I was hoping Crocop would come out on top in this fight and it didn't dissapoint. Mirko has been among the best for a while but he fucked himself by making stupid mistakes against competition he should have comfortably beaten (ie: Randleman but the rematch sorted that).

People forget that the first match w/ Silva was Mirko's first REAL MMA fight....They even had special rules layed out to conform to Mirko's K1 style and lack of MMA training...
Mirko could destroy most of the MMA fighters in standup either then or now....but just the take down defence and ground skill he's incorporated now makes him so much more of a dangerous fighter...
He was out of his element the first time against Silva....he was sscared that he might get taken down...
Now he just dosent give a fuck....and the result was Silva being annihilated....
The evolution from then to now is a drastic change...
