UFC 128: Brendan Schaub Knocks Out Mirko Cro Cop

by Michael David SmithMirko Cro Cop suffers KO loss to Brendan Schaub at UFC 128.A fairly slow-paced heavyweight fight ended in a sudden burst of violence Saturday night, as Brendan Schaub delivered a stunning knockout blow to Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 128.

Late in the third round, with the fight looking close to going the distance, Schaub hit Cro Cop with a huge right hand that sent Cro Cop head-first into the canvas. Cro Cop was already out, but Schaub pounced and landed another hard punch before referee Herb Dean stopped it.

Schaub, who improved his record to 8-1, hugged the legendary Cro Cop afterward and said, "You're the reason I got started, Mirko."
