What's crazy Miocic and Crocop have same fighting styles, fighting on the back foot constantly. And as soon as you think you're cornering him then boom you get knocked out.
Mirko Cro Cop comes from a little town in Croatia, Vinkovci (population around 30.000) and he said in one interview that there are a couple of guys in his hometown that he would avoid getting into a fist fight. Such a humble and honest guy.
True story. My high school was located on the westside of Zagreb, capital city of Croatia. Next to school was an apartment house with a bar on ground floor. They used to play turbo folk music, (unfortunately) very popular in Balkan region. Places like that were often visited by shady people, gold digging women, basically involving street shit overall. Midnight had passed and while playing music very loud the bar phone rang. One of the residents called and had aksed politely to quiten the music, because they had a little baby and it couldn't sleep. The bar kept playing music like nothing happened. This dude called the bar for the second time. Nothing. Few minutes later he showed up at the entrance door with a Pekinese in his arms. Didn't say a word, just stood still. The music had shut down instantly and all the customers started to exit the bar. You don't have to guess twice who came in visit.. 😂
lol, i remember watching this exact scene backstage that Rampage described. I wish i could find the video clip of it. I've never seen Crocop laugh his ass off like that.
I have seen his son and I hope he will take it to the next level after Cro Cop.Mirko is training him step by step.That is really scary offspring from beast himself.All that knowledge, experience teaching his son and take his time.
Fedor is not human. I remember when he got caught by Kevin Randleman's perfect Suplex, and on the floor, Fedor reverse and apply a kimura 1 minute after. Another day in the office.
And the problem with that is... what exactly? :) They're all sharing their views and experiences on the topic. Usually, that's how something gets "popular". I could listen about Mirko's leg kicks all day. I still do. Regards
You find it weird that every MMA fighter that comes to his show wants to talk about Cro Cop ? Mirko is a trailblazer, one of the OGs that made the modern era possible. Everyone respects that man and you can expect Joe to mention it some more in the future with somebody else.
I think people forget about Ernesto Hoost aka Mr. Perfect. He could right in the pocket, lean back and end with a leg kick very close to his opponent. That man is a beast.
@@Unwoken_European It wasn't just the age, it was knee surgeries, bicep injury, etc. And lack of experience with movement in the octagon, fought his whole life in the ring. Also, horrible coaches, one of them was a former overrated boxer and the other was a fitness guru that knew nothing about MMA.
The most impressive fact for me, in the Fedor vs Mirko fight, was how Fedor read and forecasted every Mirko's intension and reacted properly. Brilliant.
@deangoings maybe he could maybe he couldn't. We will never know. For every kickboxer that tried mma back in the day and found success, there was one who tried and failed. Cro Cop's specific style of stand up worked well in mma combined with the fact developed outstanding takedown defence. For Hoost to have succeeded in mma he would have to learn to defend the takedown.

Fedor and Mirko fight is RESPECT ,Mirko Respect Fedor,Fedor Respect Mirko .....OK but in 100 fights ,90 is Fedor win !! I AM Croatian and Mirko is NUMBER 1!!! That heart say but Fedor is better !!! Fedor 1......Mirko 2......

@@fooooooooooooooo Lol, they fight nothing alike.
@@fooooooooooooooohave you ever watched a stipe fight…?
But that high kick omg
Lot's has changed heavyweights are bigger and stronger. Especially Ngannou comming in
It would be so cool to have Mirko on this podcast!
True, but I don't think that he speaks English very well
He speaks perfectly fine english lol. @@francek3892
@@francek3892 Mirko has no problems speaking english, he has multiple interviews where he speaks it fluently
He doesn't want to guest on Joe Rogan podcast because Joe said that Pride paid them in cash. Basically accused them of tax fraud.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think I remember someone asking him about going to Joe Rogans podcast and I think he said he doesn't wanna go.
That Kongo/Cro Cop fight was one of Big John's worst moments as a ref. He knee'd Cro Cop in the balls multiple times and Big John did nothing.
And?

Fun fact: Cro Cop (aka Mirko Filipovic) was elected representative in Croatian Parliament for one term (2003-2008)
this is not true
Yes it is.
@@markozbunjol625 ne blamiraj se, čovjek je zbilja bio u saboru
Unfortunatelly that is true, sad but true
ye, bro even played a professional season for his hometown football club Cibalia Vinkovci lol
CroCop with his 96-98 kg was INCREDIBLE. Fedor, CroCop and then everyone else.
Legenda Mirko
Our Mirko is our pride! A living legend! Hrvatska te voli Mirko❤
0:40 Sean O‘Malley? 😂😂😂 Sean would snap in half after a body kick from Cro Cop.
😂😂is that sean o Malley he asks😂😂
Sean O'malley was the kicker in the photo you dummy
Buddy said omalley i thought i was trippin lool
Mirko was part of Croatian swat team when you are used to be shot at then a cage fight feels like picnic 😂
He was never active member. But still badass.
@@2334bobihe was not active member??why you writte those nonsence
@@damir9743 he was training and competing all the time. He was part of the team, but not on actual missions.

I reckon Cro Cop could've been an excellent footballer with kicking power like that and by just being Croatian.
you are right. He played for his local club Cibalia a little bit. That was his childhood's dream.
I have seen his son and I hope he will take it to the next level after Cro Cop.Mirko is training him step by step.That is really scary offspring from beast himself.All that knowledge, experience teaching his son and take his time.
Talent can not be passed down.
Cro cop my guy
I wish Joe would invite him
He is from a town near me. We met once (13 years ago...). When we shook hands I thought I had caught steel.
Cro-power 🇭🇷
His father is Serbian 😉

Cro cop dangerous
Crocop just honest man,if he likes u he likes u.if he didn't,thats bad news😂.
actually , right kick hospital left kick cemetery
remember that Fedor ate multiple leg kicks, body kicks, and even high kicks from prime Mirko Cro Cop and still beat him
Fedor is not human. I remember when he got caught by Kevin Randleman's perfect Suplex, and on the floor, Fedor reverse and apply a kimura 1 minute after. Another day in the office.
Hunto took some of them in k1 and Pride.
@@jeremiasdelnegro9036that was an epic slam!
An epic survival and win by Fedor
One of the most legendary fights of all time for me... They are both killers in the cage
@@Phewwpewwthey were mostly fighting in a ring
Joe literally has the same conversation with different guests over and over.
dont we all fall in love with something early on and then obsess over it for the rest of our lives?
And the problem with that is... what exactly? :) They're all sharing their views and experiences on the topic. Usually, that's how something gets "popular". I could listen about Mirko's leg kicks all day. I still do. Regards

Remember Kongo against Pat Barry, Pat literally looked dead.
My father was a pro kickboxer in 70’s Kurt King 👑
Nobody cares 😂😂😂
i don't give a f*ck!
Wow nice ......these guys are disrespectful
If my father ever fought in those full contact kickboxing matches - i would never say this publicly... Ever...
@@PP-hu9wv If I was you - I wouldn't say anything publicly. Ever.

Branko Cikatić was nightmare for Ernesto Hoost.
Well, he wasn't Mr.Perfect against Branko Cikatić, he was totally opposite of perfect in those match ups.
@@devilstrela Maybe you not, but some of us yes. But you do not know who was Branko Cikatić.

Cro cop vs buakaw?
CroCop was also competing in national boxing championships. But never so good like in kickboxing.
Why Crocop aint in UFC games well not in 4..and 5? don't get it.. you cant erese history
Crocop was never big in the UFC, he came in there already old. His prime was K1 and PRIDE.
@@Unwoken_European It wasn't just the age, it was knee surgeries, bicep injury, etc. And lack of experience with movement in the octagon, fought his whole life in the ring. Also, horrible coaches, one of them was a former overrated boxer and the other was a fitness guru that knew nothing about MMA.
Best comment i ever read was that crocop and fedor could've invaded and subjucated a small country in their prime
Didn't Joe once described that match Kongo vs Cro cop - "assault on balls"?🙄
PRIDE wanted kickboxing champion to fight in Pride and no one wanted that shi* except Cro Cop
Croatian here...cro cop does not like rogan one bit and calls him a "chump" constantly... but its ok hes a meathead
Who? Rohan or mirko? 😂
Cro cop from my hometown, Vinkovci.
The most impressive fact for me, in the Fedor vs Mirko fight, was how Fedor read and forecasted every Mirko's intension and reacted properly. Brilliant.
That entire fight was high-level danger!
He is not One of the hardest kickers ever.... HE IS THE HARDEST KICKER EVER! NO HW KICKS LIKE HIM AND NO KICKS SO FAST AS A HW!
Specijalka
So your just straight up stealing JRE content... cool.
Well... everybody's gotta make a living.
Who gaf
Who cares dude. What do you think joe rogan does?
Hes spreading the gospel ⛪
Um, hoost defeated cro cop three times.
What does that have to do with anything? The discussion was whether or not his style would have translated to mma
@@tobiassmith1556 if cro cop did it, hoost could do it.
@@deangoings thats mma math buddy doesnt always work like that
@deangoings maybe he could maybe he couldn't. We will never know. For every kickboxer that tried mma back in the day and found success, there was one who tried and failed. Cro Cop's specific style of stand up worked well in mma combined with the fact developed outstanding takedown defence. For Hoost to have succeeded in mma he would have to learn to defend the takedown.
@@deangoingsno he couldn't, Bob sapp beat hoost and Mirko destroyed sapp, MMA is different homie, hoost was not built for MMA, just a stand up fighter
