"We just got informed by Mirko Cro Cop’s corner that his right testicle is inside."
-- DREAM ringside announcer Bas Rutten informs fans watching the conclusion of the 2008 middleweight grand prix on HDNet that one of Mirko Cro Cop's testicles ran for higher ground after Alistair Overeem delivered several illegal groin strikes during their heavyweight bout. It was eventually ruled a no contest because the Croatian could not continue, providing a disappointing conclusion to a bout that had received much interest and fanfare leading up to it. Not too mention it sounds downright excruciating.

I hope he’s had kids already, b/c between Kongo and Overeem, he might not be able to now!

If any of you guys are inventors, you could make a million (on Cro Cop alone) by engineering a steel cup!

I am still a Mirko Cro Cop fan(one of the few left)..And it really sucks to see this fight end this way..I was really hoping that Mirko could get back to his old self and knock a head off..
Also, I was glad to see Sergei back in action..I have been a fan of his for some time now, and even though his opponant was sub-par, it was still a treat to a great card..I hope the UFC scouts are starting to consider this man..

why is it a no contest? dont you think illegal blows should result in a loss? i mean they are ILLEGAL
by newfie on Sep 23, 2008 11:15 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree,that many illegal blows should result in a DQ.

You can’t count out the fact that Overeem was dominating that entire fight. To give him a loss due to this would be stupid.
by RyanHobbs on Sep 23, 2008 12:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
but why? i didnt see the fight, but by the sounds of things he threw several illegal blows. I can see 1 or 2 slips allowed, but after so many you gotta DQ him…
by newfie-mma-fan on Sep 23, 2008 2:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah he threw a few but overeem caught one and threw him back to the mat

STAGGER-LEE: I know you’re a fan of Cro Cop but in case you haven’t caught on to the trend, these original mma superstars just can’t compete on the same level they used to whether it be because they are getting too old or because the talent has quickly caught up to them. Either way, I don’t think we’re ever gonna see the Liddells, the Hughes, the Crop Cops “go back to” their old selves.

I beleive that they are already using steel cups.
I said it all week long, Alistar does NOT win the Big Fights and I just knew that this fight was going to disappoint us. I am no longer a fan of cro cop but its a shame that his opponents are constantly teeing off on his nuts. I don’t wish that kind of pain onto any fighter except maybe Jermey may and Sam Hogar!

You got to love Aoki. He is a Japanese wimp that will just submit the Fuk out of you!
sergie’s opponent was laughable. Sergei is one of my favorite HW’s so it was still nice to see him in action. I just Love how he sets his opponents up with strikes to the body, getting them to drop their hands leaving them exposed for the Big knock out to the head. Like Bas Rutten said, it reminded us of the Sergei/Ninja fight in the 2004 hW grand Prix. its a shame that we did not get to see him fight Mighty Mo.
LeBanner and Fedor were in attendance. I really hope that Affliction gives us the Lebanner vs. Tim sylvia match up!

Question: Is the Japanese dude that Fedor called out for New Years eve the guy who won the Olympics in Judo this past summer that called Fedor out?

Calling fedor out? LOL, guy’s got balls the size of churchbells.
by chefdaddy on Sep 23, 2008 10:13 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Or wants to make more money than what can be made at the olympics. A fight against Fedor would probably make him just as famous as the Olympics did but he’d get paid more. I didn’t get to see any of the fights and from the sounds of it Cro Cop was unimpressive?
by Cogito Ergo Sum on Sep 23, 2008 10:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep, Ioishi i believe. Gotta have your New Years eve freakshow!! But man, i was just stunned watching the whole fight, trash talk and hype just melt in front of my eyes. Cro Cop was getting handled but he just needed to find his distance. Overeem was coming in hard and even grabbed onto a RHK.

I’ve got a steel cup. Works well but without any padding around the outer edges, a groin strike still digs in around my balls. Sure beats the alternative though…

Walk it off Mirko, you should be fine. haha

Low blow or not Cro Cop wasn’t going to win that fight. Overeem vs Fedor makes the most sense right now.
by Robert on Sep 23, 2008 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed, Overeem was pretty much dominating him.
by naturalshadow on Sep 23, 2008 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
so you think Chuck Liddell should have tee of on Rashad evans after he won the first round of his last fight? Why not every other fighter out there just go and groin kick their opponent when he’s leading in the cards so the fight gets thrown out.
Cro Cop does not deserve to get any title shot with his piss poor performance and Overeem should be BANNED from competing because he’s a dirty fighter. and they say Gilbert Yvel was bad.

I wish Chuck would have, it killed me to see him get knocked out by Rashad. haha

I had a tortion of the testicle in high school from a kick to the groin. It hurt pretty bad, but once they unwrapped them it felt a lot better. I feel his pain.
by the_mexicutioner on Sep 23, 2008 9:18 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I am pretty sure Mirko and his balls both feel tired and beaten after tonight, even if it wasn’t for the eventual no contest, Alistair was winning as I saw it.
Fedor vs Alistair is more interesting than Fedor vs the Crocop that I saw tonight.

Havent got to see it yet but what is it with everyone that fights mirko is after his nut sac
by DBG on Sep 23, 2008 9:40 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think it’s a matter of Mirko fighting larger opponents. He is in a weight class where several of his opponents are going to be bigger than him. With that height comes the problem of knees to the groin. They are unintentional but they are much more likely to happen.
by RyanHobbs on Sep 23, 2008 12:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That should only be a problem if Mirko is much taller than his opponents. Not to mention his fondness of throwing high kicks.
by naturalshadow on Sep 23, 2008 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Without a shadow of a doubt, the worst event of this year, it failed to deliver on so many occassions, and it lasted nearly 3 days.
Cro Cop vs Fedor will probably happen at NYE as it will be a fitting mismatch of a Can vs a genuine contender and the Japanese seemingly love these, I have just watched a whole show of them.
Awful….I feel sorry for anyone stateside who stayed up till the early hours for that.
by MJC_123 on Sep 23, 2008 9:26 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
what are you talking about? did you even watch the event? i only watched five fights and saw two KO’s and 2 submissions…
by brendan on Sep 23, 2008 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The Cro Cop/Overeem fight was a bust, and to see the finale of the mw grand prix end with a first round up kick was kind of anit-climactic.
by naturalshadow on Sep 23, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Overeem via complete demolition of Cro Cops hacky sack!
Crocop was getting handled before this anyway but Overeem already hit his nuts twice before and an illegal elbow to cut him!
Glad my boss was out today and i just sat and watched the whole show.Feel sorry for USA fans staying up all night but hey I have to do that when it’s a UFC event!

LMAO! i didnt watch the fight so when i read this headline…i was like WTF? then it hit me lol! slow today! DEMOLISHED HIS BALLS! AND THEN GAVE HIM A MEAT STAB!

Overeem was pretty much man handling Cro Cop prior to the low blows..CC could be done as a fighter.
by Kelvin on Sep 23, 2008 10:04 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Agree, overeem should heve stop with the knees and keep punching crocop on the ground, he would have killed crocop in the 1R that way
by Juan on Sep 23, 2008 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If overeem was smart he would have fought a smart fight iand get credited with a win. but he’s an idiot and now known as a dirty fighter.

cro cop is an idiot, he would be a force in the LHW division.
by shamo84 on Sep 23, 2008 10:39 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I doubt that. dropping weight doesn’t always mean easier opponents. If Cro Cop is having problems in the HW division against slower opponents I doubt he could stop into the stacked LHW division. Cro Cop can either retire now or fight some cans for awhile. A little disappointing but it’s better than becoming a walking highlight reel like Shamrock.
by Cogito Ergo Sum on Sep 23, 2008 11:32 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
cro cop has had problems with height and weight, not speed, he dominated wanderlei and I think he would do much better against the top lightHW.

The strikes to the groin looked exactly the same way they did when Kongo inadvertantly knee’d CroCop in the nads. Both Kongo and Overeem got up close/clinch and attemted to deliver some knee shots to CroCop, unfortunately, CroCop’s nuts got in the way.
I saw the fight on tv, was a little disappointing, I was hoping Overeem would KO/Submit CroCop. The only real dissapointment among an otherwiese awesome event, the Grand Prix finale was insane, who would have predicted that?
by Belisarius on Sep 23, 2008 10:59 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
inadvertent my ass, I could have counted 6 groin shots total, some were small, some were outright dirty.
I’ve got to handed it ot overeem for dominating the fight, but for christ sakes, you’ve been warned and you had to go out of the way and get the fight tossed then get booed out as a dirty fighter. Overeem could have just stood with him picked him apart with strikes or just went back to his GNP.

I wish there whas a way to collect all the illegal groin shots in the world and deliver them to Josh Kos Bagosh.

Lol, be prepared for various negative sentiments from Chase!
by chefdaddy on Sep 23, 2008 11:41 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
After all Chase’s comments about the Burns/Johnson fiasco, I’m surprised he hasn’t already been here saying that it should’ve been a TKO for Overeem.

Fedor better wear a spiked cup to prevent Alistair from playing his ’nads like a xylophone.

Does anyone rember Keith Hackneys fight from UFC 4? that was the worst ball busting i have ever seen. It made Alistair look like he was being gental.

Poor old Mirko. He looked rubbish prior to the nut blasts. Maybe he should hang ’em up now and appear in a few Van Damme and Seagal movies.

I told alot of people that Crocop woulsnt stand a chance in this fight with Overeem. If the groin shots wouldnt have been landed, Crocop would have eventually gotten stoped.
