Spot on Thiago. It'll be Mirko decision.

my first reaction was Big Country via GnP, but I remembered that Mir couldn't really take down CroCop so...hmmm haven't decided yet

Good find. Relatively sketchy source, but it doesn't hurt to put it as rumored here.

Roy isn't technical with his striking and it won't go to the ground. Cro Cop will throw a lot of kicks but Nelson has a hard melon. I see Roy getting beat up for 3 rounds. Unless Cro Cop just keeps throwing that LHK over and over again to his head.
Would be sexy to see a highkick reel from Cro Cop.

It is kind of a sketchy source.. has any other sites confirmed yet?  I agree with most here.  Cro Cop should be able to take a UD on this.

I think Cro Cop can pull out the decision. It would be nice to see him pick up a win, he was so awesome in pride.

Nelson didn't really seem to have any sort of offence against Mir, I just hope Cro Cop wants to win this one and throws his kicks and punches hard

CroCop will get mangled in this fight. Should have fought Hunt....

I would love to see a head-kick KO from Mirko...but, how long have we been saying this?
*sigh*
I'm thinking Mirko is going to go to sleep somewhere in the third round, which sucks.  I think that win or lose, this will be Mirko's last fight.  Roy definitely needs the win more than Cro Cop, career-wise.

i honestly thought mirko was done after the last one.

i think he could edge nelson.  his takedown defense has been underrated for years, and he should have a reach advantage along with a technical advantage on the feet.

@Jeremy: I could see Mirko edging Roy and taking the dec, but lately third rounds haven't been lucky for Mirko.  KO from Mir and KO from Schaub in the third.  Not to mention, JDS in the third.

it just seems like he's lost his mean streak though, and I think he'll need it to knock out Nelson if Frank and JDS couldn't.
