Not that CC ain't pretty darn shot, but still don't get those saying nelson will destroy him. At the elite level (or near elite) v Mir and jds nelson has shown a chin and not too much else. nelson apparently even showed worse stamina vs mir. haven't seen too much devastating power from big roy either (rather just enuff to get jds attention a little late in that fight). I just don't see big roy as a guy that's really gonn lay out cc as cc has appeared susceptible to as of late. more than likely cc will fight cautious enough early on and fat roy will be too tired to tap that chin late and the fight could well be competitive
If Roy has trouble landing anything, he's taking this to the ground. Cro Cop's grappling has looked less than efficient in the octagon, and Nelson will not have a lot of trouble with him once he gets him there.
Nelson will finish Cro Cop so easily it's just not fair anymore... i still have my Pride 2006 Openweight GP DVD set and i'd rather remember Cro Cop for who he was... not who he is :verysad Lynchburg
Why stop at light heavy? Why not go all the way to bantam. He'd only have to starve himself for a 6 months or so and cut both his legs off.
hmm interesting fight between the two but i hope cc can outstrike him but i have a feeling that roy will beat cc by sub
I think this is the end. He must have one fight left on his contract and they are cashing in. He is 4-5 in the UFC. I think the only high profile fighter with a worse record is Silva who is 2-7 I think.
Cro Cop could fight 205lbers as a heavy and he'd still get beaten easily by the top guy's. Cutting to 205 would make him even easier to beat.
Anyone who thinks Nelson can't detonate a bomb on CroCop's chin and is judging him for his performances against JDS and Mir, prepare to see CroCop hit the ground savagely one more time.
You like the gym, you like specimens but every now and again you love to jump to the defence of a fatty. Fedor, now Nelson. What other fatties do you like?
CroCop has already said he couldn't make the cut. And besides, it's a very stupid idea. Going down in weight? That'll make him more likely to take a good shot. He's done man, same with Wanderlei, same as Chuck.
He was talking about Cro Cop making the cut to light heavy. I'm sure Scurl's opinion of Nelson would be a bit harsh
What you on about? Nelson is a sack of ****. Your perception of what is "fat" is a strange one. CC is a heavyweight end of story.
