Same. I was actually surprised while watching the countdown that Carwin's vicious ground and pound didn't manage to knock any of the smugness out of Frank "The Dips**t" Mir.

 

[Thrashen]

Mir was viciously smashed by that ultra-bum, Brandon Vera (who was absolutely dominated by Randy Couture, a guy twice his age)"¦and the Egotist Supreme remained as narcissistic as ever. Mir's been KOed 5 times now. Like Chael Sonnen, who has double digit loses; Mir should keep his mouth shut to avoid further humiliation.

At least Mir finally derailed the Cheick "Chicken Legs"Â￾ Kongo Negro-Lovefest.

Hopefully the self-described "Samurai"Â￾ (Mir hates to admit that he's entirely of European descent, thus all of his heroes are non-whites) will be TKFO by an aging CroCop. Edited by: Thrashen

I think Mir will win against crocop, hes actually a decent fighter, though against brock he looked terrible and against carwin he "forgot that an opponent could punch him" in the clinch .
I love Mirko but im afraid his best days are over.

Mir is an arrogant douche though, i hate his guts.

 

[Doc Holliday]

I really like Matt Mitrione. He ko'd Kimbo Slice. He ko'd Big Baby. & when he enters the octogon he usually plays Lynard Skynard music with a smile on his face. LOVE IT!!

The dude he's fighting is nicknamed the "Mexicutioner". UGH! Don't have to tell ya'll who I'm rootin' for.

 

[Howard]

Hate Mir but he will probably win. Bader should come through and hopefully Lytle beats Serra.

 

[celticdb15]

How the hell is Guillard on the main card????

How the hell is Guillard on the main card????

Don't know but Jeremy Stephens is the type of fighter to stand and strike with him and would love to see a white fighter finally knock him out instead of seeing him usually get tapped out by white fighters.

 

[chris371]

Yeah, im hoping Mitrione wins, hes fast becoming one of my favorites.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

I think CroCop has a slight KO chance standing, but if/when it goes to the mat...douchebag Mir subs him quickly (I fear). Had this been the CroCop of 5-7 years ago...he'd have kicked Mir's noggin' into the cheap seats.

[DixieDestroyer]

Glad to see Bader, Mitrione, Grant & McCorkle win.

Stephens was ripped off

vs. "afflete" Guillard, and it stank to see Audinwood sub'd by mestizo Tavares.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Once again, the incompetent referrer, smoke some Herb Dean allows a defenseless fighter to take extra hits while on his back. Cro Cop sustained two hits to the jaw after he was clearly out on the canvas.

 

[Anak]

Overall main card was terrible, especially the main event it seemed CroCop only showed up to claim a check. Other than the Dunham vs Sherk fight, although that was a bad decision. The Stephens vs Guillard fight could have been a draw, or went Stephens way. One judge scored 30-27 in favor of Guillard which shows that he was clearly smoking crack as there is no way Guillard won round 3, but it was overall an uneventful fight.Edited by: Anak

crocop needs to retire

 

[chris371]

Didnt Crocop claim to be sick of fighting a long time ago? I remember him talking about wanting to "go fishing at home in Croatia" instead. Maybe he needs/wants the money.

 

[hawkeye]

yeah even the judges on sherdog.com gave the fight to Stephens. This a just a case of having judges not in your favor. I think Dunham will get a rematch with Sherk because an overwhelming majority of people thought he won.
