No one should accuse Mauro of being a coward, because at that time there was only two people on the planet who weren't afraid of Cro Cop. Fedor and Cro Cop's mom.
Mirko is a nice guy a buddy of mine had met him once and said he was probably nicer than anyone he's met before, personally I see a man who could probably kill you eight different ways with a spoon si
I've heard his voice before but never really knew who Mauro is/was. After seeing this so many years later, holy sh*t, mad respect to the guy for 1) professionally taking the blame and trying to de-escalate when he wasn't wrong and 2) having the massive balls to continuously face a (jokingly) angry Cro Cop. The guy was willing to die for his work/craft.
It is good he is the pride of Croatia. Mirko is very popular worldwide. A legend, not just because of incredible fighting but because of hes character.
That description is golden, too! "The biggest tool in MMA, Jerry Millen, proceeds to rub it into Mauro's face as if he wouldn't have shit his, yours, and everyone else's pants had he been in the same situation." xD xD
Bas cracks me up. When they come out to talk to Mauro, he can’t help but be smiling real big. I guess Mauro thought it could be about something else. Also his acting of receiving Mauro’s gunshot and subsequent laughter
@@Miguelruiz25Yep, I'm 45 now and I regret so much not going to japan to see this in my early 20s I've been to japan 13 times but all after pride ended and it's not the same 😢
Now when Fedor Emilianenko has clearly stated that Mirko Cro Cop was the hardest man he EVER fought against and would never step into the ring and fight with that man again, that says alot bout him. Hes the kinda guy that if you see walking towards you in an angry manner, you better learn to run 45 mph, because thats all you can do if Mirko is mad at you. One of the best fighters out there hands down.
That was great. I remember going to Pride 28 in Japan when I was around 21 years old and staying in the Hilton with all the fighters. Every time I got on the elevator there was Wanderlei Silva, Mark Hunt, or some other larger than life fighter. It was right at the height of Prides greatness. One of my most vivid memories was being on the elevator with Mark Hunt and that dude chewing louder than I've ever heard anyone in my life. He chews like a fucking horse. Of course I kept my mouth shut 🤣
Lmao. Wow dude that’s amazing. I was always into boxing but my older brother was who got me into MMA. I’m 27 now but at the time I was about 9-12 years old when pride was at its peek. Pride was just so cool. U remember the chute boxe team? Anderson, shogun and wanderlai were in it I believe.. I loved the rampage and wanderlai rivalry. Man good times.
I know where you’re coming from but check out the video compilation of pranks by Mirko on here. His laugh really comes out a few times on that one. Good stuff
@@antuanperez426 Here is one prank cro cop did. He trained his colleges in the special police force unit and they planned a fake beef, then his colleage came back with AK47 and fake bullets. Lol cro cop said later he almost got shot because the police guys took out real guns in the kaos and almost pulled the trigger ua-cam.com/video/ek3xDlLsmX0/v-deo.html
i love the fact that he said hes not going to apologise because it wasn't him that was commentating. Good man. A lot off ppl need to stand up for themselves, for truth and for whats right, much more and much more often, and this is a great example.
"Right leg, hospital. Left leg, cemetery".... That's what Mauro starts to think about at around 3:29, I reckon. Stammering and agreeing with everything Mirko says and apologising for something he didn't do!! It's the first time I've seen this, didn't even know what the joke was going to be.... Got a good laugh out of it watching the poor bloke squirm.
Oh MAN,That was TERRIBLE 😂🤣 I know he was intimidated because Mirko was known at times to be Temperamental 😂I Never knew the Cro Cop had that in him(and was with Pride since day 1) Good stuff👍👍
Dont think newer fans realize how impressive and scary Crocop was. Together with Fedor two just awe inducing fighters and to this day imo the most scary fighters on this planet. Can relate to how Mauro had to feel, the poor guy Very funny.
Poor Mauro lmao he was terrified and rightly so. I actually thought and still view Mauro as one of the better MMA announcers which really surprised that he was never recruited by UFC. He had a very good professionalism to him as well as a perfect sports commentator voice.
I did this to a girl who said 'she didn't like me, thought I was arrogant' today before class. But of course she's always friendly to my face. In my best Croatian accent; 'You told, Melinda that, I am arrogant. But you are my friend - when we speak. I don't like this,' Then I pretended to be really offended until I cracked a smile and said 'it's okay.'
Mauro your a legend, just as much as the fighters you called for, thank you for your years of colorful commentary.....never doubt that you have touched us all with your presence 😉
"Were you scared?" No shit he was scared, everyone in that room would've been scared, probably Bas included. Only one person wouldn't have been intimidated, Fedor.
That’s so mean 🤣 dude I trained in mma for over 6 years and wrestling and taekwondo I’m 6-2 190 and mirko cro cop makes me piss my pants I can’t imagine how this guy feels that’s terrifying 🤣
I think that, considering the situation he was in, this reporter was holding himself pretty well. He even tried to get back into the lions den twice. And he definitely didn't break down and hugged Mirko's leg. Well done Mr. Mauro!!
This is still an all time video. Mirco played it so well, the guy was like “omg why does nobody believe me, I didn’t cover that fight “ this was so subtle but so well done lol I’d be literally dropping a load in my pants
This is one classic video, I had to find it again, I remember feeling for Mauro and thinking, poor guy, I would have been shaking like a little scared puppy too lol, it’s all in fun though, cheers!!!
No one should accuse Mauro of being a coward, because at that time there was only two people on the planet who weren't afraid of Cro Cop. Fedor and Cro Cop's mom.
I guess you never heard of the Monster Kevin Randleman
This is fix
His mom used to beat him a lot when he was a kid
Wanderlei Silva wasn't scared of anyone, that dude would fight a bull with his bare hands.
@@H.K.5 since stare down he was as well scared of cro cop, the moment when he broke is significant..
3:42 - Mirko: "You understand?"
Me sat at my computer: "Yes, sir."
Me too😂😂
Lol

😂
😂😂😂
were you scared? 'of course i was, thats mirko crocop!'

How would you see your own funeral anyway ?
@@RyleKittenhouse Mirko said that because his opponent said his upcoming fight was gonna be a funeral

"Were you scared"?
Mauro: " of course I was it's Mirko Cro Cop". Truer words have never been said
Have Mirko angry against you must be so terrifying
nah he’s pussy
I admire how Mauro kept his cool. He handled a very uncomfortable situation with good grace, or good grief, depends on how you look at it.
And the fact Mirko was known for being so scary and intimidating by just being in his presence
Mirko CroCop has always been jokester, he has unbelivable heart and sense of honesty,he is pride of our country 🇭🇷👊💪
It is good he is the pride of Croatia. Mirko is very popular worldwide. A legend, not just because of incredible fighting but because of hes character.
Indeed.. My favorite fighter of all time..
Although it was Bas Rutten who initialled it 😃🇳🇱
He left with Joe Rogan's limo at a UFC event. Got in,: "Mr. Joe Rogan?" "yes, let's go to the club"
Lots of love from the 🇺🇸
Good god Mauro is pale as a ghost after he left that curtain.
won't you be scared for your life too?
I would be pale as a ghost if Crp cop would be angry with me and I'm black
@@glenndsouza5447 😂😂😂😂
i think he was al coked out before he stepped in.
his voice is awesome
What a gift. I imagine you’d hardly need a written resume to get a broadcasting job
its pretty cool
Reminds me of Charles Grodin.
It's because he smokes a lot. Nothing magical about it
@@MRTN13 virgin
missing this era so much
Fell ya bruvah'
so many good fights and fighters
Man, i didn't think i could think my esteem of Crocop could go any higher. Absolute legend
typical bully lol
@chchch.1212 even if this was real and not a joke, how would this be bully behaviour?
Bruh the part where mirkos like “can I tell you something” and escorts the guy out with his hand on his neck had me dead🤣🤣💀
Mirko Crocop was and still is one of my favorites!
That pfp 🤣
He was a pure fighter, no bullshit, his left leg took head of various fighter shoulders.
That description is golden, too!
"The biggest tool in MMA, Jerry Millen, proceeds to rub it into Mauro's face as if he wouldn't have shit his, yours, and everyone else's pants had he been in the same situation." xD xD
And then Seth McFarland devoted his life to comedy after this
Lol!!
Seth MacFarlane had a baby with Billy Joel Armstrong
That’s the first guy I thought of 😂
Or that dorky ass kid from Harold lunar xmas
way to diss Mauro Ranallo
Bas cracks me up. When they come out to talk to Mauro, he can’t help but be smiling real big. I guess Mauro thought it could be about something else. Also his acting of receiving Mauro’s gunshot and subsequent laughter
This never gets old..Cro Cop is a legend.
His reaction after makes you realize how scary krocop acctually is. He had to state at the floor for like a minute after to regain his composure
been watching this for years and it never gets old
this is one of the best moments in mma stage ever.
pride forever,inside or outside the ring,the real show.
This is staged. The amount of gullible 🐑🐑 that believe this is real just shows what the world is coming to.

hahahaah priceless
he's such a genuinely funny guy
4:18 best wink in MMA 😂🤣😁😆

No possible even accidently
impossible
Pretty sure he did that to Fedor.

bas rutten should be at ufc, commenting
You could see the flood of past painful memories wash over Mauros face when Bas said "just like high school".
4:50 thas scary man lol
When CroCop says "Do you understand?" you better make him believe you understand.
fuck dude I would be crying, he's tryin to keep it together. Poor dude suffers from depression.
Love how serious bas looks @4:14 when Mauro glances at him
5 seconds later, Bas got a big smile on his face
Mauro should commentate for the UFC he hypes a fight better then Rogan and Goldberg put together!
Mauro and Rogan together would be epic.
No all those guys are great
Rogan stays no matter what!

Did we just watch the same thing because he did apologize a number of times .Maybe watch it again

Wowwww they punked him so hard holy shit. "Were you scared?"
"Of course, its Mirko Cro Cop!"
He wasn't even that afraid honestly. he kept his calm pretty well, didn't cower or back down.
If you show fear its already to late.
He got dude apologizing for something he didn't do. Very brave
bro... he was cowering.
People you really shouldn't upset:
The US President
God
Mirko Cro Cop
And Vladimir Putin lol

Watching this now knowing the struggles Mauro has had with his mental health over the years this must have been awful for the guy
Mauro had flashbacks of getting bullied by the football players in high school

good old times. im so glad yt recommended me this.
the nostalgia
Were you scared? Of course I was scared its Mirko CroCop!
I loved when he took the mic away from him and then grabbed him by the collar and exited him out of the room. lol
furenal...hard words
I'm watching this in 2023 and I'M scared
Mauro is still the best most professional commentator! Crocop was really good in the prank too.
He started having Vietnam flashbacks of highschool hazing
It's always reasonable to be cautious of someone that could remove your spine with a kick
Imagine if it was Mike Tyson interviewing CroCop.
One leg Kick and Tyson forgot Boxing
He would bitchslap Tyson
I want to see Mirco and Mauro together talking about this prank
I think that, considering the situation he was in, this reporter was holding himself pretty well. He even tried to get back into the lions den twice.
And he definitely didn't break down and hugged Mirko's leg. Well done Mr. Mauro!!
*Watching this now is a bit uncomfortable*
I don't care if Cropcop turns 100 years old. If he was angry at me like that, I'd sh#t my pants...lol
