Good question...

Not sure Cro Cop can keep Fedor from taking him down. Fedor uses a lot of upper body take downs, mostly counter moves. He gets inthere and punches with guys then takes them down from the clinch. Not as easy to defend like shots at your legs from the outside... Also, Fedor's ground and pound is probably the best in the world right now.

I still say this is a toss up. Mirko can get a lucky with a left kick in and KO Fedor. All he needs is for Fedor to blink and lower that right hand, it takes a split second.

Also, Ferdo is not 100%, his arm was injured not too long ago.

Well we know that you go with the grapplers...
Cro Cop will punch you in the eye to win...

The word commit is big in MMA. Use a fake to make him "commit" to a move and you can attack him. Fake a right and throw a left. Bob and weave the head , then throw a left.

Mirko needs to attack Fedor despite Fedor's baiting. Make him "commit" to a move by using fakes and then attack him.

Fedor will stand there and wait for Cro Cop to fuck up... Kick the leg. When Fedor leg stings him , he'll reach... When Fedor's drops his hands , sting him again...

I really don't believe Mauy Thai will stop Fedor , but I'll put max bet on Mirco anyway.
