Prediction: correct Schaub   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  


Schaub should win this carefully manicured fight selection.  The confidence he is showing in his post-fight interviews, I would like to see him fight a top 10 UFC heavyweight after he wins vs. Cro Cop.  Hopefully this summer he will be fighting a Frank Mir, Roy Nelson rematch, or maybe a Cheick Kongo?  I do like the fact that Cro Cop has heavy hands and big kicks, but I do agree that the Cro Cop we are seeing now is just a fragment of the Cro Cop of PRIDE.

Prediction: correct Schaub   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

this is an interesting boxer vs. kickboxer matchup on the feet. different techniques at work, but you have to go with the younger, faster, healthier guy.

Prediction: correct Schaub   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Schaub will be able to stand with Mirko for long enough to take him down and finish.

Prediction: correct Schaub   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Mirko is at a disadvantage here, he's slowing down steadily and Schaub is a young gifted fighter who has shown constant improvement. Schaub is a legit guy that can very well make a run at the belt in a couple years if he can keep it up.

Schaub - Too quick, too fast, too powerful. Cro Cop - As much as it hurts to say too old.

Prediction: correct Schaub   wrong Decision  

I've hoped for the old Mirko to come back every fight since his loss to Gonzaga. I hope I'm wrong, but Schaub should jab his way to a UD here.

I got Schaub by decision for the contest but I'm voting for CroCop. He's not done yet. I will never believe that. Not another Chuck Liddell story...

I change my mind every time i edit my picks, but this one is final. Schaub by athleticism, though i'd love to see Mirko with one last devastating KO.

I find it painful to watch Cro Cop now. He's such a shadow of the Pride legend he once was. I find it hard to see Cro Cop beating a very young, fresh up and comer like schaub.

Prediction: correct Schaub   wrong Decision  

A head kick would be a miracle!  I don't understand his hesitation...his ground game isn't that bad that he can't survive on the ground until they get back to their feet.  the fact that he is so hesitant is allowing other fighters to take advantage of him.  I wish it changes but my guess is that he will revert back to the lack luster CroCop that we have seen in his last few fights.

I hate to say it but, Cro Cop isn't the same man he used to be and hopefully he doesn't get hurt too bad.

I'm with everyone that would love to see one last Head Kick KO from Cro Cop, but just not in this fight! I really like Schaub and hope he continues to move up in the HW rankings!
