I mean if you’re making a video about such a legend as Mirko Cro Cop, you should at least tell the full story. It looks like he retired after the Gonzaga loss, but the truth is that he won K1 Tournament, avenged his loss to Gonzaga and even won another mma tournament (Rizin). True fighter who gave so much to this beautiful sport!

What the hell is this after that fight with gonzaga he fought three times in one night to win k1 grand prix and rizin open weight grand prix he retired on a ten fight win streak and only lost like two time in 5 years.. If you want to talk about a legend don't skip his achievements and blood and sweat he indured... You made it sound like he lost to gonzaga and just retired he fought gonzaga years later killed the man with his elbows...

True, though the competition he beat wasn't elite (though there were some solid fighters in there). Still impressive for a fighter his age with as much wear-and-tear as he had at that point. Crocop's downfall in the UFC was the cage. So much of his style was based on cutting angles in the ring and unloading on dudes in the corner. He couldn't do that in the cage, which also hampered his exellent TD defense.

Cro Cop vs Wandy is the best staredown in MMA history. First time ever someone looked more intimidating than Silva and Mauro's line "Silva looks like he wants to kill someone and Cro Cop looks like he already did" was the cherry on top. The fight itself was ok, we had to wait until their second one to get the epic KO but that staredown is one of my favorite MMA moments ever.

Unjustified video. Cro Cop redeemed himself against Gonzaga (dude who headkick ko'd him in the UFC). Not only did he redeem himself by outclassing Gonzaga and dominating him in the rematch, but also Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic also dominated other promotions and events. You should've included that in the video.

Cro COP had eight matches in the UFC. He beat both Gonzaga and Roy Belson in the rematch but in the Belator promotion.. After 2 difficult knee surgeries, he returned to Japan, made a 10-game winning streak and won rizin, won the k1 grand prix with Pride.. BRANKO THE TIGER CIKATIĆ is the first Croatian, MIRKO CRO COP, and Antonio Plazibat is the third Croatian to win the k-1 grand prix. Of course, Stipe Miocic is the son of an Immigrant from Croatia, Pat Miletic welter champion in the UFC as well.. Also many box champions coming from Croatia. 🇭🇷🇭🇷💪💪

A lot of missing details to this story! You left so much meat on the bone! The Nog/Crocop fight was nearly finished in the 1st rd when CC landed his LHK but Nog was saved by the bell. Then Nog made a miraculous comeback. Crocop’s two most popular fights were vs Wanderlei and Fedor! He KO’d Fedor’s teammate and brother on his way to that shot and fought one of the most legendary fights against Fedor! And his KO vs Wanderlei is legendary!

Crocop definitely one of the greatest of all time, and a credit and asset to the sport and Bas Rutten once asked Crocop, "How is it your your kicks are so awesome?" Crocop answered saying that 3 times per week AFTER his workouts, he would kick 1000 kicks so that is 12,000 kicks per month in addition to his workouts so you cannot criticize his work ethic, and awesome athlete indeed.
