CC to UFC is the best thing For MMA fans..... He'll get Fedor eventually

Why are so many complaining about CC's unfinished business in Pride? The only fight any of us wanted to see was him against Fedor.

Let's face it, that fight wasn't happening anytime soon, so CC, rather then fight the same people, in the same org, went where he will make tons of money, capture a belt, and be the global superstar he deserve to be. If all goes well, CC will only need to snap his fingers to get Fedor back in the ring, and countless minions will work tirelessly to make it happen.

CC to UFC = best chance of getting Fedor on a grand stage

UFC Vs Pride

CC vs Fedor

HW Champ Vs HW Champ

If all goes well this would be the biggest fight/combat draw of all time, if they promote properly that is, and I'm sure Dana is seeing mega $$$$$$$$ in this possibility.

Mirko has implied in a couple interviews that that was part of the idea. It's fairly clear that he has Pride's blessing in his UFC endeavors.

(There is no unfinished business in Pride. he fought for the title a year and a half ago and lost. he then won a great GP victory. The End.)

The only fight any of us wanted to see was him against Fedor.

(already happend, stop pretending that it didn't. it wasn't even that long ago)

(next to taking the fight on NYE or next ppv.... which he didn't.)

UFC Vs Pride

(as if.... how did Liddell-Silva work out for ya?)

CC vs Fedor

HW Champ Vs HW Champ


(this is where you're wrong. Even if Crocop won ALL the UFC titles in EVERY weight class, he would STILL be a challenger to fedor, NOT another champion. UFC HW title is nothing to a Pride HW champion.)

If all goes well this would be the biggest fight/combat draw of all time, if they promote properly that is, and I'm sure Dana is seeing mega $$$$$$$$ in this possibility.
crocop has to just snap his fingers to get fedor in the ring? What planet are you from? He may never get another shot if fedor doesn't feel like giving it to him. (which he doesn't. he commented: "Mirko, for me, is a passed stage")

Cro Cop had a better chance of making this fight happen if he would be in Pride rather than the UFC. He had his shot at Fedor for NYE and he declined to fight due to the injury. Now that he is the UFC it makes things more complicated since they are in different organizations. Although, if it does it adds more hype to the fight.

Mirko has Fedor left to beat, Sergei, and a rematch with Nog in Pride. Then what?

He's beat Barnett twice, Aleksander in 3 mins, Silva, Igor, Herring, Waterman, Coleman, Randleman...

Seeing a fight with Werdum is unlikely to happen, I don't see many prospects for Mirko in Pride. Fujita? He already beat most of the quality fighters in the division.

In the UFC he can fight Monson, Arlovski, Sylvia, potentially Chuck... and who knows who else. It might be good for a temporary switch.

I kind of agree with you here on this one, hes pretty much fought most of the heavy weights that are known.

Crocop will win the HW UFC title, defend 3-4 times, leave UFC for PRIDE and beat FEDOR...retire as the greatest.

I can see that happening

I would have also liked to see him avenge losses to nog and hunt, both of whom I think he'd beat a second time around. That won't happen while he's in the ufc.

If Fedor said that then he's scared shitless of Mirko. We all know that great fighters deserve rematches, especially CroCop.

Fedor better stop hoping that he's done with CroCop because he's got a head kick coming his way.
