Cro Cop has got a serious exterior, but he does have a good sense of humour. That joke about him head kicking Pat Barry in the head and him staring out a window for 2 years was pretty damn funny.
Mirko is a fucking legend. Couple of years ago, there was an insane TV show on Croatian TV called "Mjenjacnica" ("Exchange office"), in which ordinary people switched positions with celebrities. Mirko switched with a postman, it was hilarious. The guy is a great athlete, but he is also incredibly intelligent. He is highly eloquent and straight to the point kind of guy. Besides that, he is one of very few Croatian athletes that didn't get into any corruption scandals, although for four years he was a member of Croatian parliament (!). ruclips.net/video/b-L6i1ASWiA/видео.html
He has a goog sense of humor but like he said one, englich is not his native language and he dont speak it very well to put some more jokes and belive he is funny like hell
Hammering Hank I m from Croatia to, city of Dubrovnik.. and I assume you said that because I m making mistake in writting English?? I m never learn English in school and everything I know its from the street.. milions of turist people every somer vistit Dubrovnik,, my writting is bad sorry bro
@@CommodoreJ Joshie They understand the words perfectly fine, but unless you're truly bilingual, you somewhat "translate" in your own language, and it might not be funny in another language.. It is also true for the rest of a language, my favourite example is the French (whom I know well as you can probably tell from my name): they are often perceived as arrogant and rude by anglo-saxons especially, in my opinion, this is due to the fact that cynicism, negativity and overall criticism type-jokes are very common in the french culture (for us it's normal and fun). However in english (especially american english) criticism and cynical comments/jokes have a tendency to imply the author of the comment thinks he is "better" than the target of the joke. Therefore when a Frenchman makes a witty cynical joke to an American, the frenchman is only aiming to joke with his american counter-part, but it is quite common for the American to feel like the Frenchman is being condescendant/arrogant. This reaction of the french to belittle achievements of others comes from the fact that, overall, the french despise bragging to the highest of level. An example I've seen first hand: _ Normal conversation in english in a bar, 4 Frenchmen and 2 Americans, the Americans only really knew me upon entering the bar. _ _ [Talking about sports and illegal substances used in sports...] _ _ Frenchman 1 _ : - We lost because the All Blacks were all on steroids, not because of the ref, there's no way you can run that fast at that weight for 80 minutes (speaking about the Rugby World Cup Final) _ American 1 _ : - Well the fastest rugbyman on the planet is American and he's not on drugs because we have very strict drug tests, so it's perfectly possible they're not on drugs ! _ Frenchman 2 _ : - Yeah, yeah Carlin Isle, he plays Seven's. He would be about as useful as you on a Union squad ! Hahaha ! _ American 1 (offended) _ : - Why don't you come play football with us then ? We'll see who's useless. We all play rugby at an amateur level, my two american friends played american football, but played a little bit of rugby with us sometimes, obviously they're even worse than we are: it's not their sport ! American 1 might take this as an insult as in "You're utterly useless on our pitch !" which would imply Frenchman 2 is so much better than him. But this was never the intention of Frenchman 2, the joke would also work (in french) had he said "He would be about as useful as me/an octopus/a traffic light !", the joke was just that Carlin Isle would be pretty useless on a Union squad (debatable view), never did he intend on implying American 1 was useless in our games and he was better ! And because of this, the french have been viewed as arrogant for centuries.. But you know, we're the best, it's undeniable, we can't help it.. =)
I agree with you. I loved this conference. These guys are so great - both of them but ... because of the mutual respect these guys have for each other the fight was absolute garbage. Pat just admires Crocop so much he didn't go all in. Simply guys like this shouldn't be fighting each other :)))
It’s impressive how funny Cro Cop is and how good his delivery is and he’s not even speaking his own language. Imagine how funny he is in his own native tongue
you should watch that episode of Joe Rogan's podcast when Bas Rutten tells the story on how Mirko pranked Mauro Ranallo so hard he almost shat himself xD
Nurse? Isn't she just like 25? This was 8 years ago that means she's only 17-18, just graduated High School/1st year College. I always look up to those old blokes who scored young chicks, but now I'm a bit older, I only have disdain for them, Young girls are easily cajoled.
Faint Sherin she went to pats gym since she was 14. They met at 16 where he used her well known daddy issues, mental instability, and naivety to groom her into a wife. Pat was 30 at the time. I didnt know any of this until recently. Hes a weirdo
This is what this sport is all about! This is how world class fighters should act! Pure honor and respect for both of these fighters. This is also the funniest conference I've ever seen before a fight. Hehe.
Pat Barry is the best. A legend human. I wish he would come back to the UFC! A true martial artist with warrior spirit that always came to fight and leave it all in the cage!
this was good because of who they are. nate v conor was good because of who they are. how shit would it have been if nate v conor was all jokes and niceness
it's the UFC : the Ultimate Fun Championship. Even when they do shit like boxing without pads for fun, Crocops shows he can both laugh and be serious at the same time. He jumps helping his friend in no time, but without panicking, with the smile, like he's seen hundreds of KO's. Super-grounded, super-experienced, and super-fun. The video of Califonia Dreaming with Pat Barry brought me here
That ain´t true tho, they started dating when she was 17-18, when he fought Cro Cop they were just starting to date, of course they already knew eachother before that but they were not "dating"
@@mr.i6527 Pat Barry said at the end of 2014 that they were dating for almost 5 years already, so she was 17-18, Rose said that she thought it was between 2 and 3 years, so when she was already 19, the only thing for sure is that they met when she was at highschool
Yeah like he threw the fight against Cheick Kongo too? Barry seems to lack that killer instinct to end a fight once he's dominating. I think he made a good decision retiring.
What a cool, humble guy Pat Berry is. And I read he only started training when he was 21 yrs old...that's frickin amazing 👏. He lost against Cro Cop, but he did manage to knock him down twice 👏🥷✊️😄
I recall watching their fight, one of my fav fights of all the time, full of violence and friendship unironically! 😂 Later on that night, Rich Franklin knocked out Chuck Liddell with broken arm! Legendary card!

Pat Barry is hilarious. Cro Cop too, to make jokes in another language is a lot more difficult than it might seem at first.
PunchlineEverytime 4 years later hi
One thing I noticed foreigners had a hard time understanding were puns.
@@CommodoreJ That's not true. Puns are also stupid humor, we call it "american jokes" over here.

Fuck this made me miss Mirko...always such a joy to watch, great guy too.
+Plague Doc Isn't he fighting again? I know legend Fedor is fighting in April, maybe Mirko will be back too or is he on definate retirement?
LastTree08 Havent heard anything. but I doubt it.
Plague Doc Makes me sad just thinking we can't enjoy one more fight of Cro Cop... He is my all time favourite... No one haves his deadly high kicks..
LastTree08 He is the current Rizin heavyweight champ.
Angel Rodriguez Yes i know, i'm happy that he fought again. Thanks for your reply.
Both of them so humble and modest, good show on them.
This was so cool and respectfull.
Fucking a dude. Not like our days fighters
piet ikke Nice comment dude
daniel itshaki You mean fucking ‘right’ dude?
daniel itshaki I mean don’t get me wrong if you meant ‘fucking a dude’ hey whatever man
@@KungfooJoey he meant fucking A...
Mirko: "I'm ok,but they not" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Too bad Crocop entered the UFC at the end of his career!
It’s impressive how funny Cro Cop is and how good his delivery is and he’s not even speaking his own language. Imagine how funny he is in his own native tongue
He is known to be a big prankster also
He is really funny guy he done couple podcasts which last for like 2-3 hours in his native language lately
yea he is great in croatian very funny
dude kills on behind a mic and in real life
you should watch that episode of Joe Rogan's podcast when Bas Rutten tells the story on how Mirko pranked Mauro Ranallo so hard he almost shat himself xD
Pat got not just an autograph, but he's good friends with Mirko now.
I like it when stuff like that happens. Respect to both of them :)
cro cop: "yeh im ok but their not" hahaha
10 years later im getting this on my feed😅 Crocop, what a guy👌🏽
I love both of these guys. Cro Cop always has his calm cool humor, and Barry Is always hyped up ready to KO or be KOd. Turned out to be a great fight
Man I miss Pat. He is one of my favorites. Win or lose, he was always a great fighter. Take care bro & God Bless!
The last joke is so improv, so quick and ruthless like his left high kick
1:52 Balkanic reply: "HAAAA"?? XD
Kaze se "molim" Mirko. hahaha
lol
full balkan mode
Then switched back to American ""excuse me?" HAHAHA
Hahaha prvi pit kad je rekao AAA? je razmisljao sta ce da odgovori
That nurse happened to be Rose Namajunas and they lived happily ever after.
PussiesUnite and still going strong
Nurse? Isn't she just like 25?
This was 8 years ago that means she's only 17-18, just graduated High School/1st year College. I always look up to those old blokes who scored young chicks, but now I'm a bit older, I only have disdain for them, Young girls are easily cajoled.

Tony fergosun was saved by the bell vs Lee that's crazy and creepy happy Congo dropped his ass
#Andstill
Pat Barry could kick down a fucking tree.Ohh your frisbee is stuck in that tree?Let me call Pat Barry
Better call Saul in my opinion
This was around my favourite time in mma. It's a circus now.
There are too many disrespectful trolls in today's MMA fanbase.
These were the good ol days
This is what this sport is all about! This is how world class fighters should act! Pure honor and respect for both of these fighters. This is also the funniest conference I've ever seen before a fight. Hehe.
RUclips algorithm brought this up ten years later and I’m loving it. The classiest trash talk in the history of the sport 😂
actually, it's sit down comedy...:P
i laughed to this more than i should LOL
+Estermont Sinclair you must laugh easily
You gave me leukemia
Laugh out loud hilarious 😂 Such great personalities both of them. This has gotta be the best press conference I've ever seen come out of the UFC.
"Hes going to get one at least, and another one on saturday night"
Genius lol
MADE IN CROATIA!
Ljudina, Mirka mnogo vole i poštuju i ovde u Srbiji. pozdrav.
How do you know for sure? Maybe his parents were on vacation in some other country when they produced him?
Mirko Cro Cop was a fucking savage. And he was playful about it lol.
This is how the UFC should be, not insulting mans father, religion, nation etc. Take notes Connor.
The best respectful trash talk there was:) you have to love Mirko and Pat for this... I was laughing all the time wen i saw it live:)
"With Nurse" lol
No articles as such in the croatian language. Regular mistake by native croatian speakers
Gotta love Pat's honesty and the way he expresses his feelings haha
Pat Barry is the best. A legend human. I wish he would come back to the UFC! A true martial artist with warrior spirit that always came to fight and leave it all in the cage!
this is so wholesome. pat was such a fanboy there
One would not expect cro-cop to be this hilarious
Cro Cop in real life is guy who loves to joking. Really nice and funny person.
This is honestly one of the best pressers I've seen 😂
Mirko Cro Cop is a beast straight Legend
I love pats honesty
Mirko got jokes lol
Man. I remember this fight. 11 years ago, crazy.
Watch this press conference then watch Nate and Conor's press conference for 202 it doesn't hurt to show respect to your opponent
this was good because of who they are. nate v conor was good because of who they are. how shit would it have been if nate v conor was all jokes and niceness
Son your love for crocop is special win or lose fighting crocop is a special day.
Easily one of the most enjoyable fight I've watched...
Very wholesome 😄 That last comment from Filipović was hilarious! 🤣
Any man that can be funny speaking a foreign language has my undying respect. Imagine how funny that shit must've been in Croatian
Practically the same..
father time is the only unbeaten one, Glad i got to see these real fighters when the sport was on it's peak.
That was "sit down" comedy.
Cro Cop... A prankster and a joker is much more funny when he is a fighting heavyweight legend.
This is EPIC!
This is just so honest Fan vs Legend conversation. It's so respectful and also F**K*** HILARIOUS
Rose was turned 17 during this interview.
Pat scored fat
Two legends! 🙌
Both really likeable blokes
pat barry with the GOAT hairline
Cro Cop's been funny since he intimidated Maruo back in Pride
these two really had good vibing chemistry
These guys are the best much love from Toronto
FUCK I MIss Cro Cop!!
Two blokes who love each other and respect each other , funny guys.
Respect like that don't come every day... fucking love it
lol.man HD is on my list of my all time favorite people(not just favorite fighters).hes living the dream imo.all class
I'd give a million to be part of that road trip they went on. Getting into a road rage incident would be the highlight of my life
Fuckin Nostalgia with that intro.. Holy shit lol I havent heard that voice in sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long.
the high kick window joke was fucking great
Cro Cop: "right leg kick will send you to the hospital and the left to the grave."
I waited 44 years to laugh that much ay ..what a funny one

Didn't know Pat Barry was so chill . I see parallels in the mannerisms of him and rose.
Two of the scariest kickers in the game, ever.
2 awesome fighters and people… great people to represent the sport
At this moment Pat Barry had been dating rose for 2 years now(at 16 years old)
Yea he’s a piece of crap for that
@@1998kid1 fucking grooming
Any proof of that. People just like to say this without ever backing it up.
That ain´t true tho, they started dating when she was 17-18, when he fought Cro Cop they were just starting to date, of course they already knew eachother before that but they were not "dating"

I love Pat Barry. How can you not love this dude.
Pat Barry seriously humble & respectful to the max...Sad that there are so few like him & Rose in MMA today...
Well, they were both Cro cop's guests in Croatia
These two can talk, fight, AND sing in perfect fashion!
I'd love to see MMA head in a direction where respect for the discipline means more than a pay day
Cro Cop and Barry should have a podcast
A classic interview lol
Mirko : Yes i'm Ok but they are not ! hahaa What a Legened
unreal how this pops up in my recommended again... but today's fighters can learn many things from this. also mis this format.
1:17 street fighter
1:45 ladies
What a classy and humorous press conference... wow
I'm convinced pat Barry threw this fight not wanting to beat his idol. He had cro cop beat and didn't finish him multiple times
Adam is the coolest he gave cro cop that choke
Yeah like he threw the fight against Cheick Kongo too? Barry seems to lack that killer instinct to end a fight once he's dominating. I think he made a good decision retiring.
@@JohnSmith-yd2cu that Cheick Kongo is by far the most badass comeback KO ive ever seen
@@tupd it is the best KO comeback in mma ever
Two warriors holding court.
with the nurse on his left side! :D:D:D
This a great thing about MMA vs. boxing. Generally much more respect between opponents.
damn his word is like his left kick
Respect is a must so watch and learn
Ariel and Pat never get old they look the same today
I forgot all about this, those were the days
Lol that’s exactly how I will be if im being there at pre fight press conference vs cro goat
this has been 10 yrs already ? i'm getting old ...
I never knew Cro Cop had jokes! lol
Ti si prohodao sa 5 mjeseci...
Crocop a fucking savage
What a cool, humble guy Pat Berry is. And I read he only started training when he was 21 yrs old...that's frickin amazing 👏. He lost against Cro Cop, but he did manage to knock him down twice 👏🥷✊️😄
Pat & Mirko = Class acts
Completely random ,after 10 years RUclips decide to recommend this !!!
You gotta love Cro Cop!
Pat Barry could've won their fight but he hesitated. He didn't want to see his idol lose
I recall watching their fight, one of my fav fights of all the time, full of violence and friendship unironically! 😂
Later on that night, Rich Franklin knocked out Chuck Liddell with broken arm!
Legendary card!
lol, this was great! nice video
Most lethal kickers in mma
I don’t know why I got recommended this now but I never knew these two fought. Well I’m off to see the fight now.
We need more of this. Respect to both fighters!
Sick of trash like McTapout... no respect for the sport or hus opponents
