Both men have won 75% of their bouts by vicious strikes. Mirko CroCop has done so in many more fights and against much better competition, and for that reason, he will be looking to breathe life back into his career, while dos Santos will attempt to continue to ride high on his newfound momentum after uppercutting Fabricio Werdum out of consciousness and out of the UFC.
This fight will be huge and highly pivotal for the career of both men, and everything about it seems to exude excitement. Featuring the Rich Franklin versus Vitor Belfort main event on the same card, UFC 103 on September 19 in Dallas should be a beauty.
