While it's not exactly the most relevant fight in the world, Mirko Crocop vs Hong Man Choi is interesting simply because people are wondering if Mirko has fallen so far he can't get by a guy who's gone 0-4 in his last four fights. Interestingly enough, Crocop has said that he doesn't plan to dish on the feet with Choi, which doesn't make much sense to me since I thought everyone knew that was how to beat Choi. Ray Sefo was the last to do it, and he perfected the gameplan popularized by Badr Hari and Jerome LeBanner: keep moving and beat the shit out of the guy every time he misses you. Stay out of the corners, watch out for those slow motion knees and you'll be fine. Still, I suppose putting Choi on his back is a decent plan too. As for Hong Man Choi, he's not sounding all that confident about the fight. Personally, I've had big questions about his desire to fight for a while now. The last few fights he's looked less interested in a win than a paycheck.  So CC's gonna take him down and use one of his crafty submissions? Wtf?  CroCops game plan should be real simple Leg kicks,Leg Kicks and more Leg Kicks until he chops down that BIG bastard. It really is a interesting fight any time someone of Chois size fights its interesting. Any one that size can cause alot of problems for there opponent no matter who it is.  Well it is a japanese new years celebration. I figure the stranger the better. Introducing bizarro cro cop the submission specialist.  Didn't Choi say he wanted to kill himself not to long ago? I suspect Mirko is blowing smoke.Choi might be a lumbering buffoon, but even a lumbering buffoon can difficult to take down when he weighs nearly 400 pounds. We all saw what happened when Fedor tried to take him down (Choi wound up on top and delivered some solid ground & pound), and Mirko is no Fedor in the grappling department. Mirko will stick and move and stay on his bicycle all night long. Yep, although you'd figure if he was trying to mess with Choi's head he'd do it with the asian press and not the croatian press. I wouldn't be surprised if Mirko tries to knock Choi over. It's not what I'd recommend, but as we learned on Saturday with Evans vs Griffin, banging at a guy until a decision works great till the other guy with KO power catches you ONCE.  all c has to do is kick Choi in the legs like Ray Sefo did Also I never got the story how the hal did Choi get out of the South Korean army so dam quick , I thought you had to atleast serve 2 or 3 years ? his messed up brain precluded him yeah his pituitary gland tumor (which he has had removed so personally i think to a degree it was a good way for him to get out of it)
