Mir On Cro Cop: I Can Beat Him In More Ways Than He Can Beat Me
Posted on Sep 4, 2010
The always confident Frank Mir will face Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 119 and the former UFC Heavyweight Champion talks about his chances against the former Pride Grand Prix winner when they meet up in the Octagon later this month:

"I think Crocop is still the same individual we saw in PRIDE. I think a lot of guys have seen enough tape on him to know that if you walk away from him or stand there in front of him you could be in for a dangerous night because he still has the same leg he always had. He has a lot of speed and quickness … Mirko is very good on his feet; I’m not bad on my feet, either. Add in the wrestling that I have been working on, the jiu-jitsu aspect, he has many more things to worry about. Once that cage door shuts every advantage is mine.... I don’t see anywhere I don’t feel comfortable with Cro Cop – I can beat him in more ways than he can beat me."

Mir is the man!
He's too smart and too skilled to be beaten by Cro Cop. But it does not mean that he should overlook him either. Cro Cop is always dangerous, but Mir has the upperhand.
