and many know I can't stand Dana White, but what Cro-Cop did was dirty pool. Dana was in good faith contract with Cro-Cop and he stiffed him. One can look at it another way, how much money dose the UFC make and Underpay so many fighters. Oh well.....Dana got screwed for once.

Dana did a over the phone contract with Cro-Cop, but nothing sign. After the fight was over, Cro-Cop bolted back over to Dream in a 3 fight deal.

Ronaldo said on live TV all season he wanted to stay at Man U. He's just left for Real for £80m. Bottom line is this is a business good faith means nothing. If Dana wants to rankle the point then maybe he should address his entire stable and explain to them why he pays Lesnar 500k per fight. Dana does whats best for himself and so did CC.

I've always been a Crocop fan - but Crocop's behavior coupled with his poor performances in the octagon make it look like not only can he not hang with the UFC heavyweights - but that he is afraid to fight them.

CC is done. He can earn nice easy paydays in DREAM against lesser competition but he's only delaying the inevitable. At top flight his career is finished. Mentally and physically he doesnt have it anymore.

Dana White comes over as a bit of a prick, he deserves what he gets but as an MMA fan, Id have liked CC to fight in UFC.

Cro did what he did most of the time. If someone comes at him he puts his arms out to re-establish range. He sometimes does it while moving away. I think he did that but his finger went in the guys eye. He then went for the kill.

The sad thing is the UFC Heavyweight Division is downright awful. It is in as bad of shape if not worse than Boxing's Heavyweight Division.

That's not true in my opinion.

Lesnar, Mir, Couture, Nog(those 2 arent prime anymore but good fighter), Velasquez, Dos Santos, Carwin, Gonzaga(very talented) are good fighter.

Its thin, but better than the HW of boxing I think.

Once Dana learns this then maybe he'll stop with these crappy merrigorounds of old shot stars and young hasbeens.

yea it's not very talented like before that is why i was shock at crocop for leaving after one fight. He could probably gotten a title shot after one more win and i can see him beating mir or lesnar.

Uhm, no.

Boxing is still a much bigger sport world wide and the money, and therefore the talent pool is much better.

Any top 20 HW has probably enough athletic ability to make it big in MMA if they'd crosstrain long enough.

Cro Cop is a dangerous dangerous dangerous dangerous guy, if you don't have any stand up skills you wll get exposed and probablly brutally Ko'd, the loss to Gonzaga was one of those things that can happen to anyone in a sport like MMA, it makes do difference to how i see him as a fighter, if anything i respect him more than i did before.
