Mirko Filipovic Vs Brendan Schaub Prediction
A good Heavyweight bout for the fan’s of the UFC that should prove to be highly entertaining and explosive. Cro Cop has had somewhat of a mixed career in the UFC since leaving the Pride organisation. Instead of people talking about how great of a fighter Cro Cop is, all people are now talking about is whether he should retire and how he is ‘past it’. I have to admit the last 2 fights CroCop has had in the UFC (against Pat Barry and Frank Mir) seemed to be more like exhibition bouts and we did not see the CroCop of old. Schaub on the other hand has been asking for Dana White to give him a higher calibre of fighter as he wants to prove himself in the UFC Heavyweight division. Mr. White listened and handed him the bout with CroCop. I feel that the biggest factor in this fight is the hunger to succeed and when you are the top of the game like CroCop was. It seems to be harder to admit when things are going wrong. I still feel that Cro Cop is one of the deadliest strikers in the sport today and if he brings his ‘A game’ will be a handful for anyone. I am going to stick my neck out on this one and predict that CroCop has addressed any issues he has had and will get the KO victory over Schaub in the 2nd round.
My Mirko Filipovic Vs Brendan Schaub Prediction – Filipovic Wins By KO.
