Cro Cop claims Lesnar win is bad for MMA

Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic claims Brock Lesnar’s victory over Frank Mir at UFC 100 is a bad thing for mixed martial arts.

Lesnar became the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion with his win over Mir.

Cro Cop told Croatian website Index.hr: “I must point out that his victory is a defeat for the sport as such. Don’t get me wrong, Lesnar is a fearsome and very dangerous opponent, but I am old school, I prefer skill and technique.

“This win was a defeat of martial skills. Much of what he achieved in the fight is a result of pure power… Of course, Lesnar has quality sparring partners, is an experienced wrestler and a man who learns very quickly. But he is yet to have a real struggle. He does not have many fights in his career and I would love to see how he would react to two or three good low kicks.”
