Probably Cro Cop but its not a mismatch.
Mirko is a better athlete and (although i’m sure a lot of people would disagree) I think both his MMA and kickboxing career was more impressive than Poatans if you dont just judge it on the surface level.

I like how 5m of that 15m video was the actual fight itself.
Maybe but Crocop takes out Poatan in 2.

I’m going with Cro Cop.
I can see it going either way and I don’t know how anyone can be 100% sure.
But I think Cro Cop was operating in a world of bigger more powerful fighters, and he was elite among them.
So it’s not like facing a guy with power is some kind of kryptonite for him lol.

Why?
Nothing wrong with picking either guy here.
Seems like you’re underrating Cro Cop.

Prime Cro Cop would present many of the same problems that Izzy did while being naturally bigger and more explosive with more power.
I also rate being a top guy in the glory days of K-1 higher than being a modern Glory champ.
Alex could always pull off a KO but I favor CC in the tit for tat.

This is a tough pick; two of my favorites and it could go either way.
Gotta go Cro Cop though based on the level of competition he faced in K-1. That and the fact Poatan usually uses footwork and head movement to deal with punches and i see Cro Cop trying to corner him.
So I guess id say in a ring Cro Cop and in a cage Poatan would probably have an edge.
Very close match up.

Even though Cro Cop is my dude. We can all admit that. Eddie Sanchez says so.

Crocop fell apart after like 100 fights but still came back and got revenge against guys like Gonzaga and Roy Nelson, won two fights in one night etc. He had a weird slump for a bit.
He’s way beyond AP. He broke Sapp’s face with a punch, kicked a lot of heads off of shoulders, demolished Hong Man Choi who was 7’2 and K1 champ. AP gets hit a fair amount too and his wide stance heavy front leg is asking to get kicked into oblivion

I imagine cro cop folding him with a liver kick.
The only thing I am sure of is Poatan is one of the only guys from today’s crop that would fit in in Pride
Poatan fights much smaller guys than Crocop did.
But Poatan can knock anyone out if he clips them.
He also keeps his hands low and Crocop could kick his head off.
It would be a great fight. If that I’m sure.
