SUPPOSEDLY SINCE CROCOP ONLY GOT ONE FIGHT LEFT ON HIS CONTRACT, LOOKS LIKE UFC IS MOVING INTO POSITION TO TRY TO LAND HIM.
HOW DO YOU ALL FEEL THIS EFFECT THE UFC LANDSCAPE?

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS CROCOP WINS BY LEFT HIGHKICK.
NO MATTER WHO HE FIGHTS.

BY THE WAY FEDOR IS SUPPOSEDLY GONNA BE A FREE AGENT SOON AS WELL.
NOT TO MENTION FIGHTING FOR BODOG EVENTS SOMETIME IN THE EARLY 07.

Plus Pride is up for sale as we speak. Cro Cop would smash all UFC HW's. He is suited for the UFC rules wise. I like him and all other top HEavy's in Pride were you have more depth.

-Fedor is signed for a ONE fight deal in Russia, He won't be leaving Pride anytime soon.
-DSE is NOT trying to sell Pride. They were given a few offers unsolicited, and both were turned down.
-Cro Cop will want more money than the UFC will be willing to give. There's no way they would sign Cro Cop for the money he wants because they would have to increase their whole payscale across the board to please their other fighters.
-If Cro Cop came to the UFC he'd have no legitamite contenders.

I take it you are the boards MMA know it all? Every board has one.

Anyway first off, Cro Cop could easily be paid enough by the UFC. Everyone underestimates there payroll and forgets how well they pay fighters like Chuck and Tito. Cro Cop is a Chuck or Tito like fighter.


To say that Cro Cop has no competition is ridiculous. On a good day Chuck could Ko him, the man is not invincible he has obvious flaws that some UFC guys could expose.

I do realize Cro Cop could beat everyone in the UFC atleast once, but he would definitely get a few losses from some of these guys.

I rarely discuss MMA on the internet but I have been following the sport for years. Take my opinion or not, I really don't care...

Pride Has already had problems with paying Cro-Cop. He wants big dollar. Its not that the UFC cant afford to pay him, its the fact that they would be bringing in a fighter with zero fights in the UFC and paying him substantially more than all of their other fighters, including Chuck and others. How do you think the other fighters in the organization are going to accept that? Is it possible for Cro-Cop to come to the UFC? Sure, but I doubt it will happen.

Cro-Cop essentially has a similar style to Chuck. Both circle the ring and look for shots, and use a great takedown defense to keep it standing. The only difference is Cro-Cop has more range, and more weapons. Chuck is more limited than Cro-Cop, and he has also faced lesser fighters than Cro-Cop has. Chuck has never faced a striker the level of Cro-Cop. I don't see Chuck taking Cro-Cop, but they are in different weight classes so none of this matters.

Who in the UFC's heavyweight division can put up a fight against Cro-Cop? What obvious flaws does he have and what fighters in the UFC can expose them?
