Anyone see his debut fight (see below) in the UFC after previously being a Pride fighter. He dominated but Sanchez looked pretty scared. Dont know if there is anyone in the UFC that can beat Crocop at the moment.

Early days, he's only had one UFC fight. I used to think Matt Hughes was unbeatable. Same thing with Arlovski :shrug:
He looked good but he wasn't up against a top fighter. He was a massive favourite to win anyway.

Hughes does have a very good record though- I thought he was unbeatable too.

Similarly with 'Rampage' Jackson. I think Crocop is a better fighter but Jackson will be a lot more fun to watch. I can't wait to see either of them fight again though.

Crocop looks almost clinical when he fights. Does he have any emotion?

Lol, I like that style though. He doesnt arse about with chains around his neck or trying to "look" mean in the face-off. He just stands, looks, wins :D

Very controlled, i would like to see him under some real pressure though and see what happens if his game plan fails.

UFC 68 should be good.
Looking forward to Tim Silvia vs Randy Couture. TS is obviously favourite but I'd love to see RC do it. I reckon TS by a decision is the likely outcome.
Rich Franklyn and Matt Hughes both on the comeback too.

Yeah, it should be a good one, looking forward to it. March I think.

Will be interesting who they pair Crocop up with next.

I was under the impression Couture had retired :blink:

Im looking forward to Couture V Sylvia, I hope Couture wins.
I think once he can close the distance and get inside Sylvia's reach then he can take him down and hopefully get the better of him on the ground unlike Monson could.

Cro Cop awaits the winner.:eyebrows: Dont think anyone will match him in the weak heavy weight division.

He just looks like an aggressive brawler, a clever patient fighter which the UFC has would stand a better chance against him

He had to be aggresive as Sanchez was backing up the whole fight, agreed it will be a different fight against a better opponent but i think the outcome will be the same.

On a side note, UFC70 will be in Manchester on April 21st and ticket go on sale soon, dont think any fights have been announced yet but I imagine something will be set up for Bisping, i'll definately be there!

Not necesarily, everyone thought Tyson would destroy Lewis but he didnt

Watch some of his Crocops pride fights to get an idea. Pride seems a whole other level over UFC in terms of skill/brutality/aggression. Mind you, I still enjoy watching both.
