Cro Cop Vs Hong-man Choi on NYE? WTF!

 
Wow, it's doesn't seem like it was that long ago that Cro-Cop was destroying everything in his path. The announcement of this fight just makes me cringe at the thought of it. Hong-man Choi is freshly coming of a good ol' fashion whupping at the hands of Ray Sefo. (K1 rules) Sefo, coming off of a 6 loss K1 match streak handled Choi with ease. Cro-Cop needs to either quit running from real opponents or just flat out retire before he totally ruins what is left of his reputation. Here is a quote from Cro-Cops blog courtesy of mmascoops.com:

"I'm excited to let you know that I have accepted DREAM's offer to fight against Hong-man Choi on December 31 at Dynamite show. We arranged all details and the contract has been signed - the fight is officialy on.

I must say I'm happy with this opportunity to fight again in this year. This wasn't the best year for me and I'm hoping that I'll end it in a good spirit. I'm also happy to fight again in Japan at New Year's Eve, which is always truly a fantastic experience...

So how do I feel about this fight? I already told you that I'm excited and it's really a problem for me to accept this fight with only 14 days left to go. I've been training hard after my last fight and I'm ready to face the Korean giant. When you fight the opponent of that size, you just have to take the fight very seriously. Under MMA rules he's not experienced, but he's big and strong and that makes him dangerous.

Although I'm still having some difficulties with my old injuries there won't be any excuses left in case of a bad result. I'll handle this issues in January, but against Choi I'll be ready and nothing will stop me this time. I'll just do my best and end this year with a win hopefully. Then I'll focus on 2009 and work on the further steps in my career.

Thank you for being patient when waiting for this announcement and thank you from bottom of my heart for your huge support. Don't miss the show and have fun with your famillies and friends until then!"

In my opinion, the only interesting part of the fight is to see if Mirko can head kick Choi or not.
