UFC 119: Frank Mir KOs Mirko Cro Cop

by Michael David SmithFrank Mir delivered a brutal knee to the head of Mirko Cro Cop late in the third round of their main event fight Saturday at UFC 119, winning by knockout to put an exclamation point on a fight that had been dull for the 14 minutes of action -- or inaction -- up to that point.

Cro Cop didn't appear to be seriously hurt and quickly got up after the knockout, but he had been knocked so senseless that he approached Mir afterward to ask him what happened. Contrary to the conventional wisdom before the fight that Mir would have to use his superior grappling to beat a better striker like Cro Cop, Mir managed to win the fight without ever going to the ground.

"I just pulled a victory over Mirko with no jiu jitsu," Mir said.
