Mirko was like a cyborg soldier in his prime—still an absolute beast to this day.
What a brilliant fighter. The rare type of heavyweight that you sensed constant danger when watching. You didn’t blink. He was stalking prey.
Hell yeah

Prime Cro Cop beats Jon Jones. Therefore, Cro Cop is the p4p GOAT
Got the day at home soup?
Kiillliinnn iiittt

from some documentary. And I remember they said something like “and of course, Mirko Crocop wanted to show off some of his humour at the end” or something like that ![]()
In a Pride ring, I think there’s a good chance that’s true.
I think in general. Cro Cop has fought bigger and better strikers and beat them. He’s tossed dudes around who had a lot of weight on Jones. Yeah, Jones destroyed Shogun. What do you think Cro Cop would’ve done to him? Shit, Cro Cop fought Schaub the same day Jones won the belt (I was there). THAT Cro Cop would beat the living shit out of Shogun

Ahh, the good ole days.
Plus Shogun wasn’t the same fighter by he time he fought Jones.
Pre surgery Shogun was a different animal.
