I watched all his fights and he didn`t impressed me.........he is big, dumb fighter and he is just strong on paper and with his mouth (just look how Kharitonov destroyed him!!!). I think that CroCop will be 200% prepared and confident for this fight and I think that he will KO that pussy Overeem in first round! He will be hungry to win and to prove that he is stil one of top HW on the planet! War Mirko! Destroy him! I think that Overeeem is a pussy.

This is a good matchup. Overeem will be a challenge. If he wins, people might believe he is back. Cro-Cop has to fight someone of caliber to get back on track. This is a good matchup.

Granted, Alistair is probably looking at the Kongo/Cro Cop fight and thinking, "I can do that..." But even though they look the same on paper, Kongo is bigger and stronger than Alistair. And Cro Cop will be a lot more confident fighting in Japan, and in a ring. I'm just sayin.

If, let's just say if, he loses... he's toast! He'd be barely Top 20 at that point falling down the ladder with a bullet. It'd be time to pair him with Big Daddy, Tank, Sevren and Frye and that would be a true crying shame for the US to have missed all his quality years. He'd be then only viable here as a 'T-shirt Guy' main event fer sure dudes!... Talk about a watershed moment coming up. I wish him the best and hope he comes back strong, there's so few 'bigs' with his unique skill set. Cheers mates CroCop was once such a bad ass…jezz what happened to him?

CC's last 2 or 3 outings [discluding the one he won at DREAM] were simply, unimpressive.. especially his one with Kongo IMO.. it seems like when he gets someone a little bit bigger than him, he doesn't want anything to do with them.. and i think that's where problems would come in in this fight.. all it takes is Overeem being more aggressive, and being the one that chases the other.. and CC's spirit would break [ala CC/Fedor, CC/Kongo, etc.] but, i'll root for CC. i want to see it too, Matt..

As much as I love CroCop, I really think that he needs to take a break from fighting Top 15 HW's, and whoop a couple plugs. I understand that nobody wants to see this, but I believe it's necessary for him to get back whatever he lost. Shucks.

Like he has done here (if you read the full quote) and like he has done many times before. I am a huge CC fan but he seems to be falling into a predictable pattern.

I though"t" if they meet up that Cro Crop has 10x more ground defense than Hunt does, who's proven to be lazy and should stick to K-1 only. Cro Crop would destroy him.
