I’m a huge Mirko fan but I do not like his chances tomorrow.

Big Nog gave me some hope. Maybe we can see a come back of pride legends.

Maybe I’ll be wrong, but I’m going to call right here:

Dos Santos is being overrated. He surprised Werdum, and tore through a clearly outmatched Struve. But all in all his striking doesn’t look that polished.

I expect Cro Cop to come in good shape and score an early KO/TKO.

I see a straight left hand down the pipe as the beginning of the end for DS around the 4:00 mark. Maybe after this fight people will realise CC is back.

i don’t know if he’s “back” … or if he even left. but the sport has been evolving more than he has, and he’s gotten a bit older. that said, i like this matchup for him.

CroCop

..should join a real MMA camp, like Greg Jackson’s.

I couldn’t agree more, Cro Cop is far too intelligent a fighter to let Dos Santos finish him :o)

It would be really great to see “Old Cro-Cop” rip off a few wins. Makes the UFC heavyweight division a little more dynamic.

I just don't see Cro Cop losing stand up wars...

but that’s because my view is obstructed by his nutsack.

We're just a million little gods causin' rain storms, turning every good thing to rust.

Cro Cop is an underdog?
