Without a doubt, one of the best fights of the past 18 months really...

Cro Cop is getting much more than that since his contract is for 3-4 million over 6 fights.

If he lasts ... you can bet that's part of the deal ... that he lasts. He gets beat he is tossed back down with the soddamites. If he got hit in the noggin by that can Sanchez then Chucky will find his chin too ... Chucky has been known to knock a fella out that way. So have guys like Babaloo and a few of the others waiting in the UFC line-up looking out for a chance to earn their way back up the food chain.

OMG dude, you think chuck is on cro cop's level?

Cro Cop's technical strikes would ruin chucks looping punch's.

**ponyboy** · 02-05-2007, 07:46 PM

When the salaries are put out there like that it's pretty obvious that Rampage and Cro Cop's fights were intentionally weighted WAY towards them. Gives the fights far less credibility IMO. Put them against real opponents and they might deserve money like that.

And there is no way they are paying Cro Cop 3-4 million for 6 fights. Maybe with endorsements but they can't justify paying him $500-750,000 per fight and only paying their champions $250,000 per fight. It would be terrible for company morale and piss a lot of people off.

Chuck KO'd Randalman who KO'd Cro-Cop.

Just a thought.

OMG dude you took what I said and created an alternate universe where I think Chucky is on the same level as Cro Cop. No I don't at all. They're not in the same weight class. But he is close to it by the obvious fact that he still holds his belt after so many have tried to take it from him. This is the list of woulda-couldas. Chuck is most likely gonna get beat by Rampage, but he outta ALL the other guys on the OLD UFC line-up ... has the best chance.

Now will Big-Tim-The-Dork beat him? If he connects then Cro Cop is in for a nap. Big Tim is great for Cro Cop though because of the open area that is his liver. A few good shots to da liver and down he goes. I predict that Cro Cop will break Tim's liver.

I don't think he uses logical thought. Not to take anything away from Crop Cop, but Randleman actually landed a lazy looping left hook that put Mirko on his back very quick. So so much for BigDyl's Chuck's "looping punches aren't shit against Cro Cop" theory.

That was a fluke. A lucky KO.

Rampage beat Chuck. Do you think page could beat cro cop? Hell no.

But I digress, because you were the one who started using MMATH.

**BigDyl** · 02-05-2007, 08:21 PM

Chuck walks around at 230. He cut's 25 lb's to 205 because he is afraid to fight at his natural weight: heavy weight.

Cro Cop does not cut weight, so technically lidell even outweighs him.

Who do you talk to that gives you Chuck's walking around weight is? Cro Cop is always lean ... Rampage was Shreded at 205. Chuck never is ... even has a little gut sometimes.

I think both Chuck and Rampage have better than a punchers chance vs. Cro-Cop. While his strikes are second to none, his chin is probably slightly above average at best and either of them could put him to sleep.

And if Rampage looks like he did the other night when he fights Chuck, he won't win either.

My buddy and I were saying the same thing. I don't know if it was first time jitters in the octagon or something, but Rampage didn't look like himself. I'm anxious to see what his next challenge is. I hope the UFC doesn't rush him into a title bout. I'd like to see what he can do against some of the other top Light heavies first.

No doubt ... Rampage was off of his game in that one. He is in Chuck's house he better get his jitters fixed and get hgis shit straight.

Chuck was a good 20lbs heavier when he was doing the Ultimate Fighter stuff, you could tell it in his face and chest until about a month out of the Couture fight. Don't know if he always does that, though.

**BigDyl** · 02-06-2007, 05:57 AM

I love how when a fighter doesn't KO their opponent within the first 30 seconds in Round 1, it means they are going downhill.

Tito practically took Chucks back and IMO was close to a sub.

A lot of fighters don't fight at their natural BW. I don't think it is because they are afraid.

**BigDyl** · 02-06-2007, 06:26 AM

Actually I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I'll just let Cro Cop do the talking.

He saw his back for 10 seconds, didn't get hooks in, didn't even attempt a sub. But yeah, he was close....

All you need is a single hook, but for some reason he didn't get it.

Wow. Rivera got fucked up pretty badly for a 14 second fight.

Chuck weighs close to 240lbs when he isn't fighting. He cuts alot of weight
