Well the second fight Cro Cop lost was due to a broken rib. When you break a rib there is nothing you can do. That took him out of the fight when that happened. Here look what happened to Rampage when Shogun broke his rib. Rampage took a ass beaten.

Yeah I have seen that fight, Rampage got fucked up. I still don't see a situation where Cro-Crop could get a title shot. Who would you even put him in there with next? If he loses 3 in a row there goes the UFCs investment, but you put him in with a can and you can't sell any tickets that way either.

Well, if Cro-Cop loses his next fight, I will agree he's done. You have to remember, just last year the guy was a monster. Anyone can have a string of bad luck and not be focused. After all, he is human.

Not to make exscuses or anything cause I don't know the guy. But it is fighting. You could blame it on the cage, the change of rules, the broken ribs, the nose issue, the move from fighting in japan to the us. A lot of shit has changed. I think that Crocop could make a run and become a top 3 again no problem. I think old Cro will be back in the saddle soon.
