Who do you think would win between Mirko Cro Cop and Andre Arlovski? Would it a be a good fight or one sided?

Just needed to add this for anyone that would say Andre has a weak chin. Let's not forget that Cro Cop has been knocked out by Kevin Randleman and that he was also submitted over in Pride. So with that said and now known, what do you think?

Yes, crocop was submitted in pride...but lets not compare Noguerias ground skills to any one over in the UFC. There is no one in the lightheavy or heavyweight division that has the ground skills like Big Nog has. So yes, crocop was submitted by the best (former pride heavyweight champ). and he sufferend losses to Hunt and Fedor which whom are also better than any heavy in the ufc. The Randleman loss was his only real hicup, but i wouldnt really count on anyone else knocking out crocop...sure it could happen, but i dont see it as a possible trend. I think Arlovski would have to try and stand with Mirko, but I see Mirko getting the best of him.

Great Question! This is a match that I've been anticipating since Cro Cop signed a UFC contract. In my opinion Cro Cop is a level above most of the UFC fighters including Arlovski. The only chance the Pitbull stands is getting him on the ground and looking for a submission or GnP, but because of the size of the octagon and Cro Cop's excellent takedown defence I can't see Arlovski coming near to taking him down never mind winning. Verdict : Cro Cop wins 2nd round 3rd minute.

Hasnt Arlovski been between twice by Tim Silvia? In both matches he showed a weaker than normal chin. I would definitely have to go with Cro Crop just on that fact alone...it may go 2 rounds if Arlovski is lucky...Liddell and Cro Crop would be the match I would love to see!

It would be a good fight if not fight of that year. Cro Cop if Arlovski decided to stand & trade leather with him, big mistake! Arlovski if he could get Cro Cop off his feet, Cro Cop is excellent on his feet but not so much on his back.

Arlovski with a weak chin? I DON'T THINK SO. Maybe you missed Tim Sylvia landing some SOLID rights on Andrei's chin. Also, Mirko has very little cage experience, you can take someone down against the cage because they don't have the room to sprawl.

That would be a great fight. I think Arlovski would not be intimidated by mirko, and he would possible take him down and ground and pound, maybe look for a submission. But them leg kicks are a big factor, a couple of those and your done, no matter who. I would give it to Mirko, but it would be a close fight, regardless of it lasting 2 min or 5 rounds.

I was actually thinking about this today. It would be a good one, I have to give it to my boy Andre.
Since Mirko can also make light-heavyweight, I was thinking about a possible match with Chuck Liddel. It would also be funny to watch Tito Ortiz try and beat Mirko CroCop. man that would be funny...
But anyway, Orlovski should take on Chuck Liddel in a special challenge match.

Awesome question, but i believe un-answerable till the end of the fight. Neither blokes are intimidated by each other, and styles,weight,ability to adapt would possibly make it one of the best match ups the world have ever seen. Personally i cant pic one from another because both are favorites of mine and cant wait to see it go down.
