    again if they were around about the same weight.
    two unorthodox opponents.
    which do you think would be the better fight?

    how would he deal with jones? admittedly jones himself hasn't gotten to his prime yet, so maybe this matchup is a bit unfair?

    i think it would be interesting against machida. i don't know if cro cop has face someone as unorthodox as lyoto?
    plus he's fast as well.

    vs lyoto i would reckon CC would win if both are im prime cuz both like to use range and cuz CC is better in range than lyoto IMO he would get the **** kicked out of him by CC.
    VS jones... hmm tough one

    I would take Cro Cop over both fighters in a ring with no hesitation.

    Jones would beat Cro Cop in a cage.

    Prime for prime, CroCop/Machida would be very interesting. I'd take CroCop, but it wouldn't be a sure thing.

    Jones would wreck his night.

    If Jones dyed his hair blonde, he would ko CC.

    CroCop / Machida would be 50/50 but I think Machida might edge out a decision with a couple take downs.

    CroCop times Jones carelessly coming in to win by a brutal KO
