In the future I like for Crocop to do a Randy and drop weight and fight chuck for the light heavyweight belt

That would be a good fight to watch. I think Crocop would win though.

exactly my toughts, cro cop would dominate both divisions without problem . Its just a matter of him wanting it

Bluto · « **Reply #3 on:** February 02, 2007, 06:58:26 AM »

Well at least there's a chance we'll see Randy vs Crocop in the future

I remember Mirko saying in an interview that he doesn't have any desire to cut to 205 and that it would take a lot out of him doing it. He's pretty must muscle as it is. Would be fun to see, though.

I would see no reason for him to cut to 205 considering his bf% and how he dominated the openweight grand prix. The man is an absolute beast right around 225-230. He would destroy Chuck and Randy. I dont see any of those fights really leaving the first round.

Scimowser · « **Reply #6 on:** February 02, 2007, 08:31:58 AM »

no chance, hes a natural HW fighter and if he did cut the weight i think he would struggle in the same way Roy Jones Jr did when he fought Tarver the first time

Bluto · « **Reply #7 on:** February 02, 2007, 08:41:56 AM »

I'm sure he could cut the weight in no time using the Adonis Principles

Scimowser · « **Reply #8 on:** February 02, 2007, 08:44:04 AM »

well thats an idea! It would take him a mere 2 days i reckon, plus his strength will go through the roof!!!

BigNBloated · « **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2007, 08:47:45 AM »

ugh, lets not bring Adonis into a quality mma conversation. but yah, hed be 205 and twice as strong with them, lol.

Why was crocop brought into the UFC?

Yeah I don't see him leaving the heavyweights anytime soon.

Bluto · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2007, 09:45:50 AM »

Well UFC is where it's at right now. They signed Rampage and CroCop - Pride signed Wes Sims and Frank Trigg (old UFC leftovers)

There's some TERRIBLE matchups next for Pride.

Scimowser · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2007, 03:34:28 PM »

will you get over it. Ok they signed Simms and Trigg but look at the roster of fighters they have. Theres no comparison

Bluto · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2007, 03:58:20 PM »

UFC is going in the right direction. Pride is not.

Scimowser · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2007, 04:12:33 PM »

Making 1 excellent signing in Crocop doesnt mean theyre going in the right direction. Who else have they got? Herring has unfortunately fallen a mile short of the hype at the bell, and Rampage isnt half the fighter he once was otherwise he wouldnt have been given a win against Linland. You will see him exposed if he gets in with Chuck. You base this assumption on 1 signing when Pride STILL have an army of fighters that would rape the best the UFC has to offer outside of Crocop and Chuck. One for the future is Michael Bisping but he needs 5-6 fights until he really establishes himself

UFC are doing so much right, right now. They've come along way those last couple of years. Pride on the other hand, are in trouble. Losing Cro Cop is bad, real bad. They only had 2 names that big. Fedor being the other one. MMA is growing in America. And with that interest comes the $$$. I wouldn't be surprised if UFC signs another 2-3 names in the coming months.

And there's more big names to UFC than Chuck and Cro Cop - GSP comes to mind.

Scimowser · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2007, 04:58:04 PM »

what about Big Nog, you dont call him a name? He actually beat Cro Cop in their fight. Shogun also, as i said previously he will be world number 1 in 2-3 years time.

GSP yes, also Anderson Silva. But wheres the rest, and which of them can compete against the Pride champions?

cro cop is a real man that prefers to fight guys his own size or bigger

Bluto, all this "Pride is in trouble" bullshit cracks me up. While UFC was in the hole the last 5-6 years, who was carrying the load? Pride was. Now the UFC has ONE good year and all of a sudden Pride is done? They signed CroCop and Rampage, and have yet to do anything since but show that Herring was a bust.

The Croatian Missile has targetted Sylvia and wants his belt.

dootle · « **Reply #20 on:** February 04, 2007, 12:19:41 PM »

i would love to see Mark Hunt come over to ufc..then,at least Cro Cop would have some decent competition.

americanbulldog · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2007, 01:03:20 AM »

Mirko weighed 221 when he fought Wandy. He could make 205 if he wanted to. I don't think he ever will, though. Chuck is no match for Mirko. He would have a strikers chance, but that is it.

He's a great fighter. But he's not up their with the popularity of Fedor and Cro Cop.

Peep's think the same way with fighters lol, you're the best that ever was have 2 bad fights you're a has been. The reason is, none of those people train! How do I know

They have no respect which means they've never been there

Anyone who's ever fought a serious competitive fight (and isn't ignorant)KNOWS how much gut's an dedication it takes, and will respect fighters just for stepping up to the plate.

Have respect for the things and people that make your day, and support them or, they disappear to be replaced by boring meritocracy. I've been through the same in the music and industry lol. It's like the god dam stock market, no one has a mind of there own anymore. Everyone just worries about how cool everyone else thinks it is. I thought humans where smarter than herd animals, or at least the should be this far in the game.

I an opposite opinion. I think he should gain 10 to 20lbs and mantain his speed and increase his strength, it would be an even more powerful fighter, and probably could win over Fedor. In a fighter like Mirko every pound counts!
