Suprised I didnt see Mikro Cro Cop on there.

[lCS 39]

The thing about Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic is he's not a fulltime MMA fighter like fighters out of UFC, PRIDE, Pancrase, or Shooto etc...more or less just K-1 kickboxing and they have there own rankings, also the fights he had against Fujita, Takada, and Nagata were under K-1 rules. Until he actually fights under real NHB/MMA rules and against high level fighters he shouldn't be ranked at all in the MMAM Top 10 Rankings. With Cro Cops tremendous strking skills and with work on ground techniques and defenses if he made the move over to MMA which i've read he plans to compete in PRIDE this year he'll be a force to be reckoned with. A Cro Cop vs Silva fight would be a real war!
