    UFC fans don't realize that Cro Cop had 7 surgeries in a row after he won the Pride GP title in 2006, because his plan was to basically retire after that. He spoke about this many times in interviews and podcasts, how his dream was to win the Pride GP and then quit and basically deal with all the injuries he collected over the years. But then UFC offered him an amount of money he couldn't refuse and went there anyway despite having constant surgeries and not being able to train properly. The man couldn't lift his left leg above his waistline for a year, a fighter that relied on kicks. That's why you didn't see him use his kicks at all in several of his fights in UFC. So what we saw of him in UFC was a bland shadow of what he used to be in his prime, because for the entirety of his UFC career, he was not able to train properly, he was NEVER fully healthy, and was always carrying post-surgery issues or injuries with him. He fought with totally messed up knees, totally messed up back, he fought one with a ruptured biceps and couldn't even flex his arm properly. If he hadn't gone for surgeries in 2006 immediately, and delayed them, and just went straight to the UFC after his 2006 Pride title, I'm 100% convinced he'd be the UFC HW champ in 2007 or 2008, because the Pride lineup at the time was MUCH stronger than the UFC lineup. Pride vs. UFC was like UFC vs. Strikeforce later one, UFC was the inferior organization by all standards in 2006 and prior to it.

One is that they pay you one time good amount of cash (hunt was offered million if i remember correctly) and you dont come to the ufc. Second was that you fought your contract out with lesser pay but you got chance to continue fighting in the ufc if you fought well. Don't know what is the case with Crocop but i doubt ufc would want to make him look bad on purpose because he was big star at the time and would be great draw in the ufc if succesfull.

    I've never seen anything like Fedor. It was won when he got in the ring, just taking people apart at will. When he did catch something crazy like the Randleman suplex or that fucking bomb from Fujuta it was like Michael Myers completely unaffected, always in control. I think the day I saw him lose to G was when I lost all interest in the sport like sometimes happens with new generations and changes (Pride rules fostered eminently more entertaining and offensive battles, now it's cages, no Chute Boxe strikes, all new faces, etc.) Pride was all fight to win. Yellow cards for being too careful. The skills were cream but they danced with the self regard of drunks in a bar. I don't think that will ever be replicated, cer tainly not after the mainstreaming of UFC.

That's one of the things he literally talks about on a daily basis, yet he is still training, doing bits of sparing, and he's still a machine when it comes to physical readiness, though he's close to 50 years of age. These days he's mostly focused on seminars and teaching, but he's still pretty much active in sports. His injuries are mostly under control, but it did take toll on his body for sure. I know that he had a lot of trouble with a water in his knee, but apart from that, he lives pretty much a normal day to day life. And if you ever plan to visit Croatia, let me know. 🤘

    What many people dont realise is that at the time when Mirko fought Bob Sapp it was on the same level as when our national football team is playing. And that is saying a lot in croatian terms. Croatia has around 4M people. His matches were mostly at 2,3,4 AM in our time zone. Im willing to bet that at least 500k people stayed up and watched the Bob Sapp fight live. I know I did. And those who didnt, have heard about the fight result within 2 hours of waking up. He literally had an entire country cheering him on. He is our sport legend. I actually sold a sofa to him one time. He is intimidating. But overall seems like a good guy. Legend!

    Most dangerous kick in history. Minimal windup or hesitation. His plant leg stays relaxed and his body stays upright. Easily reaches the head of the giants he's fought. His quad extension is so explosive that his foot is actually externally rotating at the moment of impact, you almost never see that, guys usually externally rotate right after impact to help them rebalance.

    Cro Cop could've destroyed anybody (including Fedor), but he's always been super-tenative. Sure, he could go off from time-to-time and just overwhelm guys. But mostly, he played things very safe & defensive -- which honestly, probably served him well against certain opponents -- but when you have that kind of power, one touch can alter the course of a fight. He didn't need volume, he just needed to land in the right spot. But he could go for leg, body, or head and basically have the same devastating effect. To a lesser extent, Pat Barry was the same way. Just so nervous about the takedown that he wouldn't pull the trigger. The thing is, if you DO pull the trigger, and it lands just right, game over. Even if it doesn't get a knock-out, they're so fucked-up, it changes the whole dynamic of the fight. Also, his ground & pound was incredible. Just rarely got to use it.
