But Mirko probably would've beaten anyone Alex has beaten though.
By looking at Crocop UFC run, I'm no that sure. Unless that you're one of these guys who think that 32 yo Mirko was out of his prime?

Could you imagine if someone like Couture was champion during Cro Cop's time? Cro Cop would've won the belt easily.CC right now because Alex has fought a grand total of 0 grapplers in the history of his professional career.
Which goes to show how much more corrupt today is than before. lol fucking imagine CC never fighting a single grappler in his lifetime yet somehow winning 2 belts. Unreal.

Yes I understand you a retard. Thats why you don't understand why Alex is >>>>>> crocop"All I know is I'm an uneducated dullard."

versatility of style is great and all, but it doesn't mean anything.straight up skillwise? i think Mirko takes it by a lot. i don't see people talk about it, but Mirko's style DRASTICALLY changed from kickboxing to MMA. he was more of a flurry fighter in kickboxing, using his boxing combinations to setup his high kick. in MMA he became a sniper and used distance as his defense. i think he's way more versatile than Pereira is.
Yes pictures are what slow kids use because words hard.
I also find it funny people still say 2006 OWGP Cro-Cop was one of the best HWs ever...yet a year later when he signed his UFC contract he became "past prime."
Sometimes the decline comes fast and hard. There are examples of great fighters fighting in the UFC that declined hard and fast too after looking great before.
Anderson Silva (finished on a 1-7-1 streak after being considered the best MW just one fight prior to that)
Tony Ferguson (currently 0-7 after being on a 12 fight winning streak)
BJ Penn (finishing on a 1-9-1 streak after being one of the top guys)
Luke Rockhold (finishing 1-4 after becoming a UFC champion)
Chris Weidman (3-7 after going undefeated to UFC champion and dethroning one of the greatest ever in his division in Anderson Silva)
It’s a rough sport.
I truly believe that Mirko is the better MMArtist and even the better kickboxer, but based on pure results (and not on "this K1 Generation was better than all the Glory fighters" etc) it must be Pereira who takes the edge.
Dude was double champ in Glory and now in UFC while all Mirko got was the lowest of all K1 Tournaments and the Pride OWGP.
And this comes from the biggest Mirko nuthugger on this forum.
