Mirko Cro-cop two interviews
Both "kamipro" and "GONG kakutougi" have Mirko interview.
i have already told you a part of them.
Today,I will show you summary from these interview topic
The reason he choice USA
"Fedor make me select UFC"
==Fedor?
yes,His PRIDE LAS VEGAS situation. Although it was away fight for Fedor, USA fans stand by fedor.I thought USA people is satisfied with USA only,isolatism nation...USA's respect and Support for Fedor is surprise.
this is special sport in USA
The reason he choice USA part2
"When I visited LA,5000 Coroatian American come and mada a party for me.many children asked him"What is your carrier?" They do not know PRIDE,only know UFC...."Why do not you fight in UF?"children said,and their parent come too."Mirko,please show us Croatia flag in USA".
I could make japanese know Croatia,but most of USA do not know Croatia.many japanese know Croatia flag color(because Mirko costume is his national flag color)
i notice"Who is the best man to appeal my nation in USA? it is me"
maybe Ordinary USA people know no Croatian,sky player? football player?
This experience make me decision.
UFC PPV contract people is 12,000,000.
If bigmmoney is only reason,bodog and AFC has big money too.But I need Established media and good promotion for appeal of My Nation.So i choice UFC"
problem for new fightfield
"Athletic commission....i think,Mirko crocop is egoistic fighter"
===i think so,haha
"haha,in japan,No public system order me.And i often cancel press conference for conditioning"
==yes,haha
"But USA Athletic commission has a big power...bandage ,etc....I have a routine before fight,and make concentration.Can i keep such a routine?"(kamipro)"
After it,GONG
"AT commision do not admit my bandage in PRIDE.
In PRIDE,We can choice bantage length.Grappler is shooto for grip,Strike use long bantage.This is choice.but USA AT commission decide it, 6foots.but I want to cover my fist.UFC's OFG is more thin than PRIDE"
new fightstyle in Octagon?
"no,I decide that I m not ready for Octagon.If opponent push to cage? there is no corner...Etc,I am no plan"
==Is it dangerous?
"but,I have not experience of Octagon,at ball.For example,I do not know that cage.is it plastic? or steel? I do not know.......i need to know Cage if i have a time,but my result is "I do my style it is best tactics" "
E.Fedor
"I watched newyear eve fight,I worried.
"Oh!! Fedor,Ok??".....But he got one chance.this is Fedor.i respect"
"i think,my complete defeat is only VS Fedor.
vs Randelman........it is like traffic accident.
vs Mark Hunt........athough i dont wanto say such sa thing,I was the worst condition at that time.
vs Nogueira.........1st round,I got s chance to finish manytimes
but vs Fedor is complete one side game.real defeat,
I awkknowledge it.So I want to say"Please keep no lose,until my return match"
"
to be continue
Message to Josh Barnett
"may I send a message to josh with your magazine?
Josh,i like you very much.
but I think you are too much nice guy
I watched your fight against Noguiera(returnmatch 06 newyear eve).
but,You do not need to accept this offer.interval is too short.
keep your value.and take care of yourself
Fighter have to keep "bad and clever guy"side too.
You are yougest fighter in PRIDEtop fighter,you make a history from now"
UFC target and tim
"Chuck liddel,he is Mr.UFC.
and Tim Sylvia........Exactly, not Tim But Tim's belt"
====but you said before it,"Tim is only big....not bad striker,same as Jan"the Giant"Nokja",haha
"Oh,it is too nonrespectable,sorry,but E.Allexunder is more dangerous than Tim.he has a speed.I only pay attention his long armreach.weight is no problem.
but ,I never become careless my careless defeat is vs Kevin,And i finish such a mistake"
his hope
"MMA..........This "A" is "ART".I will show USA people this mean through my fightstyle"
thanks
