This Saturday... Mirko Cro Cop has yet another chance to attain vengeance upon a past foe.
When stepping into the Bellator cage for the first time, Mirko will most likely receive the warmest reception of the night. This legend has fought the who's who of MMA's Mount Rushmore.. and he's still finishing men with the killer instinct that never left.
'Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery.' If you've never heard these words utterred, you just aren't a martial arts fan.
Mirko's left high kick is not as feared as it once was, but this is an all time technique and eternal weapon of the mixed martial arts arena.
Just as Conor McGregor had the celtic cross and Lyoto Machida had his crane kick.. Mirko had his left high and that thing could take out an elephant. This was a man who pushed Fedor to his absolute limit in both their primes, and people may only understand the greatness of old Fedor by seeing what Mirko is doing to guys now. I don't know the odds, but I would put all my earnings on Mirko this weekend.
If you are looking for a solid play to bet all the while a solid fight to watch, take a peek at Bellator's main card and see what Mirko does to Big Roy Nelson..
...a man who knocked him out more than half a decade ago in the third round.
With the degrading of Roy's chin and all around cage intelligence, I can see Mirko doing a demolition job along like the likes of veteran and K-1 legend Sergei Kharitonov. Mirko is a Croatian hero in the streets.. and a Croatian nightmare in the cage.
Mirko takes his vengeance this Saturday, do not miss this one!
