    I hadn't seen enough of Cro, that is why I called him Mr Highlight Reel. He looked invincible from what I saw. I thought hew as Chuck Liddell and then some. Problem is he isn't as good as Chuck. He doesn't have his footwork, sense of timing or range, nor his take down defence.

    Cro will never have a chance of beating Fedor unless he improves in those areas.

    What did people expect Cro to do so he could win? Funny thing is, you just knew Fedor wasn't digging into his party bag of tricks. Why? because Cro was fighting like a spoiler when standing or on the ground.

    I think if you get Cro down early he gets very tired and breaks mentally.

    In his other loses do you know what they were like? I've only see his Gonzaga and Fedor loss.

    Dude CC is a FAR BETTER fighter than Liddell FACT.His takedown defense is better, his striking is better and he probably is (when his on his game i may add) THE best striker in MMA in the world.The problem with CC is inconsistency.He believes his own hype and gets caught up in his own hype machine.I firmly believe Crop could beat Fedor if we see the same aggresive come forward CC of the OWGP.But since his loss to Gonzaga where he again did Randleman part 1 that aura is gone and the fight has much less meaning.

    His worse loss`s were to Nog where he was submitted with an armbar (admitedly this was fairly early in his MMA career) and his KO loss`s to Gonzaga and Randleman.Other than that Crops resume is far superior to Liddells.

    & not just Liddell...In fact , He's one of the most talented in the mma scene.

    Unfortunately , He's also a living paradox because if He's not "on"...It's hard to predict if He'll beat his next opponent.

    It's very sad because He's such a talented fighter.
    Seriously , he's ****ing scary when He's super motivated...

    Crocop vs Fedor was almost perfection. (only downside is that He gassed before emelianenko). but when these two were in action , both were at their best...

    crocop in the final of the pride OWGP was also very impressive.

    Gonzaga did a fantastic job but then again...the guy He was fighting was an embarrassment compared to the real Mirko.

    Randleman once pulled the same **** in 2004.

    That's the major downside of crocop's career...If He's not "there"...He's very vulnerable.

    And I ****ING HATE HIM for that... :lol:
    I almost wish to see him getting owned by Kongo now....
    Mirko can't be trusted...
    and it's disgusting because he's got all the talent in the world.

    No one can be serious when comparing liddell to filipovic.
    Maybe I'm delusional but to me , Mirko is faster , more accurate , way more powerful , a better wrestler too + he's got a solid sub defense.

    And thats also why i was disgusted by his loss vs Gonzaga.
    the highkick KO was of course the cherry on the ****ing cake...

    even though I prefer Couture , I really hope that Gonzaga is going to win because it'll give Mirko a better chance for a rematch. (that is , if he beats Kongo).

    The best CroCop is the Crocop that fought in the OWGP.
    He was devastating. He got sick and tired of waiting on an injured Fedor that he moved to the UFC.
    I got the feeling that he didn't want to be there and was just going through the motions in both his fights......he is probably more committed now that he was beaten in such a humiliating fashion.


    OWGP
    Semi-final

    Mirko CroCop vs Wanderlei Silva

    Mirko CroCop vs Josh Barnett

    The Mirko here is a monster.
