I love that guy, now plz retire. You aint hitting Mirko with that overhand right, unless you can pin him to the ropes ( oops ) and cut off his breathing for 49 secs like Randleman did.
I love that guy too.Mirko ain’t going to land that high kick on Randy either.Randy is in for a hard tough fight but his superior wrestling skills and throw your ass down,ground and pound you and simply out work you will have is hand raised at the end of fight.when Randy Couture brings his A game knobody can beat him.
i will never count Couture out!
yeah and i just watched a lot of big nog’s fights and cro cop’s fights on daily motion and couture is in trouble with both of them, he’s out of his league, but i guess thats when the dude usually proves me wrong so i’ll just wait and see, i just hope he doesn’t get hurt too bad…

I guess this is the type that Tommy scolded me about. Out of respect for Tommy, I’ll let this guy live in his dream world. Then one day reality will come crashing in…

That sums it up pretty nicely. Both Mirko and Big Nog are out of his league, but Couture has cage experience and lots of heart. When people here say that Mirko is gonna win they simply state the obvious: Mirko is younger, he is one of the best kickboxers to walk this earth (with Ernesto Hoost and Peter Aerts), he is in his prime and considered for a long time the #2 or #3 in MMA worldwide. Couture fans shouldn’t be offended by facts. Cheer for Randy, I’ll cheer for Mirko and in august we’ll see who’s holding the belt.
Mirko hasn’t faced anyone like Couture.Yeah he fought Fedor and Barnett and alot of tough guys but come on theres no way he’s going to dominate Couture.That’s Reality.
Come on dawg I didn’t scold you…Honestly here, I hope CC knocks him out. I know thats changing my mind but I really don’t want to see Couture remain HW champ. I can say this, Randys never ko’ed anyone, I don’t see him starting with CC. Randy’s chin didn’t like Chucks strikes, CC hits harder. No way is Randy getting out of that fight untouched as he did against Tim. However I must admit there is a chance Randy will be able to get inside to mute his strikes and simply out wrestle and move CC. Lets face it though…if Randy somehow pulls it off, it would have been a Long 5 round fight for the most part, with Randy avoiding gettin hit and keeps goin for the take down, cause I really don’t see Randy holding Mirko down or actually submitting him Or getting the Ref stoppage. (unless its that damn herb dean, speaking of, I Really wish we knew who the ref’s were before the fight, its makes a big betting difference) If CC wins, its by beautiful and devastating strikes of some sort. A HW champion the people will fear, finally.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA … seriously: is this you Tommy? You made up a fake 2nd nickname to test how much biased nonsense you can post before MoreThanUFC or someone else snaps, right?
Who has Couture beaten in the heavyweight division? He has never been tested in that division, except for one time: against Josh Barnett. Thats the fight when he lost the Heavyweight belt btw.
Now lets check out Cro Cop: Big Nog, Fedor and Aleksander Emelianenko, Mark Hunt and Josh Barnett. Thing is, while Randy lost by TKO to Barnett, Cro Cop won 3 times against him. I’m not a fan of “X beat Y and Y beat Z, so X would be Z” logic, but if you start saying things like “Mirko hasn’t faced anyone like Couture” I think this clearly shows how wrong you are.
Funny co-incidence that you replied first Tommy. My remarks were not directed at you, just playing along the MTUFC’s lines.

I know Cro Cop is younger and is a better striker.I honestly don’t believe CC can punch like Liddell.Randy is going to smother CC he will make it his fight,just like Fedor did.
Now my integrity in question and I need to make up fake names to start trouble…Guess my point was missed all together. Randys video was funny, ‘I hit him and was like, Where did he go?’
Sorry to interrupt all the in-fighting but I enjoyed this clip…Randy is still the man…
[quote post="1811"]I know Cro Cop is younger and is a better striker.I honestly don’t believe CC can punch like Liddell.Randy is going to smother CC he will make it his fight,just like Fedor did. [/quote]
OMFG!!! I cant take it. You dont think Mirko can punch like Liddell? Are you stupid, retarded, related to Randy, or just ignorant? See, Tommy, see? How can you tolerate dumbasses like this guy.
Dude, do you even know what your talking about? Have you ever seen Mirko “Crocop” Filipic ( lol ) fight? Couture was a great champ who just did an amazing thing, but he is out of his league and is about to be the first MMA fighter to DIE in the cage. There are now 3 Pride HWs fighting in the UFC. For the next 2 years, they all will waste this division and fight amongst themselves for the title and a chance to fight Fedor. ( CC, Nog, Werdum, add in some good AA and Vera fights ).
I hope your just trolling. That I can at least laugh at. If not, go back to the Sherdog forums and toss Randy’s salad there.
ah am i getting under your skin.come fightnite couture wins,you’ll see
I personally think CC and Liddell would be a much better fight then Couture vs CC. They both have the same style and someones going to sleep. I just might bet on Chuck in that one…Chuck has never been close to knocked out…does that make me a dummy too? Of course CC hits as hard or harder, is it our job to educate the world or argue with everyone with a different opinion? Some might say its silly to think Randy will DIE in there. If you argue with an idiot, what does that make you? why do you take it soo serious? Its one thing if their calling you out saying your a whatever, this is there opinion and we’re all entitled to it. Some wrong, some right, time will tell.
Thinking of CC vs Liddell. Compare it to atomic weapons, does it matter this guy has three and that guy has 4? 1 is all it takes.
[quote post="1811"]Chuck has never been close to knocked out…does that make me a dummy too?[/quote]
I guess so, since Rampage knocked him silly, Couture TKOed him, and Pele Landi rocked his knot but lost.
Tommy how could you possibly know that mirko hits harder than chuck? I think we should get Kevin Randlemans opinion on that one, since he’s lost to both of them.
That’s right my opinion is my own,they’re both great champions and it’ll be a great fight…and you’re right Tommy,time will tell!In fact you pretty much summed it all up for me…well said!Thanks!

Two questions
How many Crocop fights have you seen ( Sanchez doesnt count )
How many Liddell fights have you seen?
and a bonus question
How many Couture fights have you seen?
bloodymess…I said hits as hard or harder. Kevin’s opinion would count more then mine i guess..what would he say…CC put me More to sleep then Chuck? The nap felt longer. at least Kevin was able to hit CC.
MTU…I personally don’t see a corner throwing in the towel for fighter safety a KO and everyone here has seen Liddell Coutures first fight. A TKO is not the same to me, thats not the chin. Thats just a long hard fight, there is a Big difference. Again 2003 was a bad year for Liddell. I would be willing to bet You on that fight. Money in hand of course. If its your desire to try and follow everything I say now to criticize my words…
I’ve seen em all why???

You said he hasnt been KOed. Um, his record says he has been. Just pointing out the obvious. And a TKO is the exact same thing, but for fighter safety, the ref stops it. Might he have gotten up from Randy’s barrage? Not.

http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Liddell+Pele/video/xrjlr_chuck-liddell-x-jose-pele-landi-ivc
Dont click that ( serious ) if you dont wanna see a really ugly fight. Throat strikes, clavicle punches, etc.
That is the Liddell-Pele fight from a Vale Tudo tourney years ago. This is a HUGE upset win for Liddell. No one at the time including me thought Liddell, the Kempo kickboxer, had a chance to last 5 mins with Pele, let alone win. I didnt see this live, but back then you could get on a mailing list and the IVC would mail you the VCR tape of the fights. I was in Kosovo at the time and had no idea who won. We sat around waiting to see the brutal KO, and when the fight kept going and going, I just couldnt freaking believe it. It’s 30 mins, so let it download and you can skip around if you dont have the time.
Sadly, this was the beginning of the end for the greatest MMA fighter of all time. He went on to win some more, but was never the same. He is still fighting, believe it or not, but now he’s a sideshow, like Severn.
I think Cro cop is a little over rated, all this cro cop destroying Gonzaga reminds me of the serra/gsp fight were almost no one is giving Gonzaga much of a chance. I hope cro cop isn’t under estimating Gonzaga’s striking ability because it could be yet another upset. Personally I think chuck hits harder with his fists than cro cop but I think cro cop has the hardest leg kicks in mma. I think liddel would do better against cro cop and fedor than most seem to think.
Couture is a class act. I enjoyed this piece Mania. Randy may not be able to hang with Cro Cop and Big Nog, but Captain America will always give us a good show.
That was like Chucks 2nd fight. Hmm you seem to be suggesting he has something to be ashamed of. You talk bad about Liddell, Penn ect. They all Fight in the sport and are known worldwide for their skills and heart.

I agree that Liddell would give both these guys a run. Fedor might have is way with him as soon as we wrestles him to the ground, but you could never rule out Liddell’s hands. You will eat some major blows on the way in to the clinch. Look at the way Fedor got caught with Linland. Liddell’s punch is a major threat. Although I feel Rampage has a great chance because he can take a hit on the way in.
Lets see cro cop get by Gonzaga first then we’ll chat about couture v.s cro cop.But to make things easy,just say cro cop will destroy couture.We don’t want to make MTU upset again.

First, nothing at all to be ashamed of. How did you get that? You high again? This was a huge upset and he should be proudest of this fight.
Second, calling this Liddells second fight shows how little you really know about MMA fighters. By this time in Liddells career had probably fought 50-75 times ( a guess, but a good one I think ). Sherdog, where you got your info, only scores fights in what they consider sanctioned events. Liddell fought Kempo, underground, pit, cage and just about anywhere else he could lay a wager on himself ( considered a good thing, btw ). If you watched the Pele fight I posted, you will see how good Liddells ground game was and he clearly shows serious talent in Thai fighting ( not Muay Thai, whole other world ).

I have seen my share, that’s for sure… More than you ever will… but keep posting, I need more fodder. And, Tommy, please just post under one name.
Man I don’t go to any other site and never seen that fight before, I just heard. I’m only counting those fights that rank. I tell you what though. You talk down to me…am I high again…Lets see who you are in real life. 436 and 434. my condo’s in behind the Wal-mart. I tried to even be nice and all you have is slick talk. You talk down to everyone about everyone thats opinion doesn’t agree with yours. I think your a puss personally. you go off on ufcmania and leave to only come back announcing how he sent you a message and personally asked you blah blah. You have a need to feel worthy and or wanted, your neither. You train in mma you said…you will never be a sweat stain on BJ’s strap. Melvin with all his BS has gotten farther then you ever will, how does that make you feel. I think your a poor nobody and won’t leave the safety of your keyboard. I say I smoke more then your broke ass makes…yes I am high…and still call your bluffing hand. You know where to find me. The funny thing is I asked you what you were doing for the ufc 69 fight so you could come over watch it for free and be cool. I only watch the fights on a $10,000.00 home entertainment system. I could give you a job making more then you ever have giving you time and money to really train. You just like being an ass though. You are one of those people that would rather be right than rich. now I’ll tell you as I have others on here…leave my name out of your mouth and we’ll be alright. If not…meet me.
Under one name? You are such a clown. Cry baby little girl. OWW How can I sit here and listen to these people…ow ow ow. I must correct them..ow owe. I never need to fake me. Is that how you pretend to make yourself feel better? Oh this is the same person under another post. Your a shitty person man. you may have Watched more…I’ve fought more…care to prove it?
damn, i live right by that wal mart, crazy, if you guys do fight i want to see that shit…haha
really…small world..thats cool.
wow if any of you guys really think randy can win then you just joined the mma scene. mirko has destroyed tons and tons of world class wrestlers. he has better take down diffence then liddell and he hits harder too. he will still throw the high kick and still ko randy end of story.
yeah i’m in maitland, ufc needs to bring a show to orlando, if we ever get that new arena…
MTU, is anybody else allowed to have an opinion, or is yours the ONLY one that counts.
I’ve seen many CC fights, many Liddell fights, and many Couture fights. CC is overrated, BIGTIME. His first UFC fight was nothing special. In my opinion, he didn’t look to carry that much power in his hands. And while his Pride fights were good, he never really impressed that me much (other than how loud his kicks were). There are several UFC fighters who will give him a serious run – Arlovski, Sylvia, Couture, Vera, Nog (now that he’s here), mabye even O’brien. I could see Chuck putting him to sleep, early.
Then again MTU, you’re the expert.
Oh yeah, if CC wins at Nations Collide, my money will be on Couture this summer.

I don’t even share your opinion man…but its your opinion, your entitled to it and thats the point of a forum.
cool spida..you should come chill sometimes…unless you hate a smoker as well.
You share my opinion about MTU and this forum is what I meant.
First off everyone on this blog is allowed to there opinion. MTU is prob one of the main reasons that i dont blog on this site……arguements are fine not everyone is gonna agree with everyone but MTU you have some serious issues man. You think your the mma god and no one else is allowed to have there opinion. Sorry dude that we dont live on our comp 24/7 looking up mma crap so you can prove everyone else wrong. Get a life, we know your mma god, let us have our opinion. Fodder the only fodder i see is your pathetic ass makin us all aware that ufcmania asked you to come back and blog well guess what the majority of us would love it if you just left again. Your a dick to everyone new to the site and ppl that are new to the sport that might not know everything you know. Ive been coming to this page for a long time and hopefully a piece of sh@t like you wont keep me from coming back!
and just incase you think this is tommy with a different name i will leave my myspace on here so you dont have to run your mouth again!
Another Floridian to call a bluffer as well. Very small world.
[quote comment="34615"]You share my opinion about MTU and this forum is what I meant.[/quote]
Oh, My bad. Yeah we do that. I just think CC will get in a few over five rounds and it only takes one. Either way it will be fun to watch.
can’t wait.I’m from N.S Canada wheres everyone else from.
Hahaha – what happened here? Everyone bashing MTUFC for what? For backing up what he says with links to fights, interviews and statistics instead of the common “uhm … I believe XYZ wins because my gut tells me so” reasoning. Couture himself said he’d be the underdog. Being the underdog is not something you decide with a coin toss. You take a look at the record, the most recent fights and make an educated guess how the fight will turn out.
Randy: comes back from retirement after losing a few times too often to Liddell. Returns to defeat overrated UFC Heavyweight champion Sylvia – no other fights in the recent past.
Mirko: won the open weight grand prix (OWGP) end of last year, which is considered a higher title than any weightclass title among PrideFC fighters. In the process he kicked the lights out for Wanderlei and made Josh Barnett tap, a better wrestler than Randy is (watch Couture-Barnett). Eddie Sanchez was a walkthrough and Gonzaga won’t make it to decision either.
I hope you guys don’t bet on fights.
Its the attitude in which he says such things is my problem. I love bullys, never met an internet bully before…but theres a first time for everything I guess.
I bet plenty..I wouldn’t bet on Couture over CC…I would have over Tim, but I didn’t. Thats simple truth. I do believe CC will destroy Gonzaga. The ufc won’t take a chance on him actually losing until the get a pay per view worthy of the dollars they paid him. Can’t chance anything on that, thats bussiness.
Wow, my DSL and phone have been out from this windstorm and find myself in a shitstorm

And when you have a myspace page with your pics on it, then call out someone, you really have no idea what your getting yourself into. Lucky I’m a stable ex-soldier and not some of the guys I went to war with. They came back all f–ked up. What you just said would be enough for them to go knocking on condo doors in the 436\434 area behind the Wallyworld with a .45. Seriously dude, not smart. People I train with are on this site as I’ve said before. Tommorrow night at class I’m sure we will talk about this, and I’ll make the peace for you. You owe me one.
Look, I’ll make the peace here and now. If your a troll like PD, you can go fu-k yourself, but to Tommy, youre not. So, my bad and peace, ok?
CC will probably destroy Gonzaga sure but the beauty of mma is you never know.All it takes is that one mistake and it’s over.
Wow! One of the reasons I am rethinking posting on the sight, too much calling people out.
As for the fight, I will never bet on a Cotour bout, and thats because whenever he is underdog he seems to pull out the victory. I really think Mirko will dominate, especially in the later rounds. Randy always gassed in his heavy weight bouts towards the end of the fight (but he also is in better condition). I think Crop cop has what it takes. As far as questioning his wrestling, I really think he is a very top notch wrestler (Randy). End the end Randy will probably lose, but I hope not. I like MTUFC’s comments, in that he backs them up with great highlights that I have not seen in years, but I don’t agree with calling people out. Its just opinions guys, leave it at that.
Also I like both these guys, and I think both are amazing athletes. Oh and I agree that Tim Silvia was way overrated.

This is hilarious!
How do you threaten me and say peace. You have No idea. I have no need to hide. Its why I boldly put me out there. My pic is on there look, AND HOW do you know my face from the myspacepage and say I need to put a pic on it, you double talker you.?. UFCmania said it nicely the other day or whenever. Its nice to SEE who actually makes the blog, so I made it where you can just click on my name. Watch what I say, I dare you, your whole class can get together with all your war vets. You say you’ve seen me, its your advantage, take full use of it. Knock on doors…I’ll give you my address and sleep soundly…Bluffer Talk about this tomorrow with class…lol…I’ll make the peace for you…can’t fight for yourself?
So peace ok?
MTU I know u r a mma fan but whats with the name calling.I think Couture is going to Beat Cro Cop and what.Whats up your ass ma’am.Did u get this defencive when people said Nog was going to beat him?What your an ex soldier SO your tuff now.Nobodys going to anybodys door bitch so stop making lame ass threats, your not fighter u aint shit.Oh yeah cro cop is going down.
The only way you could have seen my face from around here is if you work at Target. Are you that little retarded kid that works at the Target? If so…I’m sorry man. My bad.

haha, true, i’ve heard ucf has some pretty good shows too…
Tommy and morethanufc please tell me you guys are joking, if your not consider getting some serious help, this site is for fun, threatening someone is just wrong.
Cro Cop is good yes and he will win the title but that is lke stating the obvious, but if you take randy in his prime and not where he has to give 150 percent to go the distance, id take randy over cro cop. it will be interesting to se how many people agree and how many bash me for saying that
Randy will remain champ.At 43 I think he’s a much better fighter.
Randy may just shock everyone again with cro cop, I won’t be surprised, I’m never going to dismiss randy again like I did with sylvia.
me neither
ANYONE CAN BEAT ANYONE! However, that is not the core of the debate. When comparing CC to Randy, to some degree you must evaluate WHO they have fought within WHAT time-frame & HOW they won their fights. You must also do the same with their losses. A loss doesnt count out any fighter. If anything, the nature of the loss is the clear indicator. Was the fighter who lost outmatched, outskilled, got caught with a lucky punch, injured during the fight, etc? You must consider these things in order to make an educated assesment. No shame in having a favorite fighter or proclaiming that they win simply because you like them so much. Definately keep your personal opinion but dont be fool enough to ignore the facts. Dont be scared to learn something new. When you look at WHO CC has beaten in the past 3 years versus who Randy has beaten in that same time span its not a matter of opinion as there are solid facts being considered in that arguement. CC has faced a literal who’s who in the MMA world & beaten most clearly. Randy, as great a guy as he is, has not garneredd the same MMA accomplishments as CC. Thats no secret. I understand that there are plenty new MMA fans that are only familiar with the current UFC roster & recent fights but they are only scratching the surface of this thing called MMA. Ever heard the saying, “to know where you are going you must know where you came from”?. Thats the best way to sum up what is being said about WHY CC will best Gonzaga & then Randy.
Oh, I cant ignore the crazy talk about Chuck hitting harder than CC. CC is not only known for his powerful kicks but also for breaking the Orbital Bone (the bone surrounding your eye) of his opponents. When he beat Barnett at last years Pride GP, Barnett tapped out because of this. Also see CC vs Bob Sapp where CC did the same.
FYI, I respect Chuck as a fighter but the man has not faced any legitimate strikers in 4 years & definately not any World Class strikers such as CC. No man is unbeatable & I think it’ll be a fantastic fight but outside of the luck factor, Chuck doesnt stand a chance against CC.
[quote post="1811"]Oh, I cant ignore the crazy talk about Chuck hitting harder than CC. CC is not only known for his powerful kicks but also for breaking the Orbital Bone (the bone surrounding your eye) of his opponents[/quote]
I accidentally left out that CC does this with punches.
I beg to differ and wouldn’t be suprised if cro cop got knocked out in the first with liddel. Odds mean nothing, past fights mean nothing, serra and randy proved these things, you can analysis fights all you want, no one can really pick a winner with certainty. On paper a fight with randy and cro cop looks bad for randy but so did sylvia and serra(in the extreme). Like I said before I’m never counting randy out again, the man is smart and seems to have a great strategy coming into fights, I’m going with randy on this one.
Yes Nathan, I feel it too. Randy just might re- retire with that damn belt, wouldn’t that piss off poopie pants who claimed he would retire the champ at age 33, what a schmuck
[quote post="1811"]Odds mean nothing, past fights mean nothing, serra and randy proved these things, you can analysis fights all you want, no one can really pick a winner with certainty.[/quote]
Well, what you are saying is true in that you never know EXACTLY what will happen until the fight itself. To dismiss odds & past fights? I’m not so sure that’s wise. I mean, would you dismiss the records & accomplishments of the current Super Bowl champs in favor of a lesser team? I’m not saying to give up on your boy but think about it.
For the record, I picked Randy over Sylvia right from jump (believe it or not I’m a Couture fan as well). It was a perfect match-up for Randy. Randy’s strengths are everything that Sylvia is weak in.
Let’s not forget that the only comparable striker Randy has faced was Chuck while CC has faced a few grapplers the likes of Randy & beaten most.
I’m not saying change your pick or that your boy Randy can’t win. I’m just sayin it’s a bad fight for him. No matter who wins, I win. Why? Because I like both fighters equally but each for different reasons.

My pic is on there look, AND HOW do you know my face from the myspacepage and say I need to put a pic on it, you double talker you.?. UFCmania said it nicely the other day or whenever. Its nice to SEE who actually makes the blog, so I made it where you can just click on my name. Watch what I say, I dare you, your whole class can get together with all your war vets. You say you’ve seen me, its your advantage, take full use of it. Knock on doors…I’ll give you my address and sleep soundly…Bluffer Talk about this tomorrow with class…lol…I’ll make the peace for you…can’t fight for yourself?
So peace ok?[/quote]
I tried. Just got online today after class. So here it is…
I own a company that does work for Target and Home Depot ( plus I married wealthy, dumbass. ) Yesterday, after your dumbass post, my phone was blowing. I hadnt seen what you typed, but once I did, I tried to be bigger than you and just call quits to it. But, in your drunkeness, you have decided you are immortal.
Today at class ( we are all Ronin, we have no sensei yet as we are crazy-choosy ) we talked about this and boy did I get my ass handed to me. But all agreed I took the high road, and that should have settle it, most thought highly of you from your posts.
But clearly, your addictive habits have made you think you are more than you are. I got online after class to ask you if you wanted to meet at Cheers in Lake Mary, have a couple beers and sort this out. But your last post clearly shows that isnt possible, so I refer back to my warning to you. You put so much of an advantage into your enemies hands, but I do appreciate it. Thanks. See you soon… Good luck.
[quote post="1811"]No matter who wins, I win. Why? Because I like both fighters equally but each for different reasons.

That fight can’t get here quick enough! I predict that it goes down in history as one of the best squabbles ever.
Behind the back threats still make me laugh. I’ll pay whoever $500 to fight you in your gym. For fighter safety purposes it can be ref’ed and when they say stop, we will. Am I bluffing? Try me. If not…I’m ever vigilant to people around me, try your best. Where do you train? What gym? Come on, stop hiding if you want to continue to speak to me.
Yo Tommy, I got another $500 on you my boy!!! Smack that punk up!!!

I agree – guys, the best way to sort this out is a ref’d fight, UFC rules, for bragging rights. Then post it on YouTube. C’mon guys…
Anyone have the last three numbers of their license place end in VCU?
Not me…decide to man up yet? All that crap you talk about other people, you haven’t showed one tiny bit of heart. Just the cowardly, I’ll get you when your not looking and least expect it act. What an a-hole, you show everyone just how small you really are. 500 not enough?

Tommy — STOP!
Turn off the computer, take 2 steps back and GET A JOB you “no life”, over opinionated BUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet plenty..I wouldn’t bet on Couture over CC…I would have over Tim, but I didn’t. Thats simple truth. I do believe CC will destroy Gonzaga. The ufc won’t take a chance on him actually losing until the get a pay per view worthy of the dollars they paid him. Can’t chance anything on that, thats bussiness.
Well they should have given CC another can like Sanchez then because GG destroyed him .CC is one dimentional(kick boxer) and the big dogs (Randy, Vera ,Chuck and GG)in the UFC are well rounded fighers. CC will never be champ in the UFC.
Even the ufc didn’t plan on GG winning. You know Randy wanted CC and that would have been one of the biggest PPV of all time. If anything this should prove that the ufc is not fixing fights. GG surprised everyone and knocked out CC but who is he? Did they really mean to give him the title shot? They planned on Couture vs CC, just didn’t work out that way.
Cro Cop has a terrible china chin and can be beaten by anyone who gets to it. If you want a graphic sample of how bad his chin is besides the times you have seen him literally unconscious then check out his fight with Michael McDonald. Mcdonald throws a couple very light punches inside, the pitter patter types fighters throw when awaiting a clinch to be broken up and Cro Cop was literally out on his feet. If you watch it I guarantee you will be amazed or looking for excuses for how pathetic his chin is. No decent professional lightweight boxer would have been hurt by these harmless clinch punches yet Cro Cop was knocked out just moments later as a result. Anyone hitting Cro Cop in the head can take him out, anyone!
GABIREL GONZAGA GOT OWNEEEEEEEED!
