About Crocop... huge fan and couldn't wait for him to get the UFC belt.
But in insight, after a long and successful career in K1 followed by another long PRIDE run (he also apparently had a bunch of boxing matches, but I only saw one), it was asking a bit too much to run through the UFC as well...
Oh well, at least nobody can say "Told you so!!!" since we ALL believed that he would destroy the HW division.
Also, seems like no one talks about Glover anymore?
He used to hard legions of "Die Hard Fans" who promptly removed him from their sig after the Jones fight...
Funny how originally, Glover was know only for being the only black mark ("most likely a fluke!") on another huge hype train: Sokoudjou's.
After smashing the 2 best LHWs from BTT under 2 mins, it was hard not to be impressed.
Hard to think that he is now 16-12 (I think?) against lesser competition...
Most newbies don't even know who they are, but Zelg "Benkei" Galesic and Marius "Whitemare" Zaromskis both had insane amount of hype on Sherdog, both touted as "Lil'Crocop" for a while.
Still a fan of both guys, very exciting strikers.
Interesting that Michael "Venom" Page, the most hyped fighter in the Contenders, comes from the same camp as Benkei.
Both strikers with crazy moves.
But Page's ground game has not been tested yet...
