    UFC in Germany?

    Awesome.

    I hope he's been training on the skills it takes to win in a cage.

    He sucks as a cage fighter.

    Really interested to see if he's adapted and evolved as a fighter or not. If not, I'm not expecting anything big. If so, another great HW contender.

    I'm interested as well Garnett.

    I've never even heard of the guy he's fighting, know anything about him?

    He's 6-4 overall and Cheick Kongo kicked his butt at UFC 92. He's mostly fought in the XFC and Cage Rage.

    I guess I should rephrase that.

    I've heard of him, but have never seen any of his fights that I can recall.

    What do you know about him DD?

    Is he an up and comer or a has been that they are giving Mirko a chance to make a comeback against?

    I edited that...thats all I know really. He's okay but hes just overmatched against the upper echelon guys.

    Cool thanks.

    Sounds like they are giving Mirko a chance to make a come back.

    I really hope he can up his game, because he could be a contender if he can learn to fight in a cage.

    Yeah, they picked a guy that will probably stand in front of CroCop and throw while he lands them vicious leg and head kicks. I dont expect that one to last long.

    I think that's what they are hoping for.

    Have you heard anything about whether he's been training in anything other than stand up Vyse?

    i heard that cro cop is concentrating more on boxing and wrestling as opposed to using kicks
