This fight took place April 28, 2002 and was very early into Cro Cop's career. Silva was top Dog at this time, Cro Cop and Fedor were still young in their careers but this was Prime Vanderlei!
@@CarlosDavidbjjdoesnt matter, wanderlei took Cro cop down many times but Cro cops defense on the ground was very good. There was only one Takedown from Cro Cop but because he favors Standup.
You are joking right? This is a Middleweight x Heavyweight fight and still wanderlei managed to win in every way possible. This “inexperienced fighter” argument is very risky, because it can backfire. I could argue that Wanderlei lost their 2nd fight just because Mirko was in his peak and Wanderlei had already 39 professional MMA fights suffering 2 TKO’s and, therefore, was not the same anymore. But of course I wouldn’t use that as an argument because it would be pretty cheap. So let’s not make excuses and admit that Wanderlei did beat Mirko in the 1st fight and that Mirko beat Wanderlei in the 2nd, fair and square both times.
@indianna.777 Your analysis on their 2nd fight is exactly what happened bro, Wanderlei was getting old and coming off his first loss in years to Arona, which he would avenge but Silva was not in his Prime vs Cro Cop 2 and Cro Cop most definitely was in his at this time in 06, After this fight Silva would bounce back back but Ultimately lose against a man he had 20 pounds on in Matt " Hendo " Henderson who was 185' soaking wet at that time and fought Heavyweights on the regular, so this argument " o Cro Cop was a Heavyweight and bigger than Wanderlei blah blah " bro Pride had fights like that on the Regular as they had " Openweight " Tournaments for years, it was until the last like 03' or so did Pride actually have weight classes and Weight Class Tournaments ( there weight limits were wayyy different than UFC , 10 Lbs separated nothing ) BUT they still held the " Open Weight Grand Prix " and even though a title wasn't always won unless the Champ was literally in the Finals, that was still a Prestigous Acalade
Crazy how Silva kicked where he thought Cropcop would be if he tried to get up and not at him while on the ground. High IQ by both fighters...that welt on Silvas ribs in the 3rd was sick.
Wanderlei é muito monstro,total respeito por esse lutador que fez historia vitoriosa no pride, e ainda aceitou lutar com uma maquina mais pesada do que ele o Mirko é peso pesado outra categoria
@@jonstiffer4994 Pride had more steroids than every fighter in the ufc combined. This guy is a Jon Jones fanboy, and kinda a dick for bringing it up, but bringing up roids for Pride is kinda dumb.
The skill level was lower, and the balls on these guys was unmatched. Every fight was a brawl, and it was all the better for the fans. Pride was such a good time, Fedor's run is the stuff of legends.
Silva fought against one of the greatest kick boxers of k1 and had the balls to enchange a little bit. In terms of conquering glory, Wanderlei Silva should be consider as one of the greatest fighters of all time
If there had been judges , Wanderlei would have won for sure. I do not know how much time had passed before the 2nd match....but it must have been years I would think. I did not watch MMA and UFC back in the early days...but these 2 were beasts. Cro Cop looked much better in 2nd fight. My son watched back then, and Wanderlei is his all time favorite !!! Two legends indeed !!!!!
Wanderlei would lost if there had been judges. Pride was not wrestling money show like corrupted UFC, what counted most was damage done. Crocop did more damage. This is why Crocop concentrated only at throwing his kicks.
@@banjiman9869 how do you know he was holding back did he tell you that or did you read his mind why would he even hold back when that fight was clearly one sided in favor of Wanderlei lol
Sliva gets little respect due to the PEDs, but he fought and mostly beat a murderers' row of prime or near-prime fighters: Cro Cop twice, Rampage 3 times, Sakuraba 3 times, Arona twice, Hendo twice, Belfort, Mark Hunt, Tito Ortiz, Leben, Tamura, Mike Van Arsdale, Yoshida, Guy Mezger, Chuck Liddell, and others. He sacrificed his body through so many entertaining slug fests whether win or lose. In his prime, he was a fearless wrecking machine. Under Vale Tudo rules, he was deadly.
Wanderley mostro ! Se tivesse mais jiujitsu seria imbatível nessa época . Mirko era o lutador de um golpe só ! Chute lateral na cabeça e costela além de aguentar muita porrada .
@@ignisimber2818 If you want to know how devasting leg kicks can be, do some search and watch some of Cung Le kicks especially the one where he broke Frank Shamrock arm....if cro cop were to train with Cung Le 😂....terrifying or not?
There could be 1st round highlights or 2nd round highlights or last round highlights. There's 1st half highlights and 2nd half highlights with sports videos. Wtf are you talking about? Are you new to the RUclipss?
É nítido o favoritismo no Mirko C. Muitos aqui nem analisam tecnicamente e imparcialmente a luta. só ficam alardeando a admiração por Crocop. Não tem como negar a fibra de Silva, ele enfrenta uma lenda com sangue no olho sem exitar. além da técnica e força que demonstra. Vamos lembrar também da diferença de peso favorecendo o Mirko.

It's the 2nd fight 4+ years later where Cro Cop dominated, that's the one most people remember because Cro Cop won the Grand Prix that year. This fight was 2002 and very early in Cro Cop's career. By the 2nd fight was Cro Cops PRIME and a older Silva
Господи,зачем 2 боя понадобилось? У Силвы нет шансов, слишком уж крупный и мощный хорват,одного избиения было бы достаточно. Это мисматч,и лёгкие деньги для Крокопа...
Grand Prix Tournament style in Pride and their roster was so packed with talent , Silva, Fedor, Sakuraba, Ricardo Arona, Rampage Jackson, Dan Henderson, Minotauro Nogueira, Rogerio Nogueira, Cro Cop, Fujita, Don Frye, Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr, Guy Metzger, Mark Hunt, Kevin Randleman, Alistair Overeem and More!......you can see how with Tournament style, it took 3 years for the rematch
Mirka had to fight a Lil dirty just to manage, damn near tried to push Wanderleis head off in that clinch and the last one he was driving he knuckles into his throat to get out of the clinch
Crocop could've broken Silva via snapping and breaking his joints and ligaments on his limbs as soon as the fight started, he was holding back and still did the most damage.
And that's not being dirty lmfao, thats legit what he's trained to do, all formal stuff. It's fair game, when only weight is the equal factor. That's it. Your skills are your own to hone and sharpen. Crocop was molded to KILL. Not Silva.
@@banjiman9869 if it's that easy why it didn't go down? You sitting here batching about what ifs and shit, plus mf I know he used train a whole legion of people, that ain't got shit to do with once you're in that ring, cause experience wise yes it'd valid. But if he kills somebody in the ring on purpose his contract is gone and he's going to jail. But either way it's dirty fighting and I do mma so I don't want to hear nothing from you if you don't get yo ass on the Matt too

Wanderlei found his MASTER!!!
Mirko lost.
Probably my favorite fight of all time. Im a cro cop man all the way, but damned if this wasnt just an even draw of a fight
Silva landed more significant strikes and completed the only 3 takedowns in the bout. Cro-cop would get his revenge but he knows he lost this fight.
"Full fight highlights" - that's a contradiction in itself. There can either be a full fight, or there can be highlights.

É nítido o favoritismo no Mirko C. Muitos aqui nem analisam tecnicamente e imparcialmente a luta. só ficam alardeando a admiração por Crocop.
Não tem como negar a fibra de Silva, ele enfrenta uma lenda com sangue no olho sem exitar. além da técnica e força que demonstra. Vamos lembrar também da diferença de peso favorecendo o Mirko.
Foi emocionante esse confronto.
Essa luta achei que o Wanderlei foi melhor
Só vc viu técnica, eu vi só um louco partindo pra cima de qualquer jeito.
o que vi foi um cara saindo machucado e o outro aguentando porrada
Crocop..uma frieza incrível.. e um chute de esquerda poderoso.
I remember watching Mirko as a wee lady thinking he would be the scariest to fight with those kicks
