CroCop has never fought a Muay Thai fighter before?

Aside from his draw to Wanderlei, I don't think he's ever fought another Muay Thai fighter? Mirko fights best when his opponents are at a distance, and he makes sure to circle out if they try to close the gap. Wanderlei has a real good Muay Thai clinch though and he will be able to hold Mirko in it the same way he held Quinton Jackson.

I think that CC is going to beat Wanderlei.
But you never know. I am looking forward to this more than Chuck vs Silva.

He fought Remy Bonjasky in K-1 who's a muay thai fighter... I doubt Wanderlei will be able to get clinch on Cro COp... I think he'll give Cro Cop problems w/ the way he comes forward and maybe that'll open up a takedown for Wanderlei.

No, K1 is open to any striking style, not just Muay Thai. You should no that before you post about it.

K-1 only allows one knee in a Muay Thai clinch, any more is considered a foul.

don't they really limit the clinch also? like you're only allowed to throw one knee in the clinch and the ref breaks it or something
