have you guys seen crocop's latest fight ? no? well here it is..

Sadly, anything he does from this point forward isn't going to impress me unless it's in an Octagon. Still much love, CC.

 

:nono

 

Same :good

 

He's fought good competition as well, but seriously, whats the over under on masked mexican wrestlers he will face in k1?

 

I just think CC doesn't like the cage and feels more comfortable in a ring. Just as I think Fedor is thats my theory on why we haven't seen him fight in the UFC.

 

Just shows that he isn't "shot" like people try to say. I have been saying that he wasn't shot since day one... he just isn't as good as people thought he was. Pride wasn't dominant like people thought it was.

 

Are you serious Widdow?

He beat hte **** out of Nog before getting caught.

Destroyed Herring.

Destoryed Alex, Igor and Wand with brutal head kicks.

Beat up Barnett 3 times.

Went the distance with Fedor.

The guy he just fought was a joke.

I believe Cro Cop is not only shot, but really doe'snt want to fight anymore and has lost any hunger he had..

 

A fighter doesn't go from being at his very best (Cro-Cop OWGP), to be shot in his next couple fights. People were claiming that Cro-Cop would beat Fedor if they fought again, after Cro-Cop tore through the OWGP. The man did not become shot all of the sudden. That is just an excuse to give him a pass for getting destroyed in the UFC. His losses in the UFC have nothing to do with being shot. They had to do with him fighting against two guys who had the ability to take the fight to Mirko. Keep Mirko on his back foot and he is an average fighter. Let Mirko stalk you around the ring, and he is going to take your head off. Simple as that. Not every fighter has the right sort of style, or ability to do that to Mirko though... however obviously Gonzaga and Kongo did.

 

Anyone can go through someone's career history, and pretend like they were at their best for their wins, and find excuses for their downfalls. In reality, Cro-Cop was an ever evolving fighter who was at his very best during the OWGP. He wasn't past it, and EVERYONE was in agreement that he was on FIRE. He looked fine against Sanchez. Sanchez was running from him and Crop took his time, walked him down and took him out. Gonzaga just beat the pride out of him. Gonzaga took him down off a body kick attempt, pounded the **** out of him on the ground. And when they got back up he took it to him with a high kick to the head. I don't ever see Cro-Cop beating Gonzaga. Gabriel is just built to beat Cro-Cop. Great chin, very good power in his punches and kicks.... and great on the ground. He just manhandled Cro-Cop, and Mirko was at his best, whether people like to believe it or not.

I can understand that Mirko may not have been as comfortable fighting in the Cage, but that is nothing more than an excuse because....

1. The cage never played a big part in the fight.

2. A true pro should be able to fight in a cage or a ring. Not being as comfortable isn't an excuse for getting completely owned.

As far as Kongo goes... he just took it to Mirko. Mirko is a front runner, and a bully. If you let him walk you down, you are done. However, if you push him around, and have him moving backwards, he folds.

I also disagree about it happening like that to Tyson and Jones. It is real simple... fighters who you are used to seeing dominate their opposition are NOT going to look like the same, or as good when someone is kicking their ass. That doesn't mean that they aren't the same fighter, or that they are "past it", "washed up", or "shot". It means that the other guy beat them, and forced them to look like they weren't as good. Had Gonzago or Kongo allowed Mirko to stalk them around the ring and pick his openings at will, they would have fallen just like everyone else who did it. Gonzaga just took the fight to him and dominated him. Kongo simply pushed him back and broke his will.

 

I think Cro Cops takedown is so ****ing overatted and has NEVER impressed me Wanderlei took him down like what 4 times ? Wanderlei is a smaller man and not known for his takedowns and Cro Cop couldnt stop them and e couldnt stop the 30 pound smaller Sakurabas takedowns very well either. Home boy was actually being outwrestled by Cheick Kongo. I guess it all came from that fight with a injured Mark Coleman who I couldve sprawld on that night all Coleman did was try to shoot on Cro Cops lower legs from about a mile away cause Cro Cop was tooling him in the standup if that where a Randy Couture type guy who can actually close the distance Cro Cop would be mauled Cage or no Cage.

 

People are just looking at Gonazagas recent fights and thinking o Cro Cop had to be taking him lightly or be shot :-( Gonzaga is being very underatted now sure he lost to Wedrum is a competitve fight he lost before to Wedrum the guy just has his number and the fight with Randy was dam close until he got cut open and it just went down hill from there lots of great fighters have lost to Randy or Wedrum does that make them shot to in Boxingcars case they probablly where as everyone is shot especially if they came from Pride. Gab Gonzaga is a fine fighter and will be back near the top soon hes got a nice beard,heavy hands not great technique with the hands but heavy,solid leg kicks and a head kick that nearly killed Cro Cop plus hes showed good ground and pound skills and beautiful BJJ. Everyone calling him a overatted hype job just shows ignorance to MMA just like those who gave Randy no chance in the mythetical Couture-Cro Cop fight when Randys made to kill Cop.

 

This is nothing more then a documented excuse book. If Rampage would have came over and lost to chuck he would have been Shot as well or past his prime, but since he won it's OK. fighters have up's and downs and because they don't dominate everyone doesn't mean they are shot. CC is a great fighter but he is very 1 dimensional it's amazing he has had the success he has had.
