[nickm748]

[nalbano34]

I was not shocked he lost after he took some ground n' pound, but the kick was crazy!! The leg thing was not good but he was up and moving.

[Pooks]

GONZAGA is the REAL THING
Contour better be careful

[Coop77]

Geeze. 2007 must be year of the upset

I saw it a few more times on Youtube.com

Gonzaga is one quick fighter, with a big body.

Mirko tried to land a few jabs, early on, but gonzaga blocked every single on of them.
Great defence.. and always was moving forward.
Mirko was way to obvious in trying to set him up for the kick. sort of a one dimesional fighter?
Gonzaga is no moron he knew this.
Mirko landed the kick to the midsection..
AGAIN THO GONZAGA IS SO FAST.
he grabbed his leg, and dropped him.
than Gonzaga did great with the Elbows.
Mirko defense showed he dont have nothing against a grabbed leg kick.
Mirko regained himself, but again was trying to set him up for one of his kicks.
ONE DIMESIONAL.
GONZAGA STRUCK FIRST!
MIRKO mistake #2
he did not pay attention to earlier in the 1st round.
Gonzaga took two kick swings at mirko..
one was at his mirko's shins..
the second one around midsection height,, he missed but it was a ferocious swipe..
Gonzaga showed knock out power in his legs..

Mirko shoudl had noted that..
cause Gonzaga completely caught him off guard with that High kick to the head..
LIGHTS OUT, FIGHT OVER.

[dhriscerr]

Yeah I saw it on Youtube, NUTS!!! I think fighters are getting so well rounded anymore that anyone has a chance against anyone on a given day!!! Only fight I could find was Mirko and Gonzaga. Any other good ones?

[nyjetsfan86]

that was f-ing insane

[WEBB]

cro cop said he is retiring from politcs to rejoin the special forces, not retiring from the MMA world....

[TheDfromGC]

extremely disappointing, was good plan though, a hk from gonzaga was one of the last things that mirko along with anybody else would have expected. similiar to rashad evans throwing his hk on salmon. dana has to be pissed off, millions on the contract, hype him up like crazy then he loses to a relatively unknown fighter.

[TheDfromGC]

as a side note mirko was acting like a prick. didnt shake one fans hand and then made gonzaga look like a dumbass when he puts his gloves up to shake and mirko just stares at him and waits to be directed by ref to shake hands. was entertaining though

haha,,
I actually thought a little bit about the shake hand thing.
I wondered if that gave Gonzaga the idea for the high kick.

If Mirko is so looking up at the taller gonzaga, that he did not notice gonzaga lift his gloves the first time.. well than how could Mirko get a good look on a potential high kick from gonzaga.

I agree he was acting like an asshole but I wanted him to win

[Tapout]

cro cop did the same thing to Vanderla silva a while ago --high kick to head that knocked him out now same thing to him---you could tell he thought it was going to be a low kick

his leg still freaks me out I cannot believe that he didnt do major damage--we will probably hear of some done later

[Pooks]

he should had fought gonzaga more like he fought Bob Sapp.

Keep moving around, and evading, and takin shots on the run..
No way gonzaga makes that kind of kick while on the run, but Mirko could.
and also when you are moving around, gonzaga would have had a much tougher time bringing him down, When charged for a take down Mirko knows how to toss people away. (josh barnett first fight, and others) Also no way Gonzaga catches mirkos leg, if he's moving and trying to get positioning right.

He completely underestimated and disrespected gonzaga as a fight, I'm sure he won't make the same mistake again.

[Tapout]

good points pooks
I think cro cop didnt think anyway he could lose and got careless

[thetank]

it was a shocker no doubt...but i wouldnt give gonzaga too much credit...hes not a better fighter than cro cop, he just had a good night, and cro cop was on the riciporicating end of it. obviously he proved he can be dangerous, but i think randy can take him.
but talk about a string of upsets..its ****in crazy...nothing was as ridiculous as st pierres demise tho...that shit made me sick to my stomache.
i actually missed the pay per view..i was in trail BC at a local MMA event..anyone happen to be there? there was a couple good knockouts

i agree. i think the problem was mirko was too arrogant to back down even a little or evade anything even if it was the smarter move. he wanted to come in relentless and get his quick ko. basically he wanted to do the same thing that happened with sanchez, which was full offense, which did work on him but it was bad plan with gonzaga. too much pride, not enough strategy.

im ready for the rematch

good point, but mirko had to have seen his gloves,he was in "badass" mode. either that or bad tunnel vision

[Quil]

cro cop dicked him by not touchin gloves

CC did touch gloves, just not until he was told to. What do you expect, he is a cold MF'er.

[ectomorph28]

Wow, another crazy upset.

Its going to be interesting with the Couture fight. I honestly cant even make a prediction. I just dont know what to expect. Couture is one tough SOB but Gonzaga just knocked off one of the best fighters in MMA.

anybody can get a good shot, proven time and time again.

[Monte Brogan]

anybody can get a good shot, proven time and time again.

Very true...in MMA and boxing, one shot can change everything. Kind of scary when you think about it; no fighter is immune.

[Renesis]

It seems as though cro cops biggest weakness is his arrogance. If you notice anytime he fights arrogantly against someone who he thinks he should win easily over, he winds up getting hit by something totally unexpected. IE: Gonzaga, Randleman, and in that one K1 fight of his against I think Mike Macdonald?

[Coop77]

Dana White must be crying in his beer right now. His new superstar Mirko knocked out by a nobody.. Wanderlei knocked out twice in a row.. Matt Hughes, Rich Franklin both upset in recent months. All the big fighters keep getting defeated before he can set up big fights for $.

[Tapout]

good point coop

[dhriscerr]

I think Dana might be a little discouraged, but crying in his beer, hardly. Did you see the Spike episode where he was training to fight Tito, Dude has a personal jet and all the money he will ever need so I dont think he's to distraut. Anyone has a chance on any given night, thats the scary thing about fighting, 1 move changes the whole fight.

[Quil]

Yeah, and he still has plenty of outstanding scenarios in pretty much each weight class. Having Randy on top as a HW is not a bad thing at all, especially in PPV sales. Then mix in AA, Nog, Gonzaga, CC (eventually), maybe even Herring. He's got good fights lined up for the next two years. Liddell/Rampage is big, with Evans, Bisping, and Machida waiting. Middleweight is a little weak but still not bad. Welterweight shapes up well with the possibility of GSP/Hughes III for the title. Lightweight is loaded. I'd say Dana is going to be just fine.

[therecanonlybe1]

damm did u see his leg

i guess all that stretching pays off...damn

[Tapout]

did anyone see randy coture in joes vs pros
he schooled everyone in the ring
then did good in football even mounted one of the guys and dropped some (fake) bombs to his helment
