that kick wouldn't have knocked mark hunt out...crocop is very succeptable to KOs.
I am AMAZED that Cro Cop didn't break his ankle. I honestly did not know that an ankle could bend that way. Must be at least strained, though.
As an aside, UFC 70 was the third UFC event I've witnessed, and quite frankly, I've given up trying to predict main event fights. I'm now 0-3 thanks to Couture, Serra and Gonzaga.
Here's hoping Cro Cop is okay, and that he and Arlovski go at it. Arlovski/Werdum was painful to watch. But watching two world-class strikers go at it, with minimal interest in the ground game should be a good (if short) match.
:yes:
I'd also like to see that Cheick Kongo guy take on Cro Cop or Arlovski.
Kongo DESPERATELY needs to go to wrestling camp. Even Cro Cop or Arlovski would take him to the mat after seeing that performance. I mean, it's one thing not to be real good on the ground, but to be as inept as he was...wow.
agreed, but man is he a deadly striker, if he gets some wrestling skills he is going to be an animal!!Kongo DESPERATELY needs to go to wrestling camp.

VERY True, but I'd still like to see a good stand up match between any of the 3.
Very true. Here's hoping the ref who did the Arlovski/Werdum fight would ref it. I *LOVED* when he told those guys, at the start of round 3 "first guy who retreats loses a point", i.e. "stand up and fight, you wussies!" I don't know his name, but he's my new favorite referee.
I just watched it a couple hours ago. I was away most of Saturday and most of today. I didn't know the result until about 7pm tonight or so. All I can say is ...
WOW!!!!!
Cro Cop got destroyed!!!
