Mirrr [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-9-hpntNym4/mqdefault.jpg)
Cro cop said in a interview that after this brutal knockout that he endured he flew home to croatia next day and in the evening he was already running in the hills training…thats what makes true champions
Bro, this is about how the icon knocked out cro crop, not about the loser here.
What’s wrong with you?
He would actually be back in the ring about three weeks later. He fought once a month after this ko loss.
Not an interview..was a podcast..
Except he wasnt a true champ, sadly
@@thrashingjustin he won the rizin, pride and k-1 grand prix championships you fool
What a freaking athlete he was and a true gentleman.
R.I.P. Kevin!
I don't know him, just from this fight, but can conclude he has a nice tactic, get the opponent down, keep him in a sort chin hold with 1 hand and finding the KO spot in the jawline of the opponent to just give it a couple of good hits for the easy KO, fighting starts with your mentality and he got the right 1, well deserved win here
@@bonnobomonkey he was the Mike Tyson of mma
Dude was a steroid freak
Cage entertainment on steroids, Africans are not gentleman , gentleman is from England.
Gentleman? He hammered crocop like 5 times while he was knocked out.
That speech by the commentator while Randleman celebrating is so lengendary.
I loved every second of that.
Mauro ranolla
The UFC not picking him up as a commentator is criminal.
Omg, that screaming
@@ddanielbragg88 why tho? Im tired of him yelling MAMMAMIA 24/7
I still remember how he threw Fedor on his head and Fedor continued fighting like nothing happened.
Had that been on the streets,,Fedor would have died
He still had the same blank expression on his face lol
Fedor's a T-800 tho
Really wasn’t his head it was upper shoulder
@@HotSauce-mn1mp Because fedor knows how to mitigate a fall
Im a crocop fan but Ive got to give it to randleman that guy is a beast. Man maxed out the agility stat lol. So quick
And also on the power stat. I've never seen anymore so powerful in my life.
Mirko at his prime was the scariest during the glorious Pride FC days. At the time Fedor was on almost the same bracket as the fans are anticipating for Fedor vs. Cro Cop until Randleman shut it down and later fought Fedor with a vicious slam before losing.
RIP the Monster.
i dont even know how that slam didnt sent fedor to hospital or cemetery wtf
@@flowrepins6663 Well you know, he's Fedor. He can't really be explained with logic when he was in his prime. Many champions refused to fight him because they just saw him as an unbreakable wall, and they didn't want to lose their reputation. He didn't even commit to specialized training before fighting his opponents, as is the norm. He just went into the fight, and adapted however he had to, to win.
Love seeing Cro cop get ko. He always get folded in the most brutal way
@@flowrepins6663 Fedor is Fedor.
@@flowrepins6663 no joke! That Slam was 110% perfect and extremely strong. Can't imagine how human being survived that.
What a legend. Kevin will always be in the hearts of mma fans around the world
Yes agree
ケビンはドンキーコング
Did he die from steroid use?
@@user-rf6fz1os8h なぜそんなことを言うの？
@@dylon537 no, he had bad staff infection numerous times over his life.
With how fast that left hook was and Cro Cop being a southpaw and having his lead right hand out infront there was no way he would have been fast enough to defend it. Beautiful shot. RIP Randleman
That and also Kevin had mirko thinkingabout the takedown
@@slicksilver9441 exactly. It wasn’t that cro was a southpaw, it was that threat of the takedown. This is why wrestling is quintessential.
Cro Cop was expecting a takedown instead of a punch, for sure.
if u pause right before the punch lands you will see mirko lower his both hands anticipating a low takedown and trying to grab randlemans head, leaving his chin in front of his body and completely unprotected, mirko should have been side-stepping each time he thought a tackle was coming and not stand in front of Randleman like that but he did not have the footwork to do that. or at least kick defensively but this was terrible from him to leave his chin out like that.
@@jaanjam8432 true before Randleman threw the hook Cro Cop stopped stepping to his left and squared up. His first mistake
Kevin is massively underrated
I think so too
Mauro going ballistic is epic!! He knew he was witnessing MMA history, only people who followed Pride FC religiously can understand what kind of upset this was at that time. I love Mauro's passion, here he allowed himself to be completely in the moment, Heath actually starts laughing while Mauro goes on and on. Randleman then goes on to give an epic speech! Love it!!
Lol this was the pro wrestling version of mma.
KEVIN RANDLEMAN HAS KNOCKED OUT… *MIRKO* … *CRO COP* !!!!!!!
I think Heath was laughing cus he was salty Crocop finished him with a liverkick and was happy to see Crocop lose.
@@YellowPlagueProductions I remember that Finnish! Heath was a strong guy but Mirko with his crazy upper-body strength almost manhandled him. You coul see the time delayed effect of that brutal liverkick. First Heath froze then his legs gave in and Crocop finished him.
@@YellowPlagueProductions no he probably just thought it was hilarious that dude was freaking out lol it is funny but I do understand the magnitude
Cro cop was back in action 3 weeks after this loss these guys are both legends
Nowadays going back into action three weeks after a KO loss would be considered dangerous, even illegal by Athletic Commissions nowadays. It was a different time back then.
@@madgavin7568 no shi*
@@jeffreypalton74 Worth pointing out.
That's why he had a stroke recently. You body can endure just so much.
He also beat Randleman by Guillotine in their rematch
He was a monster..big respect.
Kevin is Real
Mad hespect
Thanks to steroid
Yes he was a monster indeed. And Randleman wasn't bad either.
アゴにもらっちゃったからね
I love it when they post moments in MMA History. The new fans don't appreciate the old school fights like this.
The "new fans" are just millennial losers anyway
Rip Kevin legend you’ll be missed
No he won't...This steroids bloated junkie Kevin Randleman took so many drugs all of his organs shut down and died during a McDonald's job interview..
Did he die of steroid use?
@@dylon537 He died of major organs failure after years of extreme steroids and PED abuse
@@saccount-z3 how? He had a sickness
@@yoohooligan6080 ...that wouldn't have been exacerbated if it wasnt for steroids. You juice advocates don't want to accept that steroids are not safe. Ever hear of bodybuilders pneumonia? Coincidence, I suppose.
Rip Kevin Randleman dude was an athletic specimen back in the day
he jumped so high he knocked himself out on the way down before a fight 😂 man is a legend
@@ChriStayChiefin when did that happen?
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu Really?
@@jonbonesmahomes7472 I don't know. I was asking the guy who said it
He was on some good vitamin S.
Pride Elimination 2004 was epic. The fights were one of a kind.
Rest in Power Kevin Randleman you are sorely missed 🙏Redefining ground and pound with that one!
STEROIDS !
@@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm and you still can’t say rip, just admit that you are racist already.
Mirko cro cop je najjači ba
He was on massive doses of steroids.
@@Delta-gx4fmtrue , looks more like a bodybuilder than a fighter
RIP Kevin you will be remembered. You fought in the golden age of the greatest generation of fighters in MMA and proved to be a great character and a old classic warrior. I hope new generation of fighters take a page out of your book.
Greatest generation of fighters? Not only is that not true, it's not even possible with how much the sports evolved. However the first generation of fighters will always be special because they were like movie characters. Bizarre people participating in a crazy, bizarre new sport. Guys like Randleman, Coleman, Tank Abott, Ruten, both Shamrocks, Gracie, Fedor and crocop etc. Like superhero's or GI Joe characters. American wrestlers and brawlers, Brazilian BJJ fighters, Japanese shoot wrestlers
@@jeremylamovsky3669 You cannot compare that golden generation with today's not by far. They had different rules, were more aggressive, tougher and more skillful. Today the biggest names are defensive counter punchers who are running around in circles looking for an opportunity. That is very boring and bordering cowardice. UFC rules encourages that kind of behavior: you cannot kick your opponent while he is on the ground yet he can up-kick flailing his legs around, you cannot punch your opponent on the back of his head etc just to mention a few.
@@ComboMuster Well said brother. Today's mma scene is nothing compared to how it was in the 2000's.
@@jeremylamovsky3669I don't understand why you should comment on a topic you know absolutely nothing about? ☺️ Such is the fashion today. Either your eyes aren't working properly or I don't know what's wrong. Name me one fighter in today's top UFC who is half as fast and athletic as Randleman. At least one 😉 There's no point in even discussing strength.
Regards.
Pride was something else. I wish there was a way we could bring it back
just allow soccer kicks and that would be wonderful
Rizin is its reincarnation
@@IsNull0rEmpty does rizin have the same ruleset
@@madaxwayne both ONE and Rizin allow soccer kicks
@@madaxwayne I have watched RIZIN for 2 years now it’s exactly like PRIDE FC but elbows are allowed
When Cro Cop wakes up with 8 guys surrounding him 😂
Because he got absolutely near death destroyed 🤣
RIP. Biggest upset in the history of mma, at the time. Matt Serra and Michael bisping had great upsets but this is the first one that was truly shocking to me as a kid
And this is was when people should underrate kicking vs wrestling
*RIP Mauro Ranallo's mind. His reaction says it all. Legends.*
I never get tired of hearing him lose his shit over the KO 😂
Mauro Ranallo is one of the best MMA commentators period. A mixture of knowledge, tongue in cheek humour and pure passion always made his calls a joy to listen to. Even though he's not as good as he once was, the passion he has for the sport is still there.
Get this man a throat lozenge, he's about to lose his voice
@@MiketheNerdRanger same! I don't care about other's reactions to things, but his is gold.
@@madgavin7568 I couldn't agree more.
Жалко ушёл Кевин очень рано...... Светлая память тебе- ГЛАДИАТОР!!!!
накачался таблетками и ушел
@@lokits3468 он заразился устойчивым к антибиотикам видом бактерий MRSA, (резистентный золотистый стафилококк), долго лечился, несколько операций прошёл, потому что эти бактерии разъедали ткани. В итоге умер от пневмонии от тех же устойчивых к антибиотикам бактерий
@@user-eb6er7kl3o Ужас.
Randleman was a brutal monster in his prime if he got you down....
he was on FUCKING roids
@@trustinrain8801 so was everyone else back then
He'll be average in today's mma scene
@@trustinrain8801 your hero cry cop was on enough roids too
@@KG-ii2yx not as bad as mr. Roidman. He was on so much roids he ended up dying young. Karmas a bitch
Randlemans team definitely knew with a few takedowns attempts Mirko would throw that kick. Crazy how fast Kevin was with that left hook. It’s the ones you don’t see coming.
Beautiful
Upset wise on the feet this was like Khalil Rountree vs Gokhan Saki but x10. Rip Champ.
Rendelman was a great, spectacular fighter. He is forever in our memory.
RIP the legend Kevin.
Rip. Legit dude, even paid for my McDonald's in Tampa when I met him absolute gem 💎
Beautifully set up and executed. He circled out to avoid the power leg then drew him into the corner for a false takedown, then got him in the center of the ring to fake a takedown and throw the definging blow. High level fight IQ tp defeat a striker at his owm game, especially the legendary mirko cro cop
It was a brilliant punch. Set it up perfectly.
Respect to Randleman from France.
Sheesh I felt that hit through my screen 😳
Kevin was a legend amongst legens man, pride of the 90’s and early 2000’s was different. RIP
The golden era of fighting no doubt.
RIP kevin randleman, he was a monster indeed.
Kevin Randleman was awesome. He was one of my favorite fighters back when he fought.
They both have such talent as fighters,Legends!
That was the cleanest landed hook I have ever seen in MMA and lead one at that with twist of the hand as he connected. You dont see these very often because timing has to be flawless.
Definitely. The technique was flawless.
Randleman might as well have worn a sign saying "I'm roiding my ass off"... Ridiculous...
that left hook's angle was dope. very nicely setup by his previous takedown attempt. that hook was a hybrid between a hook and an overahand.
Чудеса, как. Император одержал победу над таким мастером после такого броска, не удивляюсь что после такого Фёдора признали киборгом!!! Хотя думаю последствия этого сказываются. Императору. Фёдору успехов всегда!!!
You won't know it from this video cause they didnt play the whole thing but he delivered probably one of the greatest post fight speeches like .....ever really
You'll get the feels hearing it.
"For you I'll go to HELL AND HEAVEN AND BACK!!!
I fight for you guys."
-Kevin Randleman
I had actually searched the video up like a few weeks ago or something but it was no longer up. UFC uploaded it a year or so ago but I guess they eventually took it down. That was the first time i heard it I think.
I think I was looking it up just to hear it again
Kevin Randleman was such a likeable guy. The fact he died young is so sad.
It's on youtube. Just go to Kevin Randleman induction montage video into the UFC Hall of fame. They play the entire post speech at the end. It's on the official UFC youtube page
When you look up explosive in the dictionary Kevin Randlenan pops up. Heavyweight size but moves like a Welterweight. Fastest big guy ever.
I love how he used the take downs to psyche him into moving his head into position for the punch absolutely beautiful fighting
This fight was the 1st fight in MMA that a high level Wrestler beat a high level Striker with STRIKING.... LEGENDARY FIGHT.
It's the fear of the take down that leaves the striker with their hands down and exposed for the wrestler to strike. It served Khabib well.
That Iceman training ❄️🎯💰 RIP
Yeah this was brutal
Randlemen was literally monstrous man on the street he'd do anyone man what a beast
1:15 great transition with the hands to strikes.
One of the biggest upsets in MMA history
Cro Cop ended up fighting nearly once a month after this ko. I think he fought three weeks later against Hiromitsu Kanehara. He would submit Randleman in seconds in the rematch on New Year Eve.
He also trained day after the match
He hits hard , his ground and pound with forearms was vicious
Kevin..legend
2 legends. Great KO by Randleman. RIP
The SPEED of that counter was amazing.
Cro Cop: I'm a slow starter.
Randalman: Deal.
Rip I loved watching him - absolute beast and always like he is on springs so explosive
My favourite fight was when he fought Fedor and slammed him on his head.
The lead up to that body lock was pure beast mode
Rest in Peace Mr Randleman!
Wow, what an absolute beast of a man😳
that punch was art.
RIP Kevin Randleman.
Красиво он его уработал.Покойся с миром.🙏
Нахимиченый Кевин. Вполне логично ушёл пораньше
Randleman slam against Fedor was spectacular; the man had some insane explosive power.
I miss pride fc and MMA and in the early 2000's. Truly the best time in MMA. You do not have fighters like this who are skilled, unique, and entertaining anymore. There are a few, but they are rare
Rest in piece and power dear Kevin!
Unforgettable
Huge Man, huge HEART! LEGEND! RIP
Wow. That was a frightening display of raw, brute strength.
Look how happy Chuck Liddell is seeing Kevin win, we truly lost one of the monsters of MMA
He was so strong, Mirco evev didn't understand what's happening 💪💪💪
Now give us some of Mirko's legendary KOs haha
He set that up, what a performance. That left hook was perfectly planted.
ufc fighters always outclassed Pride fighters.
Cro cop: water we dune hair?
KEVIN RANDLEMAN GRANDE LUTADOR, PENA QUE MORREU CEDO...
Bomba...
For someone from a striking background cro cop always naturally had a good takedown defense.
That was absolutely brutal
Back when real men used steroids☺️
Allowed to as well
This Kevin guy surely is natural
No one at Pride was.
🤏🥒💉💊🤡
One of my favorite clips ever in life, RIP The Monster
I’m speechless!
Rip Kevin
That knock out was truely legendary!
RIP Kevin Randleman.
He hit CroCop with the hand of God. Lol.
We needed those commentator camera 😂😂
He was so powerful...rest in piece
Short life, steroids, great life. But short.
@@alexbork4250 He wouldn't want it any other way
@@tommyhansen7600 maybe, but it's addiction. Some people want to snort cocaine whole life too
@@alexbork4250He died of staph not steroids
*Right leg hospital* 🏥
*Left leg cemetery* 🪦
This is the most perfect game plan I have ever seen
A wrestler's punch is the scariest thing ever
Kevin chocou o mundo com esse nocaute espetacular pra cima de um lutador perigosíssimo! Um ground and pound mortal. Ele foi muito inteligente em tentar a queda pra fazer o crocop ficar receoso de usar o chute.
E esse narrador é espetacular!
Vdd isso mesmo
@@alessandrodfn1031 🤝🤝🤝
the referee did a good job by stopping the fight immediately when Mirko was unconscious, otherwise we would have had a funeral for Mirko the next day.
What a great call and amazing upset
Kevin Roidleman was one of my favorites
Sad to see Marco Crokove go out like that
Eu me lembro dessa luta... Esse Kevin era um monstro.. O narrador muito bom..... Pura emoção.
O cara era a trembolona em pessoa
Essa época era foda só tinha cara bom hoje em dia perdeu a graça
Wow I didn't expect that.
We love You Kevin
R.I.P. WARRIOR 👌💪👊🔥
Mirko got Murked!!!!
( لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ )🖤
We need the entire Pride FC library on a separate channel.
Many people don't know that Crop cop wins in rematch against Kevin.
Yeah he did with nasty knees and finishing him off with a guillotine choke 3 mins in. Love and miss Pride. I bought every Pride fight DVD. I still have them all, as well as The Bushido Pride Fights too. So many legendary fights in Pride FC.
crocop is the king of rematches. never lost a rematch,
Randleman won when it mattered tho. 2004 heavyweight GP .
Stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cro Cop v Mr Steroids
go play with your bike
I remember using both of these guys a lot on the UFC game they made for the Dreamcast.
