    Wanderli Silva fights gayer than any guy I've seen.

    I once seen this guy fight some dude and right when the bell rang, Wanderli jumped basically right on his face, basically with his balls in his face while the guy was standing and gave him a huge hug.

    What kinda gay **** is that?

    How can you say you're a man and beat people by jumping on their face with your balls and being in that awkward position for what seemed like 5 minutes?

    What if someone did that to you in a bar? Even the girls would be like......what the ****????

    Yeah if Randy was there in 2000 or the early part of that decade fighting in the Heavyweight divison things could have got bad for him I agree. But to me the best Heavyweight verison of Couture was the 07 verison if he fought the 06 Cro Cop id give Couture a good chance he would build a gameplan around Cro Cops kicks take him down and maul him with GNP look at what Gonzaga was doing to him with the elbows and hes half the GNP guy Couture was. I just think stylistically its a bad match for Cro Cop to fight that verison of Couture any other verison of Couture gets killed guaranteed his standup was just to damn stiff at one point.

    Dude Wanderlei Silva is the most agressive fighter in MMA history say something like that to him you dumbass. This guy lives up to his nickname your the Ax Man ? Hes the Axe Murderer and proves it and if he doesnt he damn near dies trying in that cage or ring.

    Cro Cop is a living legend.
    I don't know that much about MMA but I do know K-1 and he was special.
    Did fight all the big names and holds wins over them also, just like he did in MMA.

    And while he did lose to Fedor he did take Fedor vthe distance.

    But Cro Cop in K-1 and Prime was in his prime. When he wnt to the UFC he was already over the hill.

    I remember his fight v Nog. Yeah he lost but had no real MMA experience and was dominating the fight to Nog hooked him with a great submission. His sprawl was amazing.

    Yes. He is extremely talented but he was never as good a fighter as people believed. He is extremely devastating and people buy into that. I've always questioned his footwork and balance, along with many other things. As a fighter whose game was to stand up and strike, I always felt he was inferior to Chuck Liddell but I'm sure everyone would disagree with that. Chuck had much better timing, range, footwork and delivery of devastating punches. Even when watching Cro's latest training videos I still see many technical issues that will come back to haunt him again.

    I do like him though so I wish him well.

    The best thing about that win was the way Mirko just left the ring with no emotion. Brutal!!

    The fight that killed Silva off for good. Never the same after this.

    I do wonder whether Mirko believed he had achieved everything once he won the GP. The only thing left after that was a win over Fedor. UFC wasnt on Mirko's radar and he only ended up there cos Pride died.

    Yes. I think like I said before that Cro Cop was past his prime when he did go to the UFC. Or he just lost focus and he will make an amazing comeback.

    That's all good and everything, but let me ask you this? Let's say you just suck a dick once.....

    Are you not gay for the rest of your life?

    Know what I'm sayin?

    That one fight just tarnished him forever.

    No he was one of the best heavyweight in pride. He loss to randleman but got his revenge the next time they fought. He loss to fedor like everybody does and big nog. Losing to fedor and big nog is not a bad thing.

    As far as ufc is concern, he is new to the cage so he had a hard time ad******g, remember he has fought in the ring most of his career from k-1 to pride fc. Let's see his 2nd stint in the ufc if he has adjusted.

    :patsch September 2006 Cro Cop caps off the best run of his career beating the **** out of Wanderlei Silva and Josh Barnett in the same night. February 07 he destroys Eddie Sanchez in his UFC debut then in April 07 he loses so that meant in just 7 months he went from being in his prime to over the hill and shot.

    Depends how you rated him.... he was never the best HWT in MMA but he was the best striker & ONE OF the best HWTs in MMA.

    Americans (UFC) never seen the best of him, he was good in pride.
