Cant wait for the debut of Crocop!

The card is pretty much all squash matches to build up the newly acquired talent. Reminds me of WWF circa 1984 when it was all stars vs jobbers.

Hopefully there will be some highlight reel knockouts from cropcop and Silva and at least one huge slam from Rampage.

Should be highly entertaining :)

shitty card.

dj_soo · #5 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 07

meh, it's just like Pride: The Real Deal. A bunch of one-sided beatdowns, few competetitive fights, with the occasional chance of a major upset.

At the very least, we'll see some good KOs hopefully...

If you've only been introduced to MMA via UFC in the last year, you're about to see some truly next-level guys coming into the octogon.

lttle known fact..........Mirko Cro Cop breaks more ribs than any other fighter, thats what opens up those huge head kicks, notice how he always throws the kick to the body before going upstairs.

Non-title? Did they change it?
Even on the poster you posted Patty, it says middle weight championship.

EDIT: Quoted PATTY

the middle weight title match is......
Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva vs. Travis Lutter

Cro cop is a heavyweight.

dj_soo · #16 (**permalink**) Feb 03, 07

Lutter failed to make weight - it's going to be a non-title bout now.

Man, sucks to be him - this is probably the only chance he'll ever have of being close to championship gold and he blew it before the fight even started.

it's usually one of his most effective gameplans.

Keep attacking the body, as soon as the opponent drops his hands to protect... bam - his head is in the 6th row.

Honoustly, the chance of a lifetime for him and he messes it up. Brutal.

i know that cro cop is a heavyweight but just wasnt aware that Silva Lutter was a non-title fight.
Thanx for clearing that up Soo

dj_soo · #21 (**permalink**) Feb 05, 07

really weird seeing crocop in the cage... rampage seemed to fit better though...

Pennywise · #22 (**permalink**) Feb 05, 07

I had to miss this one.

But, I caught the highlights on tsn later on in the night.

dj_soo · #23 (**permalink**) Feb 05, 07

^ didn't miss much - it was decent but not spectacular. Best fight was on the undercard (Edgar vs Griffin).

Rampage and crocop look dominant but didn't see any great slams or a LHK KO. Great staredown between page and eastman tho...

Silva looked human for the first time in the octagon, but he did show off his ground game...

The rest was anywhere from boring to meh.
