Mirko is such a modest guy. He was reiterating so many times so there is not even glimmer of doubt that he was lucky to catch Werdum out

Imagine breaking into the flat to be confronted with CroCop and Werdum. RIP

Damn love the respect he's giving for Werdum. Humble dude.

Cro Cop, a man's man. True martial artist.

I can imagine it was probably extremely beneficial for them to train together since Fabrico could help Mirko polish his ground game and Mirko could make Fabrico a better striker.

Gotta love Mirko. He's so humble.

CroCop is a real MAN. Humble warrior, that never needs to exagerate or make himself bigger on the backs of others. My respect to this man.

Maybe Master Fabricio left after that incident because he felt Mirko's ground game was good enough for him not to be there anymore. Unlikely but possible.

What an unreal story. Werdum literally left. That’s insane! This is one of the coolest MMA legends stories I’ve ever heard, and I love the way Cro Cop tells it.

Mirko is awesome and Werdum sounds like a great guy too.

cro cop ....the definition of class

He goes to great lengths to not appear cocky. Almost to the level of the absurd :)

Haha great story You translated this? if so, thank you very fuckin much And would love to see more Cro Cops translated videos.

'Best move to have in the world is physical strength'

What a respectful guy mirco is, credit to him.

I love this mans humility, especially given his level of talent.

Mirko is such a clear person and a true performer.What a great guy.I think every top fighter he fought with has had respect and my impression he's one of the hardest guy to defeat for every opponent

Mirko in his prime had very underrated Jui Jitsu. Watch his fight with Kevin Randleman, he put him to sleep with a standing guillotine choke.

Wow. First time seeing this. What a humble warrior Mirko is. Funny thing is that days ago, I watched a tiny bit of Werdum & Wanderlei on a Portuguese podcast (with English subs). Fabricio was saying how badly he got beat up by Mirko on the feet every day during training. Can't wait to finish that podcast. Thank you for this post!

this guy have a humility !

What a great man, humble,honest and hard as fuck.

2 legends. Imagine being the first guy to beat Fedor. Damn!

Faith in Humanity Restored!

he is so humble... true warrior

Werdum knew that what Cro Cop needed to add to his game was an impenetrable defence against a top grappler like himself, because the rest was already there. Once he was tapped Werdum knew his work was done.

This dude has the best guard defense I've ever seen

This was EXACTLY what happened to me tonight. My teammate/coach and friend who always has been slaughtering me in sparring, both kickboxing and grappling, always getting me in either an armbar or a rear naked choke for 3 years, today I finally got him in that choke! And he just ran out. He just took off. I hope i'll see him again lol.

Werdum has talked about these training sessions said there would be wars. Said mirko sent him to hospital with leg kick and could barely walk for weeks.

Humble.

Mirko "Humble pie" Cro Cop

Humble

Much respect to Mirko from Austria

Crocop so humble. By fruit he meant you were gay.

I still can't forgive him for getting KO by fucking Brendan Schaub

The literal translation for FRUTA is "fruit"... Quite simple. But here in Brazil the meaning for that word when you say to someone who is afraid of doing something is "pussy" or something like that with an homossexual meaning.

There’s an interview with Werdume talking about Mirkro and how strong he is the two have such a mutual respect.

Crocop is a Legend

I love this story.

Werdum says that Cro Cop didnt treat him verry well in Croatiq,i feel sorry for that

Thats a real man right there

its the most baki story ive ever heard, what a badass

wow fabrico is crazy man.... no wonder hes the champ

god croatian man

That's so hilarious hahahah. The ONE person who unliked this video? Fabricio Werdum haha

Werdum i CRO COP legende za sva vremena

At the time Mirko is talking about Mirko would have destroyed Werdum in an MMA match. Mirko was number 3 at his height.

Friendship... friendship

Fabricio said in a brazilian podcast this story is a lie, he said Mirko got him by surprise off training session in a RNC and he tapped before going to sleep... I belive Mirko tho.

Haha, what a story Mark.

형님 저한테는 최고의 베팅경기였습니다

Svaka cast Mirkane. Ali i Werdum je trenutno jedan od najvecih,mozda i u istoriji MMA sporta..napredovao je mnogo,stari je snimak vidi se da ga Mirko mnogo postuje.Zao mi je samo sto je Werdum bodovno izgubio zadnji mec protiv Overeema,jer je definitvno pokraden u toj borbi.On i Mirko dve zive legende.

If people are interested in more videos, subscribe. I'll translate some more. I do have some other Cro Cop videos on the channel, check them out.

I think the "my work here is done" version is very poetic, but I believe there's a different explanation. If you go to Werdum's Wikipedia page it says that he "...started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu after being choked unconscious with a triangle choke by the ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend." It's obvious that this experience was sufficiently traumatic for him that it started his obsession with jiu-jitsu and grappling, eventually resulting in Fabricio becoming probably the greatest heavyweight grappler of his time. He did, after all, submit Fedor. Whatever his motivation was, possibly revenge, very likely the will never to get choked again, it was very important in how this incident played out. I also believe that, had Mirko just tapped him, Fabricio wouldn't have left for Brazil. But this was for him a first person flashback of the very accident that generated his deep seated, driving trauma, possibly even fear, with the added insult that he had brought it on himself by teaching Cro Cop everything he knew. I think that, there and then, Fabricio just couldn't take it and had to go back home. It probably closed some sort of circle for him as well, as he later found out, I'm sure, that he could get choked, so many years after the fact, by somebody much more dangerous than whoever that first guy was, and nothing bad would come of it, except, of course, a few seconds of amnesia.

I don't understand why Werdum had to go back to Brazil immediately just because Crocop submitted him, I mean, why he would say he was going to do that in the first place, and then why he would actually do it.

Cro Cop é foda demais cara! porra! o cara da porrada finíssima, destrói adversário. grande mestre da porrada!

classy fighter

Werdum actually left because Mirko choked him out one time meanwhile Werdum made Mirko tap 500 times

He was tired of Mirko after 2,5 years and he let him choke 🤣🤣🤣

My superhero 😁

I think that was Werdums way of saying: "My work here is done." Indeed Werdum is a master of the craft and to be submited by a tired from training Mirko meant that a fully prepared Mirko for a grappling match would be a difficult beast to control.

the ratio of likes to dislikes say it all that how much people live cro cop

Gotta love crocop keeping it real! great guy... and Werdum too.. thanks for the translate.. only not cool part of it all is the "fruta" meaning Fruit.. it is also called "frutinha" and he was basically calling him gay, it is all in good spirits but definitely today a derogatory term.. but those were different times I don't think Werdum would talk like that today

wow didnt know it was 2,5 years...is that a translation error? I cant imagine Werdun spend 2 1/2 years in Croatia. Guy fas family, camp in Brazil etc.

Mirko tapped WErdum! Hes a beast. I knew he could do it if he wanted to. Nobody can take Mirko!! Im just joking, i get it!

he lived in mirkos apartment for 2 and a half years, wow, why so long?

Haha, that's a awesome story.

Cro Cop is one of the GOATs but Werdum is the GOAT

Maybe he just really wanted to go back to Brazil

Little bit of a diva move to literally leave the country after getting submitted in practice

Hahaha 👍👍👍👍 nise Story

Why did werdum leave brazil to go live in an appartment in croatia with crocop? Sounds kind of wierd!

Fun fact "fruta" means "Pu**y" in Brazilian slang

DAM what Would i give for a Summer Training with Mirko

Vim pelo flow kkk

Funny story lol

Jedi kogvna sta lazez ti si klitschko i werdum su za tebe King brate
