One thing about Mirko is fact that he could have been GOD of middleweight if he wanted to, but he always hated concept of "cutting weight", so he would show up in heavyweight being few pounds over middleweight, especially early in PRIDE. Also amount of fights he had in such a short period of time is crazy for today standards.
I doubt it. Mirko would have been fighting at LHW more likely. Igor Vochychan would have been MH where you can see size difference between both of them.
The killer Croatian! I love this guy even when he's fighting my own countrymen I root for him . They just don't get better. Just a guy from the USA giving my opinion.
I so hope that one day we will see another Pride Grand Prix like event. 16 great fighters battle it out, move to the quarter finals 2 months later, and the last 4 fight it out in the semi finals and finals on the same night. Boy was this awesome for the spectators
These new kids have talent and skill.. but they are not built like the old fighters.. The hardcore warrior spirit does not exist as it used to. They fight for money now.. They used to fight because they were fighters.
@@BillyBob-wq9flyea it’s weird, kinda like that in all sports. Athleticism and talent is unreal these days, but like you said so many lack that warrior spirit.
Nas Mirko,sused iz kvarta.koja legenda oduvijek. koja uljudnost.niti malo bahatoce u njemu....mojasadasnja zena se otiska okupat sa ekipom u njegov bazen a nisu znali da je njegova kuca.I nije bilo problema,lijepo ih je pitao kakva je voda i da su ga dosli pitat za brzu kupanciju,da bi im dao.jer naravno bile su dvije cure i jedan frend.😂😂😂Mirko,LEGENDA SI.Imas pogled na cijeli Zagreb sa magistrale
It looks like he got only left high kick but thats not right. He got great left hand, midle kicks and great takedown defence. He actually was decent boxer at begining of his fighting carier. He even spar with klitcko in that time.
An absolute legend of martial arts in general! An incredibly attractive fighter, very honorable and respectful to other fighters. Although the song Wild boys Duran Duran was of course already known, whenever I hear it even today, my first association is Cro cop! Perfect intro song!
@@usernwn7qe he quit bcz he had over 20 surgeries and the last bad thing he got was stroke... USADA couldn't do shit to him anyway, guy just trains a lot from the young age, even today he is riped like a brick
@@NocturneDarkness-gs4rc Just get over it, your idol is a life long juicer. Anabolic steroids are rampant in all of eastern europe. (And the Balkan is probably the easiest to get them) YES they can make you a living/career...well not as easily as it used to be, but thats my whole point.
This man was an actual warrior, on the anti-terrorist squad who ACTUALLY took people out...not just a fighter. His eyes gave it away when you see him in staredowns, he has the look that cant be faked..
@zc1080 No, I disagree ! There’s big number of Croats who are cowardly bitches and like to use and stay behind the word, we! That’s what usually cowards do. Greetings from Croatia..
@ i remember the fight during Pride. It was one of those kicks to the side of the head that doesn’t look that bad, but was knocking out other fighters.
@@richardkeller4892Wanderlei Silva got hit by one of these, as shown in this video. You need slow motion to see better the impact. And then, we can see a bloody injury on his skull. People say Silva wasn't the same after.
mirko was one of the best kickboxers in his time and later as well in mma,he is still the only fighter whu took the belt in k1 and in mma,zato što e balkanac DUDE🥊🥋💯💫
Best MMA fighters of all time: 1.) Fedor 2.) Mirko 3.) Minotaur Todays UFC is just a circus. No skill, no charisma, no respect for opponents. Just trash talk.
Very well done video. One thing is missing, he literally crack opened the skull of Sakuraba(not sure was it Sakuraba or some other fighter) Mirko spent a lot of time in hospital with him later on. That says a lot.
His knockouts are legendary and i can tell you why. Guy is former swat thus nickname cro cop. One think you'd have to be carefull around him is his left arm because if you felt it you'd wake up in changing room. He is also known as killer left as for why i think his knockouts show clearly.
I just realized that a bunch of these so called greats where greats when you could still knee a guy in the top of his dome and kick a guy while hes trying to get up.
Ah yes when they used to actually fight, not like now when 2 fighters get into the ring and they see who can twist the other guys foot or arm first to get a submission.

We don't know. But in one interview Mirko said he can't be LHW because going under 100 kg is impossible for him.
@@JuraKosednar He just hate cutting weight. That's it.
@@DUxMORTEM There was no LHW in Pride, MW was what LHW is in the UFC (93kg/205lbs limit)
@@pucko-i-puckova When he comes home and mother offers food there is no refusal. Nobody messes with the mother. :)
Fedor vs cro cop one of the best fight ever
Pride Cro Cop’s aura was off the charts. I always had this sense of concern for his opponent during the face off
The killer Croatian! I love this guy even when he's fighting my own countrymen I root for him . They just don't get better. Just a guy from the USA giving my opinion.
His performance in the gran prix was legendary.
My favorite quote in sports history
"Right leg,hospital;left leg,cemetery."
People now cant even realize how often they fought before and they didnt care who they fight against

Mirko is the third number in my wish list after Bruce lee and Mike tyson. he is very powerfull and dangerous 😊🇮🇷💪
In a street fight I'd pick mirko, baz, and fador.
Nah: Emilienko is the king of the octagon ever. Then maybe Mirko.
@haliShanna
Of course Emiliano was very good and powerfull but I prefer mirko because he is still fast and powerful 🙏❤️🇮🇷😊
Spec.force cop also...
@defacto8408
I love all heroes bro They all work very hard for the best result. I respect all of them❤️🙏🇮🇷
Mirko is one of the legendary fighters ,I'm so proud he is from my country as well 😎 what a legend 😎

Thank you mr. Mirko. 🇭🇷 people loves and pray for your healtly future!!! Stai safe humbl man...
He came to MMA and basically transformed it form wrestling/grappling fights into what it is today. One of the all time greats.

You’re a stupid little fucker, aren’t you??! You should say that to Mirko.

^this guy saw randleman, bob sapp, coleman etc fight young somewhat skinnier mirko and decided he's the one doing roids
Bad bait incel
Mirko Cro Cop Filipović, the GOAT!
Nah Fedor is the goat.. but Cro Cop was a beast as well back in pride..
Cro Cop is the Mozart of MMA.
Soccer kicks, fighting couple of times in the same night or every two weeks,,pride was something else
Compare this to Ufc... They were fighting every few weeks. Mirko legend 🇭🇷
Pussy Khabib and other wrestler pussies wouldn't survive 1 minute under old school Pride MMA rules
Always watch a cro cop video
Kick in the liver:
Does it hurt... Does it... Yeah that hurt
Mirko was an absolute stone cold assassin.
THIS GUY IS INCREDIBLE !!!! NO OTHER WORDS NEEDED !!! 😀😀😀😀😀
Bless Mirko. He is a great man ❤
I get tingles every-time I hear " Soccer kick to the head "
Those soccer kicks are wild
You can see that he used to be a croatian cop
Moja legenda🎉🇭🇷🇭🇷
Mirko iznad svih! 💪🏻🇭🇷
Veliko poštovanje za tebe Mirko.
Sarajevo. Bosna.
I completely forgot how many times a year the guys in pride fighting lol people now complain if they fight twice in a year
Mirkooooo niko kao ti kraljino!!!!
One of the best
Crocop is the greatest kicker in MMA history
Clash of titans
Mirko was one of the greatest of all time.
ATJ on his shirt means "Anti Terroristic Unit"
He will always be my favourite fighter to come back to and watch his prime.
I love that he has a move named for his killer knockout kick as well.
He quit fighting only because he literally had a stroke right after a fight. Dude was a tough one.
One OF The G.O.A.T.!
I feel like all Russians respect Mirko.
What does Russia have to do with Croatia? I'm honestly curious
@KB-nt7eg if you're a fan of mirko you will have come across the wonderful reception his Russian fans have.
He is slavic brother
❤🇭🇷❤🇷🇺❤
@ivicazubcic8718 yeeeeeeeee
Great fighter. All the fighters were great.😊😊😊😊
We don't see that killer instinct anymore.
Can you imagine getting arrested by him when he was a cop
Mirko, Mirko!
Great career.
The one and only Mirko Filipovic Cro Cop.
This guy is a weapon. Amazing.
This man was an actual warrior, on the anti-terrorist squad who ACTUALLY took people out...not just a fighter. His eyes gave it away when you see him in staredowns, he has the look that cant be faked..
He was on the team as a mascot and never did any of that shit 😂😂😂

I am proud to be Croat we are all like him heart never feel fear

Iznad svih! 💪🏻🇭🇷
MIRKO 👑👑👑👑👑
Fedor took a Mirko kick to head in his prime and kept fighting like it was nothing and won, but the way he talks now I think he got brain damage.
that never happened.

Legendary FUJITA at that time a few fighters in the World had a guts to step in a ring with Great Wariorr FUJITA
he was awesome 2nd only to Fedor....a champ.
Before his injury those kicks where surreal, its like real aimed anti tank sniper rounds.
You must consider that all these people are like 190cm+ tall .... 😂

GREAT VIDEO
Beside many legends, the referee in the early ufc is badass..
It's like, i will start counting when you almost die 😂
Proud to be Croatian
Legend!
Crocop only fears one man.
The Schaab.
I just realized that a bunch of these so called greats where greats when you could still knee a guy in the top of his dome and kick a guy while hes trying to get up.
Look at Crocup's chest at 9:57, then after. Randalman viciously bit him in defeat.
Good catch.
Is that the same as a rear naked poke? Those hurt alot! Sometimes for months.
Pat Barry vs Cro Cop was a great fight to me.
Well made video !
Najbolji si
F-ing Gonzaga paid dearly.
@4:15 the dude with the mask looked right into the camera like he was fine. Thats weird...
Para mí Mirko es el segundo mejor peleador de la historia solo detrás de Fedor y John Jones el tercero. 💪
I’d like to hear some of his stories
Ater Fedor in pride Mirko was best.
He did get wrecked after coming to the UFC, but he was already past his prime.
Never mess with the predator if you are not Hulk.
Crocop was great, but my favorite is the Axe Murderer.
I think its sad that they think the "soccer" kicks are a part of this sport.
Wow! Miko what a fighetre!
Holy sht Mirko
Mirko Filipović & Stipe Miočić 🇭🇷✋
…..”Right leg, Hospital… Left leg, Cemetery.” …… ~ CroCop ~ ……

Yep and he also stole Satoshi Ishiii :D
Ah yes when they used to actually fight, not like now when 2 fighters get into the ring and they see who can twist the other guys foot or arm first to get a submission.
Croatian super soldier
What say was back then "Right leg in hospital,left in the coffin",something like that :D
EDIT:yeah,you said it at the end
