One of my favourite MMA fighters from the last 10 years is Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović. He has slowed down over the last year or so but he’s still lethal, though there’s no denying he was in his peak during his Pride days.
The video below shows Mirko training in 2008. It shows his amazing ground and pound skills but what really sets him apart from other MMA is not only the power behind his kicks, but the height of them. He is one of the few fighters in the UFC who can throw accurate kicks to the head.
