Big Nog got hurt in training and Cro Cop will take his spot, reportedly.

Sweet fight. Someone is getting KO'd.

Mir should be able to walk through Cro Cop.

Big Nog got hurt in training and Cro Cop will take his spot, reportedly.

That's a double disappointment. First, because I wanted to see the original fight, and secondly because I don't want to see Cro-Cop getting brutalized.

Reportedly is a hip injury to Big Nog.

Mir should walk to cro crop... Stay close and pound him out.... Dont let the legs fly!

[Mamba]

Mir will probably rush him. He's big enough to bully him up against the cage. Cro Cop's only chance, IMO, is to stick and move. If fucking Pat Berry could rock Cro Cop, Mir can. The difference? Mir isn't a pussy, he'll jump on him when he has the chance.

[Trench]

shit, it was suppose to say Mir should walk over cro crop! ha! Yeah, I agree... Mir aint scared to get dirty. That bulk is gonna come in handy... Rush Mirko, throw him on his back and show him why jiujitsu is a MUST!

[Chocolove]

I hope Cro Cop kicks Mir's damn head off. Nothing against Mir, just want to see a vintage Cro Cop knockout

Chael Sonnen (R) is a Republican, and they don't believe in that kind of thing!

Cro Cop's TDD is good and Mir's wrestling is not. Should make for an interesting fight given Mir's developing striking skills. I wouldn't count Cro Cop out of this fight so quickly.

[Mamba]

No one is mentioning TD's, though. Mir should easily be able to bully him up against the cage.

Im not counting him out. His legs are legendary in PRIDE and continue to be a threat.... However, I think the clear advantage belongs to MIR... If he can close the distance and overpower CC and put him on his back, I dont see Mir losing.

[ktrulez]

Honestly I dont remember when was the last time Crocop actually threw a leg kick to the head that actually landed cleanly. Crocop is so past his prime and was surprised Barry didn't finish him. I would love to see a vintage Crocop left high kick for the KO, unfortunately it is not in him anymore.

Thiago Tavares in for Aaron Riley.

[Patriot]

Rooting for Cop, hate Mir.

I can't wait for this. Mir will win the ground game for sure but he better pray he doesn't get caught with one of Mirko's rights.

Terrible rumour: Cro Cop has an eye injury and rather than cancel his fight (tanking the PPV), the UFC may wait until the PPV has started to announce the fight isn't happening.

[Mamba]

I think that is very possible. There seems to be a lot coming out of this injury. People will not buy Lil Nog/Bader.

I don't think the UFC would do that to the fans, though? I know they want to make money...but come on...that is just fucked up.

Yeah it is a major dick move, hopefully they wouldn't stoop to that.

[Chocolove]

The UFC should just take the loss and not ruin their rep, it wasn't the greatest main event to begin with anyways.
