The OCTAGON vs The RING...

Then blame Cro-Cops loss on his arrogance, not the cage.


Oh, and Mirko fought Eddie Sanchez in the cage before he fought Gonzaga.

Well actually CroCop made his UFC debut against Eddie Sanchez in the cage. Gonzaga was his second fight. But I do agree with you that CroCop was unsure of himself and timid.

 

I agree with this completely. Anyone who has watched Crocop in Pride or K1 knows that he fought much more aggressively and confident when in a ring.

 

Oddly enough, he was never at all aggressive or confident against Fedor.

 

i think cro cops problem against gonzaga was CLEARLY the elbows.

when you have wrist control and a closed guard with no elbows it basically becomes a stalemate...but when the opponent can posture up and slam the elbow of the hand/wrist you are grabbing into your face it makes things very uncomfortable.

 

Cro Cop lost because of the cage. - REED

I'd have to call you a fool if you didn't think that it was a contributing factor.

I guess I'm a fool then. Call me whatever makes you feel better. It's opinion.

 

Haha, nah, you're far better than that bro. I wouldn't insult you by saying anything like that. I mean a little smack talk is one thing but calling someone Querty is going too far. ::
