Hong Man Choi talks Mirko Cro Cop: "Mirko Cro Cop has had some spectacular finishes but he has...

"Mirko Cro Cop has had some spectacular finishes but he has been pretty boring in his last few fights. I’m not afraid of him, I know he’s a very smart fighter but I intend to take him down and quickly finish the fight".

When asked if Mirko can catch him with the LHK, the Korean simply answered:

"That’s impossible."

"take him down and finish the fight quickly"

I thought this freakshow was under K-1 kickboxing rules???? If so, mayeb someone should tell Choi that his has to strike with the “boring” guy

How could you comment on something if you don’t know what’s going on? Did you really think Choi would make that kind of statement if this was a K-1 match?

For some reason I don’t see Choi shooting in on CC. But that will be a sight to see if it does happen. He’d have to get on his knees to shoot in on CC’s legs

thats how Mirko will land the LHK.....

When Choi shoots……the only way Mirko is reaching Choi’s head with his left kick. Would be a sight to see, if Mirko can kick him in the head!!!

How different things might have been

Had Lesnar-Choi happened instead of Lesnar-Kim…

Actually, Brock probably would’ve won anyway. Nevermind.

Only thing that would have changed is HMC's marketability,

and really since he’s a freakshow attraction, it probably wouldn’t have hurt it that much.

Lesnar would have mauled him in nearly identical fashion to Kim, it just may have taken a little longer to accomplish.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Choi by a submission that involves crushing Mirko’s head between his giant hands.

by ilostmydog on Dec 21, 2008 9:26 PM EST reply actions

Ah yes the Alien: Resurrection submission.

This fight will most likely end up looking like the Sefo/Choi match from this years Grand Prix. However, if Choi falls on top of Mirko like he did Fedor then things could start to get interesting.

Where’s Stephen Quadros when you need him? “THIS IS LIKE JAWS!”

Choi is terrible

Who cares what Choi says? Nobody. Why? Because he is slower than a turtle when he strikes. Sefo basically looked like he was fighting Glass Joe in Mike Tyson’s Punchout when they fought because he was basically just lining up and blasting Choi in the face.

LHK? Who cares, CC can probably murder his thighs until he topples like the Jolly Green Giant.
