Making a name for himself in kickboxing as one of the most exciting fighters in K-1, Mirko Cro Cop transitioned to MMA in 2001 and quickly became one of the standout fighter in Pride FC. Leaving a trail of unconscious bodies in his wake thanks to his devastating left high kick, Cro Cop became one of the most accomplished and beloved heavyweights in history, most notably winning the Pride Openweight Grand Prix in 2006 and serving as one-half of the Fight of the Decade against Fedor Emelianenko. A disappointing sting in the UFC followed but Cro Cop then found new life with a late career resurgence that saw him claim a K-1 world title and win the RIZIN Openweight Grand Prix in 2016 before hanging up the gloves for good in 2019 following a stroke. What were the most iconic performances and what were our favorite memories from Cro Cop's career?

Cortes Podpah Podcast Ep. 09

Another rare weekend without a UFC event means another rare chance to revisit the dusty corners of MMA history. This week we're looking at three former Pride stars who, among their successes in the UFC, had some pretty miserable performances as well. Whether it was the lack of a ring to corner people in, a lack of motivation after a hard loss, or just the ever-present ravages of age and time, not every fight can go down as a thriller. To that end we opened this week's show with Shogun Rua's recent draw against Paul Craig. Followed that up with Rampage Jackson's loss to Ryan Bader. And finished the whole thing off with Mirko CroCop's disastrous first UFC run, stopped cold by a grinding defeat to Cheick Kongo. As always, we're watching each of these fights over on Fight Pass. If you'd like to watch along with us, just start each video when Zane says ‘Go'. If you don't have Fight Pass, but still want to watch along, Connor will try to announce the beginning of Round 1, so you can sync other video sources there.

After weeks of seeing a young Yuji Nagata cut his teeth on Thunder during his NJPW excursion, we take a look at his MMA career that spans only two fights but they're against two of the scariest heavyweights to ever step foot in an MMA ring: Mirko CroCop and “The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko.

Rising from being a track athlete, boxer and member of the Croatian army, this fan of “Bloodsport” and JCVD emerged as one of the world's best kickboxers and mixed martial artists of his time. An amazing athlete who established himself largely after his prime but during the rise of MMA, Cro Cop was a fan and sport favorite for the better part of two decades.

Growing up as a Sydney street kid bouncing between government housing and homelessness, Peter Graham was wandering aimlessly through life. Dropping into a karate studio one day, he figured it was a chance to finally be good at… something.This led to a series of opportunities beginning as an ‘uchi-deshi’ live-in student in Tokyo as a Kuyokushin karate student under Japanese karate master Mas Oyama, and gave him the opportunity to compete in the world’s most popular kickboxing tournament, K-1, before being pushed out by the Kyokushin Karate Association.Professionally, Peter’s competed in numerous disciplines including full contact karate, K-1, MMA, and boxing. He covers the stylistic differences between martial arts, his rivalry with Badr Hari and the ‘rolling thunder’, and how his fight with Alexander Emelianenko brought him back from obscurity.Along the way we discuss the personalities he encountered including Mark Hunt, Ernesto Hoost, Bob Sapp, Wanderlei Silva, Cro Cop, Badr and the Emelianenko brothers.Find out more about Peter here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Graham_(fighter).

In these tough times, the good old Triple P is stepping up to the penalty spot, ready to ripple the back of your net with a Julian Dicks-style volley of content over the coming weeks. First up on the docket is an unreleased pilot from David’s in-stasis project Purotrash with Grand Exalted Viceroy of Channel Islands World Wrestling, Patrick W Reed (@Patrick_W_Reed). David and Patrick dive headfirst into the bizarre world of wrestling on Eurosport from the late 1980s and 1990s, taking in Croatia’s greatest export that’s not named Davor Suker or Cro Cop, distorted Dutch pornography, and the bizarre apartheid sympathising of one Orig Williams. Recorded on 5 April 2019, sit back, pop your earbuds in, lie back and transport yourself to a world where you can buy any type of rice you want, and have friends round to watch all those Collective shows you spunked an entire capital portfolio of ill-gotten FITE TV credits on. Stay safe, and uphold Inokiism. Matches: Owen Hart vs. Colonel Brody Mile Zrno vs. Fit Finlay

PRIDE FC gehörte zu den MMA Giganten. Schlachten zwischen Legenden wie Fedor und Cro Cop, Unterhaltungskämpfe wie von Butterbean und riesige Shows gehörten zu deren Profil. Was machte PRIDE aus und warum gingen sie unter? Auf den Nachfolger RIZIN gehe ich in einer anderen Episode näher ein. Viel Spaß! :)

Asian MMA Weekend Recap May 3-5 2019 - Asian MMA Podcast Episode 20    Before we get right into the fight action from the weekend, I’ve got to give a shout out to two fighters who have cut their teeth in the Asian MMA scene over the years and have been making some serious moves as of late. First up a big shot out to Cole Smith who made a successful UFC Debut over the weekend. The Cole Train spent a lot of time training up in Chiangmai Thailand with Team Quest Thailand, under the tutelage of Dylan Fussell. Cole cut his teeth in the Bangkok based promotion Full Metal Dojo, having an amateur fight under their banner, and making his pro debut with Thailand Ring Wars back in 2016. This isn’t on Coles record, but if my memory serves me correctly I saw Cole fight in a very underground promotion out in Pathum Thani, Thailand called Ring Wars, this was pure grit, they set up mats in a parking garage, slapped some cage around it and held a one-day tournament. Amature, pro, it didn’t matter. You just showed up and banged. The second shout out is to another FMD Alumn and Rizin Heavyweight Grand Prix finalist Amir Aliakbari who signed with the UFC over the weekend! Amir is an Iranian beast who other than his only loss to the legend of CroCop has smashed everyone else he has faced, having gone the distance just once in his 10-1 career. He was basically the most feared heavyweight in Asian MMA for a long time, Also happens to be one of the nicest dudes in the game. He was training out of AKA Thailand with Mike Swick for a while, I’m not sure if that is still the case, I have heard conflicting reports, and have not had that confirmed by Amir as of yet. It looks like he will be making his UFC debut on their upcoming Abu Dhabi show in September, no opponent has been announced, but I am looking forward to that one for sure. One thing that has to be pointed out regarding Amir is that he has a lifetime band from wrestling due to a positive PED test. Of course, we all assume that fighting for Rizin and ACB these types of things are not an issue, but signing with the UFC means he will have to enter their USADA testing pool. My hope is that this won’t impact his ability to compete in the UFC, but only time will tell. But my fingers are crossed. On to this weekends events. The first one is the IMMAF Asian Open Championships held right here in Bangkok. Now Bangkok was a last minute replacement location for the championships. They were supposed to be held in China, but there were some administrative difficulties so the Thailand branch of IMMAF stepped up and organized the tournament on about two months notice. The event went really well. It was held right in the middle of the city, so it was easy to get to. And they put on three days of amazing fights. The tournament was full representative of the Asian members of IMMAF, but what we saw when you look at the results were that for the most part Kazakhstan and Bahrain pretty much dominated every single division. Of the 15 divisions, just 3 were won by fighters from other countries, and of the 15 division, Kazakhstan won 7 of them. There is something special in the water there. Clearly, the wrestling base played a very big role in the Kazak teams success, as did their overall conditioning.

Sean Ross Sapp and Showdown Joe uncork a bunch of news! - Cro Cop retires - UFC 235 - UFC Wichita - More!

After a delightful video of a heroic cashier using some impressive striking abilities to protect a large man from an even larger man getting bullied in her store, we discuss UFC 235, especially the Askren Lawler fight, and eventually Zeke takes us on a tour of the VERY recently retired Mirko Cro Cop. A certain legend of the sport who inspires us to get a bit philosophical about why humans love to invest so much in things (like their lives) just to destroy them. Along the way we discuss the power of simple 1s and 2s, injuring yourself on the dismount, the personal curse of Jon Jones, watermelon crushing, why the older brother choke is surprising, why MMA is safer than other contact sports, Usman being the first african born champ, how happy we are for Tyron the artist, and how silly it is that samurai would work so hard on their bodies just to go chop 'em up in a field.If you feel like skipping to a specific section:Viral Fight Stuff - always right at the topSport Fight Stuff - 8:48Educational Fight Stuff - 24:55If you have a suggestion for viral clip of the week, or a topic related to anything fight stuff you think we should explore, email us at fightstuffpodcast@gmail.com , follow us on instagram http://www.instagram.com/fightstuffpodcast , and if you dig the who leave us a nice review!You can also find us individually http://www.instagram.com/zekethomasisrad and http://www.instagram.com/jarrett_sleeper See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
