What will become of Crocop?
I'm clearly a huge Crocop fan, but I'm VERY disppointed with his performance tonight. Crocop is not doing too well in the cage. So now that he has two losses in a row what will the UFC do with him? Crocop may never be able to adapt to the cage. So what will be next for Crocop? I wonder what Dana White must be thinking. All the money he spent of Crocop and not getting anything in return.  |

I personally don't think the cage had anything to do with his lose. I was pulling for him. He looked shell shocked. Started well but got scared of them big punches in a hurry. He clearly didn't look like a top HW. Maybe in the past but like all things in life, time never stops.Looks like his ( time ) has passed by.

As I stated at least a month prior to this fight ever happening, my heart was telling me CroCop but my brain was telling me Kongo. This wasn't a shocker to some of us who looked at it in an unbiased manner. It was a very bad match-up for CC.... Of course, if Kongo continues to improve, he is going to be a very bad match-up for a lot of people.

I don’t like the attitude of some of the fans who always like to complain. When they say if you had a quick fight that they wished it was longer and if you have a long fight they say you should have beaten this guy quicker. Some people you just can’t please. If it is so easy, they can put on a glove and do it themselves. I’ll watch them fight.

I think CC has to consider moving down to LHW. At 220 he could easily make weight.
I'm not saying this based solely on the fact he has lost 2 fights, but his body type is more of a LHW. He fights at about the same weight as most LHW, when he fought Wanderlei their weight was almost the same and Kongo looked huge next to him tonight.

I feel kinda bad for Cro Cop and his fans, but its also kinda funny that arguably the most hyped fighter coming to the UFC was a flop.

I agree with CroCop moving down to LHW. That sounds like the best way to move forward in his career.

A move to LHW doesn't sound like a bad idea. His last two losses were against guys that were much bigger then him, I think he would do better in the LHW division. Plus it would be interesting to see Cro Cop matched up against guys like Rampage, Liddell, Henderson etc.

Mirko needs to see out his contract with the UFC and retire. He has a lot going on for him in his life as it is and, obviously, is not interested in fighting anymore. In his last 2 fights he has not looked sharp at all, lacking strategy, speed and mobility.
He has been one of the greats and no one can take that away from him. But he needs to fight one more fight under his UFC contract, hopefully against a big name, and retire. Very simple.

One more fight left on that contract right? Then retirement, So much for that guaranteed title shot!

If anyone is breaking the rules it is BCguy for hijacking the thread and changing the topic. Take your complaints to PMs BCguy.

LoL .... i think we are all a little bitchy from the Hammill robbing.
Im just trying to help out as there seems to be a shortage of mods around here these days. I got no issues with you , and don't want any either.
