Unfortunately, when REED Started Watching MMA Cro Crop was just an OPPONENT by Then, but REED has Heard & Read Enough about the Guy to KNOW that he was THE GOODS 1nce Upon a Time... If there's an MMA Hall of Fame, Cro Cop Should B Inducted Into it 2Morrow... REED:bears:
I'm glad he retired, he was a god fighter but he just doesn't have it anymore. Good luck to him in what ever he does next.
I feel lucky that I was able to watch CroCop in his prime. He was very dominant for a brief period. But during that period he was only second to the man, Fedor. REED brings up HOF if there was one for him to go in. Not sure I would go there, his prime was not very long and he was never the top dog in his weight. Glad to see the retirement, he could be a really good trainer/coach IMO.
I'm not sure what to think of him.When he fought the best of his time (Fedor,Big Nog) he came up short but he gave both of them tough fights.He looked great at beating 2nd tier or lower fighters.
I agree, his best win is probably Barnett. Which is definitely a good win, but he was never the best HW in any org.
No but he accomplished alot considering he had to make a transition from K1 Kickboxing.He had to learn alot fast and he did.

The guy was amazing. Unbelievable power in those kicks and the dude can also box. I love the way he makes bob saap cry like a girl. ::
