I don't give a damn about what someone used to be or how "awesome" he was back then. I'm talking about right now. I loved Mirko when he was in Pride. His fight with Fedor was  ing epic, and when UFC signed him, I had so much hope for him. But it was just a matter of time before fighters just watched his fights and figured out how to beat him. Cro Crop is so damn one dimensional, every single major heavyweight in MMA has him figured out now. 1,2 punch, block head kick, inside leg kick, take down, GnP, victory! I can't wait until him and his outdated headkicks are booted from the UFC. even still you can't name many people that are better maybe a handfull that's it A handful better than CC? Easily done. |

Cro Cop's fight with Fedor was easily one of the worst of his career, I think.

Okay, here we go: Brock Lesnar Fedor Big Nog Shane Carwin Brett Rogers Junior Dos Santos Josh Barnett Cain Velasquez Alistair Overeem Frank Mir Andrei Arvloski Ben Rothwell Gabriel Gonzaga Stefan Struve Antonio Silva Jeff Monson Hell, I'll even rank Roy Nelson better than him. I bet Cro Crop isn't even ranked top 30 professionally. |

(http://www.fightmagazine.com/mma-rankings/mma-heavyweight-rankings.asp) Fedor's only loss was to Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, so does that make Kohsaka better than Fedor? Nope. |

...Mirko Cro Cop is 3-0 vs Barnett. Good try though. And yet Barnett is ranked #4 in the world whereas Cro Crop is ranked #28. (http://www.fightmagazine.com/mma-rankings/mma-heavyweight-rankings.asp) Fedor's only loss was to Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, so does that make Kohsaka better than Fedor? Nope. There are so many things wrong with this quote... A. Kohsaka won with illegal blows, lets set that straight right now. B. Did Kohsaka beat (legally) Fedor THREE times? No... C. Did Josh Barnett avenge his THREE losses against Mirko Cro Cop? No... D. Did you REALLY just use Fight MAGAZINE as your source for the top fighter rankings in the world? That's an absolute joke. They have their own god awful scoring system that NEVER makes sense. I enjoy the articles (especially Mayhems) but my god...you're using their fighter ranking? It's as far from official as you can get. Proof: Featherweight Rankings: 1. Bibiano Fernandes (who they have at 4-1, he's really 7-2) - Why is he #1? Because he beat Joe Warren? Faber DESTROYED Fernanes at King Of The Cage in 06. What win does Fernandes have that makes him #1? Unimpressive Takaya? It's funny. 2. Michihiro Omigawa - He's 9-8 and has beaten NO one. In fact, his last win is against Takaya, who Fernandes already beat. 3. Jose Aldo - Should be ranked #1. He IS the WEC champion, and the WEC has the top crop of FW in the world. 7. Josh Grispi - So Josh Grispi is ranked higher than Urijah Faber because he beat Jens Pulver? 8. Joe Warren - So Joe Warren beats KID (in a split decision), then gets DESTROYED by Bibiano Fernandes, but he's ranked higher than Urijah Faber? Hmm... Want more? LW rankings have JOE STEVENSON at #3. So Joe Stevenson wins 2 fights, and is higher than Florian, Kawajiri, Edgar, Melendez, Maynard, Alvarez? MORE? Bantamweight: You're telling me because Miguel Torres lost ONE fight since what, 2003...and he's below DOMINIC CRUZ and DAMACIO PAGE? I'm a big Benavidez fan, but he lost to Cruz (still a crapfight if you ask me) and he's ranked higher than Torres, who lost to the champ. Odd. FIGHT Magazines fighter rankings are a complete joke. Period. I'm not saying Cro Cop should be ranked above Josh Barnett in the HW rankings. But to say Barnett is better than Cro Cop is a bit ironic, seeing as Cro Cop has beat Barnett on three different occasions. |
