Mirko Cro Cop scored one for the old guys on Saturday night in Krakow, Poland, avenging one of the worst losses of his career by knocking out Gabriel Gonzaga with a ruthless salvo of elbows midway through the third round of UFC Fight Night 64's main event. The win was Cro Cop's first inside the Octagon since 2010, and it set off an explosion of fanboy revelry from the pros on Twitter.
Cro cop is a legend but fuck me he looks 106 years old #UFCKrakow

Regardless of the rematch outcome, Crocop will remain a Pride legend with a highlight reel of KO head kicks that'll never be equalled.
