    Mirko is going down i think, by tko. He seems stuck in the past, the country seems like something from the past, simply red music! the gym and the training. Who is he training with? you get the guys in america and each gym will have names and they will train with each other and push each other to keep evolving, then you see people like fedor and cro cop and you have to question their training and their training partners and i think that reflects on his performances. I cannot remember the last time he looked good or really dangerous. Brendan to be too fast, confident, young, hungry and win by 2nd rd tko.

    It's not about the training avaliable, it's about the amount of themselves they put into training. When Fedor and Mirko first started they put all of themselves into fighting. As soon as a fighter stops that they will begin to lose. They have grown tired of living training, and it is the reason why they are not the same

    @valkyr. So if you put yourself into it fully but have low level training partners you will still be great? i have to totally disagree. All the top fighters these days will train with other top fighters and if they have a weaker area of say jj then they will train with someone who is stronger in that area and the same goes for striking. Look at the wand video. He is learnng stuff from werdum in jj and im sure werdum is learning striking from him. If you train with nobodies then you can never push yourself or improve. All of the good fighters now will have good camps/teams. Maybe the odd exception but i doubt it. Every top fighter will also tell you that without the quality around him to train with, they wouldnt be at that level.

    Cro cop is healthy, he is using his kicks again and hes about to face a relatively inexperienced fighter...perfect set up for a left high kick KO

    Mirko was my fav fighter like when I started liking mma/k1... That was along time ago and as much as id like to see old Mirko back I dont expect it. And Schaubs probably not going to take this fight lightly
