[banky]

Yup a grappling match believe it or not lol.

Fortunal just announced it on nokaut, here is the source

I gotta admit I am very interested to see Mirkos grappling.

I didn't know to put it here or in the grappling section. Mods can move it if they want.

April Fools Day was two months ago DREAM!!! :mad:

[heckyl]

i gotta admit, im not interested in this at all. what the fuck kind of horseshit is this?

[ilostmydog]

I can't wait for DREAM 5 when Semmy Schilt faces Crosley Gracie in a grappling match. :p

[heckyl]

or when Judo master Min Soo Kim fights in a kickboxing.... oh wait...

[Kamatari]

Damn, they stole my idea.

*SMH*

[Kamatari]

I mean who does not want to see this?

[heckyl]

*me*

[heckyl]

actually, i only wanna see it if Ralek will fight CroCop K-1 rules right after.

[Lord Gaul]

You guys have been fooled. Its going to start out grappling, but then its going to turn into a fight. They are just using the old pro wrestling stratagy. Nice try FEG, but I saw right threw your marketing ploy.

[We're Back]

I dont really know what to expect from this...

[mdhan]

This is outrageous...

[PRIDE_Forever]

This is ridiculous....if true.

[Shooto Panama]

Step aside Rickson...Crocop is in tha house.

[Bangalter]

what!?! sucks

[loreia]

This is ridiculous....if true.
It is true. Mirko updated his blog:

[loreia]

It is not so bad, Mirko will fight twice in a month span, so one fight inevitably needs to be against a can. For me it is much better to see something like this, that to see him fight a can under MMA rules.

Though I am surprised as hell ...

[Bangalter]

It is true. Mirko updated his blog:

I love how it's really obvious that Mirko himself is not writing the blog, I think it's Slaven under instruction of course.

[loreia]

Actually, Slaven contacted me about this very subject few days ago, and he claims that Mirko is writing his blog.

[Hinch]

I'm weirdly interested in this.

LOL, what a perfect way to put it.
Same here.

[Shiruba]

How are Raleks grappling credentials?

should i laugh or should i cry



btw
this thread is in wrong section, it should be placed in "grappling" sub-forum
heh

[Hinch]

We need all the threads we can get!

In other news, I've yet to even really check out Ralek. I'll do some light research and see if he's worth the bother.

[loreia]

Great...

[chorb]

it might help him become a better-rounded fighter. i think it's a good idea and i give him credit for trying to evolve. let's see what he's learnt from werdum.

[K-1 Extremist]

Where's the fight with JLB then???

[( o Y o )]

if this goes, Mirko beating a random can > grappling match > title fight I am going to be extremely unimpressed.

[loreia]

Where's the fight with JLB then???
There will be none, Mirko said so yesterday.

"Some otherK-1 star will replace JLB" - his own words.

[loreia]

And what are you going to be if all that happens AND Mirko loses the title fight.. :-P

[( o Y o )]

I'll STILL be unimpressed :-P

[loreia]

^
It is really HARD to impress you... :-P

[( o Y o )]

Mirko vs JLB or any other HW K-1 or MMA fighter that I have heard of and doesn't have a negative record over his last 10 fights would have impressed, or excited me ;-D

[( o Y o )]

but I am in a shitty mood so that might not have cut it either! lol

[Global Honored]

This fight makes me ask the question WHY? Why is this relevant? Why should I care? WHY is this hopefully just a dream?

He's good friends with former pro fighter and BJJ black belt Javier Vasquez, in case you want Javi's opinion send him an email on sherdog.com

Ahh, good idea. I was hoping ralekgracie.tv would be open by now.

May I make a stupid dog-esque remark?

Mirko by armbar...

(pathetic I know but I can't leave it..)

I already predicted Mirko by gogoplata, round 1. might even be a flying one. crocop is a submission machine.

[loreia]

Is this really him ?!?!?!?!

[tiefling]

Yeah that's him.

[likma]

Looks like fight is canceled.

[loreia]

Yup, is says: "Due to injury, Mirko had to cancel his grappling match, but he will be ready for his MMA fight next month."

I guess even Mirko gave up on this weird match up...

[Hinch]

Phew, because I couldn't find much on Ralek.
