Frank Mir and Mirko Filipovi? will square off in one of the biggest fights of the night in the UFC 119 event that will take place on the 25th of September. These two fighters are in different points of their career, but they will each bring all that they’ve got to the ring on the 25th.
Mirko Filipovic, otherwise known as “Cro Cop” will take the ring as an underdog. Despite the fact that he is the underdog entering the fight nobody expects him to just keep over and lose the match without a solid fight. Cro Cop is known as one of the tougher, more experienced fighters around and will bring all he has.
Cro Cop has a great strength in the realm of kickboxing and you can expect him to try to get a few solid shots in with his leg. He is known to put away his opponents with a powerful kick to the head. If he manages to land one solid kick like that he may be able to take away the fight.
Frank Mir has shown flashes of being as good as any fighter in the world, yet he has not quite been able to keep it up. He beat Brock Lesnar, one of the biggest names in the world previously and was known as the top fighter in the world. He has since lost to Lesnar and also Shane Carwin. This fight will be important as he tries to rebound.
Look for a tough fight as each fighter tries to show what they are all about.
