Really? How come the shows he main events sell out and do better numbers on PPV than Cro Cop then? They didn't have faith to even put Cro Cop on PPV! One time! That was it. He main evented a free show and was KO'd and was mid card on a free show and was humbled!

Supposedly the new promotion Mirko signed with (Dream) has signed a talent sharing deal with M-1. M-1 has Royce and Fedor signed. Rumor is the innagural DREAM show will be Mirko vs Fedor for the world title.

Fedor is an idiot if he takes this fight, it's a no win for him. If he stomps Mirko so what - Gonzaga did it. If he struggles... fuck, even Kongo stomped him.

Cro Crap is a joker saying he didn't run from UFC and doesn't like the cage.

HeartBreakMan2k 02-14-2008 07:48 AM

I agree whole heartedly. Cro Crop is running from the UFC, he doesn't like the cage cause he doesn't train for it, and he SHOULD be running from the UFC.

Reavant 02-14-2008 10:17 AM

no he trains for a cage... but the cage and the north american rules are not good for a fighter like cro cop

HeartBreakMan2k 02-14-2008 10:22 AM

He didn't start training with a cage until his last match is the information I had. That and he hates elbows.

Stickman 02-14-2008 12:25 PM

Cro Cop was not really a draw in the States just like Fedor would not be.

he started training in a cage after his match with gonzaga... and he didnt start even training for the north american rules until that time too which the main difference basically is the use of elbows.

it would depend who fedor fought. if fedor were to fight randy in the ufc, it would probably be the biggest ppv they ever had. now that may be because of randy, but the ufc would also hype it like they did with rampage and liddell. By the time the ppv came everyone would know who fedor was and if he were to beat randy he would instantly be a draw. now if he were to fight anyone else in the division no one who is a casual fan would pay to see him.

King Kimbo kills tank

Kris P Lettus 02-17-2008 11:03 PM

Anyone got a link to a video of that fight??

:cool:

Jura 02-18-2008 01:33 PM

I think Kimbo's beard absorbs the punches. It's like Sampson and his hair. I bet you if you shave it off then you can knock him out.

:shifty:

Stickman 02-18-2008 02:47 PM

I want to see Kimbo fight somebody decent.

HeartBreakMan2k 02-18-2008 03:40 PM

I'm sorry, if Kimbo were to fight a decent takedown artist I can't see him doing well. Kimbo has fought a bunch of washed up bums, no one important enough for me to think he has a ton of real talent.

Yes, I said Tank was a bum - deal with it.

His non MMA fights proved he has talent..

He will beat some good fighters in the next year.. Bas Rutten wouldn't be fucking with him if he wasn't good..

I am hype about Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson

Also, there is a live WEC event free on VS. on like March 26..

Urijah Faber :love:

HeartBreakMan2k 02-18-2008 06:20 PM

He also got beat by a scrub MMA fighter in a street fight because the guy broke out some Jits (including a standing guillotine). I'm not saying he doesn't have talent, I just don't think he can hang with a strong wrestler or a good jits guy. And I've seen list where people have him cracking top 15 and 20 in the world? Are people seriously that delusional?

I hope Dan Hendo wins, though I still think Anderson is amazing. WEC puts on some of the best shows period.

Reavant 02-18-2008 07:08 PM

kimbo has good movement and a ton of punching power but thats all he has shown as of yet and based off of that he would not beat very many successful hwt fighters.

Innovator 02-18-2008 07:20 PM

I can't wait for Silva vs. Hendo

Reavant 02-18-2008 10:56 PM

if anyone can beat silva its hendo.... if silva beats hendo tho i dot see anyone beating him for the next couple years

He fought Gannon a few years ago and it was by far his worst fight.. But that was before he was actually training to fight, let alone training for MMA with El Guapo..

I'm not saying he's gonna be of of the best of all time or that he won't get beat, but I think he'll put on some awesome matches and KO a bunch of guys in the next few years..

I agree but I also thought the same about GSP and then Matt Serra knocked him the fuck out.

just wait till andrei comes over to elite xc and knocks him the fuck out!!!

Rob 02-20-2008 12:59 PM

Arlovski and Kimbo is so bad a mis match they should never allow it.

Kris P Lettus 02-22-2008 12:52 PM

I just saw a guy fighting in IFL that weighed 266lbs.. Is the 265 weight limit just for Nevada??

McLegend 02-22-2008 01:01 PM

for non title matches you are allowed to be 1 pound over

Rob 02-22-2008 06:09 PM

Cro Cop is saying he'll do 3 fights in Japan and then back to the UFC. :lol: That Gonzaga kick did more damage than thought.

Kris P Lettus 02-25-2008 04:26 PM

Dangerous Dan Henderson is on Rome is Burning right now on ESPN..

Rob 02-25-2008 05:45 PM

Can't wait for this fight.

Kris P Lettus 02-25-2008 08:07 PM

It was a good interview.. He talked about how MMA wasn't supposed to be his career but was just something to make money after his olympic appearance, how he feels more comfortable at 185lbs, the transition for ring to cage, how well UFC treats it's guys, and that Wanderlei and Rampage were the two hardest hitters he's fought.. He is mad humble and seems like a really good guy.. He laughed off Rome when talking about guys who hit hard b/c Henderson supposedly has a tough jaw.. He said he's just been lucky and works on not getting hit on "the spot"..

He is the man..

Rob 02-26-2008 06:50 PM

I'm officially tipping him to beat Silva. I've been going back and forth and really have no idea who is gonna win but I gotta back someone in my prediction stakes and I can't see Silva bullying Henderson like he has for others.

Crimson 02-26-2008 11:57 PM

Jardine/Wandy added to that already stacked May ppv.

Kris P Lettus 02-27-2008 01:02 AM

I hope Jardine destroys his face..

weather vane 02-27-2008 03:03 AM

I hope you die in a plane crash.

weather vane 02-27-2008 03:15 PM

Rob 02-27-2008 04:02 PM

Sorry I thought it was the game.
