Author Topic: Greatest Fight Ever: Fedor vs Crocop. (Read 14752 times)

  I have been a fan of MMA since the first UFC back in 1993. I have watched pretty much every relevant fight from all fighting organizations since.

  Of all the fights I've ever see, this one was the greatest. It happened in PRIDE FC in 2005, for the heavyweight title, between Fedor and Crocop. This was also Fedor's toughest fight ever. He walked all over Nog twice, but he had to sweat and lose blood to defeat Mirko. He is, after all, the greatest leg striker ever and easily one of the top 5 hand striker as well. I remember that I bought the event on pay-per-view with one month left to the fight day, and it was worth every penny.

  Here is the introduction: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R22RBq66LU&feature=fvsr

  And here is the fight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXdEMOrKB6M

PS . Fedor has the coolest intro song ever.

I wonder if 380 lbs special forces martial artist/cliff-scaler extraordinaire SUCKMYMUSCLE would have any trouble demolishing Fedor in under a minute?

Lol, you can't compare the washed up Crocop that fights today in the UFC with prime Crocop. Mirko is shit compared to what he used to be. A prime Crocop would easily defeat all of the current UFC heavyweights with the possible exception of Brock.

listen, I'm a huge CroCop fan but he was on his bicycle during a good majority of that fight

the greatest fight I ever saw was sakuraba vs newton in PRIDE 5 (I'm not sure it was 5 but it was a early PRIDE)

Wrong, this is the greatest fight ever, its never shown due to Mcclellan getting brain damage from it, Benn the Super Middle weight champ and British, vs the biggest puncher in boxing and the amercan middleweight champ mclellan, mccellan collapses in the ring at the end of the fight.

Mcclellan is a vegetable now, deaf and blind, in a wheelchair with limited functions.

Yeah, I'm sort of at a loss for words. I would think that prior to his fight had he known this would be the result, he probably would say it would be worth it? But now, it's sad to see the guy can't even remember the past 30secs of his life.

Thing is, I've been a fight fan (mostly in the past), and I would be alright if there were no more "fighting" sports. Why? Because of shit like this. I wonder if these guys really give any thought to what they are doing to themselves and each other. Is it worth it?

Shit, some make some insane amounts of money, while other are fortunate to get ANYTHING. I wouldn't risk my brains and health over money. My health is my biggest asset. What's the point of having wealth, if you're not healthy?

Now how is this guy financially? Is he okay, did he do alright when he was in his prime? He's gotta be taken care of 24 hours a day.

Nigel Benn v Chris Eubank in 1993 was one of the greatest fights ever IMO - those guys were slugging each other non stop for 12 rounds right from the get-go. I think Eubank won on points in the end.

Eubank stopped him in round 9.

Good book about Benn v McClellen:

Does paint McClellen as a bit of a cunt, though.
