biggest upset - Cro Cop

 

I agree.

18 months ago Cro Cop was the second most feared fighter in MMA.

Second on ly to CroCop in bad years is Anderson Silva.  Twelve months ago he was unbeatable, a man made of smoke and mirrors that could punch you from across the ring or sub the unsubbable.  Here we are now and the world knows that he would like to retire, and his heart is no longer in the game, witnessed by his extremely lackluster performance against Cote. I still think he is a great fighter, but he has lost some points from me.  I no longer look at him as a warrior, who fights for the love of fighting.  And that to me makes him a dosappointment.

Silva has been fighting for a long time. If he wants to retire on top so what. Cro Cop should have done the same thing when he was on top.

If that is the case he needs to do that, retire on top.  I would prefer that over watching him give lacluster performances that show he is only out to fulfill his contract and then bounce. I can think of quite a few fighters that should have given up before they did.  Almost as many that keep fighting long past the sport has evolved around them.

I loved Mir's post-fight comment about how he himself would've betted on Nog to win LOL.
