First News from GONG KAKUTOUGI
Mirko Interview

"I do not think this UFC fights means forever goodbye to PRIDE"



====Why? We heard Your contract is 2years,6matchs



"No,no, I really contract with Zuffa at 6matchs, but I do not need 2years"



===Oh,you fight high-pace and short interval you can do 6 fights about 1year



"I become champ at 3matchs.interval is 2.5months or 3months...I fight UFC constantly. for example,It is only my hope...I want get UFC belt before summer.and keep this belt in Autumn.And i want to fight in 2007newyear eve japan!! PRIDE champ Fedor vs UFC champ Me."

Yea well if he joins the UFC I'd put money on him to beat Sylvia and own any other HW they could possibly offer... Howeever, Fedor imo is perhaps the best MMA fighter to ever live, he beat Cro Cop once and could dco it again.

[SalTheButcher]

he beat cro-cop twice

i cant imagine that dana white would allow that fight to happen tho

[Taeth]

HE beat cro-cop twice? please refresh my memory... I fellow k-1 more than pride anyways so you could very be right I just only remember them fighting once, and Cro Cop ko'ing Fedor's brother. Anyways either one of them beats any UFC guy IMO. Crocop is one of my favorite fighters because he is truly good at everything, and is fearless to fight the best... He is a good boxer, kick boxer, getting better at grapling, he is also a high emd soldier for the Croatian national defense, and he has had to leave tournaments early to go on duty.

[SalTheButcher]

oh shit, ur right, i was thinking about nogueria, fedor beat him twice


also, yes, the jobbers of pride would KTFO the UFC main eventers

You guys LIKE the head kicker? I can't stand head kicker. I mean who the fuk kicks people in their heads? Honestly man?
He is a great MMA fighter, no denying that. But I must say I was very pleased to watch Kevin Randleman KHTFO, and Noguiera tap him out after withstanding a heck of a beating from headkicker.

lol cc hulk for that post, made me crack up for some reason, sounded like a headkicker is some kind pf deranged lunatic.

That is still no excuse.

[Mintymen]

Crocop has improved since his first fight with Fedor so it's a toss up and this would be very good fight, I see the improved Mirko getting in some good shots and a big one. He just won tonight.

[babyboNe]

pride fighters own ufc fighters, they will take over the ufc.

fedor is king of them all though.

Possibly but remember others have beat Mirko & lost to him later so who knows!
