CroCop is just entering his prime and he is light years ahead of Oleg at any point in his. Oleg's strength was his no quit attitude, he would never give up and at that point in MMA you had that choice to make since the ref was'nt likely to stop things. but it does'nt matter how much you want to continue when you're knocked out cold. Oleg was a TERRIBLE striker and CroCop would have KO'd him with minutes of the 1st round.

Oleg admitted that he worked the Shamrock fight to a draw, and that he didnt want to beat Ken recently on UFC classics 7. Made me lose lots of respect for 'the russian bear'

I bought the dvd recently and saw that interview too. I think he talked about at one point having Ken's leg open for a kneebar, but didn't go for it. He should've locked it down.
