“Mirko (Crocop) is very good on his feet; I’m not bad on my feet either. Add in the wrestling that I have been working on, the jiu jitsu aspect, he has many more things to worry about. Once that cage door shuts every advantage is mine.”
“I don’t see anywhere I don’t feel comfortable with CroCop – I can beat him in more ways than he can beat me.”
