Man he has looked awful in his last 2 fights. Against Congo he just didn't want to know. He has no fight left in him and it looks like his UFC contract was a retirement fund or something. His whole demeanour is that of apathy and indifference. WHAT THE **** HAPPEND???????
shame really. he use to be so exciting. no the only excitment is seeing if he's gonna get KTFO again.
He's finished........ But, he will go down as one of the finest mma fighters of all time, no matter what some blind ufc fans think
He just shuts down. He did this against Fedor, Gonzaga and now Kongo. When he doesn't shut down he is a monster but he just seems to shut off. He seemed to lose two rounds because he wasn't there to work. Bit of a Zab Judah me thinks.
Its deeper than that though, Cro cop had plenty of opportunities to nail Kongo in the side with his left leg. He was just gun shy after getting knocked out. It happens to all fighters. I have no doubt that a cro cop of a year ago would taken out kongo easily. But cro cop is coming to the end of his career as the top. I dont think he will mentally recover.
Sigh, Pride HW are overrated. Fedor gona come in a lose to some nobody O'Brian or some ****... P.S after rewatching the fight while sober i saw that CC got hit in the balls like 5 times... I would be passive also...
He claims he broke a rib in the 1st round. not sure if I believe it or not. It is definitely possible, considering Kongos kickboxing ability. He just looked like he didnt want to be in there. like he was fighting to not get knocked out, instead of fighting to win. He did get kneed in the nuts quite a few times though. As Carmelo Marrero showed us, all you have to do to beat Kongo, is take him down. And thats what Cro Cop should have done if he didnt want a kickboxing match. If that is how he is going to perform, there is no point in continuing to fight.
Exactly. Crocop and his camp, being professional as they are should have understood the styles in this fight, along with Kongo's height and reach on his feet......and his susceptability on the ground. No fight plan for this fight against this guy. Disappointing. CroCop was ruined by fuking Gonzaga evidently.:-((
CC could've put Kongo in triangle at least twice, and i mean it was already there and all he had to do is just reach for his sheen bone and pull his legs into figure 4.
A good ground fighter would have tied Kongo into a knot in less than two minutes. I say Kongo gets a shot at Couture, just so we can watch Randy pwn him.
