		<description>My apologies, what makes you think he would win a fourth fight then?. I think they should bring Paul Buentello back, he would definately beat Arlovski a second time and he think he would put up a better performance against Cro Cop. He is definately one of the best strikers in the Heavyweight division, I am surprised the haven,t brought him back. When he fought Arlovski, they both threw their punches at the same time, Buentello came up short. I don&#039;t think that would happen if they met again, and as I said before I think Buentello would put on a better show with Cro Cop.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;108543&quot;]crocop vs arlovski will happen.[/quote]

Hope so. I think CC was bought for this dream matchup...
I don&#039;t know, tough to predict. I mean Arlovski is seriously fast for a big guy, he was big into soccer so he&#039;s got that natural explosiveness.

Cro cop is member of a professional croatian soccer team! Talk about an achiever.</description>

		<description>Do you think A.A&#039;s going to find a dance partner before december? or is the outcome of the G.G and Couture fight going to dictate what the next step is?</description>

		<description>Yeah definetly don&#039;t want to be the guy who rips on everyones comments or defends Sapp. Again it was just a reference to his strength and I really don&#039;t recall saying he was a better striker then anyone for that matter let alone Mirko and Kongo.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;108776&quot;][quote comment=&quot;108760&quot;]also you said Cheick kong is too big and powerful......??  I was just wondering if you watched mirko fight bob sapp?[/quote]

bob sapp is big and powerfull too but you have to agree that his striking ability is no where near as good as cro cops nor kongos. his victory over sapp was impressive but sapp is kind of a joke. crocop is an &quot;A&quot; class striker and sapp is an &quot;A&quot; class meat head. pure power not much ability.[/quote]

Fully agree with you his striking is sub par, but you have to admit that Kongo&#039;s striking is not on the same level as Cro cops.  Lets give credit where credit is due and Cheick has done pretty well against pretty weak competition minus his loss.  On the other hand Cro Cop has PROVED his striking capabilities against the top HW in the world.  Maybe this is a coming out for cheick and he shows he can bang with the big boys.  I just sit back and wonder though if you switched fight cards would cheick even be on the map?? I don&#039;t think Mirko would have fought any of those plugs to begin with butI also don&#039;t think he would have dropped one to Marrero or those other losses he has to nobody&#039;s.  Can you all jokes aside tell me cheick would have beat or had a similar record over in pride if he fought who Mirko had to??  The comparison with Sapp to Cheick I was making was just clearly to point out he has fought stronger opponents (like powerful strong)then cheick.  I was not saying Sapp was a great mma force with superb fighting skills. Should be a good fight but unless Cheick catches him I think he is going to sleep in the first.</description>

		<description>cro cop will kill AA at the current mental state that AA is in. all AA will do is try to stay out of distance and be extra concervative while CC will blast him with wheel kicks and any other powerful strike he prefers AA doesnt have the killer instinct anymore to be able to defeat CC</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;108619&quot;]Free autographs? He must have gotten wind of Tim Sylvia charging $40 that one time and how popular that was with the fans. Andrei&#039;s got his condom endorsement to help make ends meet.

Arlovski has a stand-up advantage over everyone except Sylvia and Crocop. If there is an Arlovski-Sylvia IV, he better be taking it right to the ground this time.

AA-CC would be quite a battle. Crocop has great takedown defense- which noone got to see against Gonzaga. This would be a great matchup and much as Arlovski is one of my absolute favorite fighters, I&#039;d put my money on Crocop.[/quote]

NO WAY, the hands always quicker than the feet, always.  I&#039;m leaning toward AA, but it would be an awesome fight.  Also, I think CC has a better chance of beating Big Tim than AA.  I can see him stay away and chop those legs all day.</description>
