Contrary to original reports regarding the UFC line-up for 128 in Newark, New Jersey, FightersOnlyMagazine is reporting the breaking news that,
Mirko ‘CroCop’ Filipovic and Brendan Schaub are set to meet on March 19th
Also,
Schaub told Fighters Only recently that he would like to test himself against big names of the sport and referenced Mirko CroCop as one of the people he would like to face. Now he has his chance.
It had been reported that Schaub was to face Frank Mir, then Stefan Struve, but neither of those matches were contracted and have now been scrapped.
So, is this finally shit or bust time for Cro Cop? Or is it more a case of shit, or get off the pot?
Is anyone interested in the slightest in this fight?
Will Cro Cop be able to even live with yet another young, hungry lion?
Throw in your two cents below, but whatever else the UFC is making Mirko earn his paychecks by prostituting his name for PPV buys. In recent time it certainly hasn't been for cage performances... The article also cover Mirkos rehabilitation, [yet another] "new" training regime and [yet again] how this is going to be his most defining year.

Mirko
Know the one, that’s one too many…

I’m still interested in anything Cro Cop does, but I’m also a total fanboy.
Walter Cronkite wasn’t known as Kid Cronk for a fucking reason.

I’ll watch him fight anytime, but I wish he’d hang them up.
I find myself in an unhappy medium.
It makes a mockery of his Pride highlights imo, and this saddens me. He was one of the finest.

I understand that. But I’m always going to find ways to make myself believe Cro Cop can win, just like how I rationalize that Pat Barry is the better striker than Schaub, Cro Cop will have a full training camp, and Schaub is could get starstruck like Pat Barry (while I choose to ignore that Schaub probably is nowhere near as incompetent as Barry is on the ground).
I hate to use MMA math, but I’m gonna keep telling myself that if Roy Nelson can KO Schaub, so can Cro Cop, ya know?

No diggity
I come from an engineering background so leaps of faith won’t let me sleep well ;)
I would like for nothing more than a HK to the dome of Schaub…realistically (to my mind) though, Schaub knows Mirko cant cut it and just like the UFC would have him do so is using the former all-conqueror to leverage himself into the spotlight.
Schaub to stick and move for the win… WAR Mirko but i’m getting hoarse….
