Cro Cop would annihilate Jon Jones if they fought in Pride

[Cooliox]

You mean allow Jones juice to the gills and not have to cut weight? He would literally kill CroCop in the ring

nice try little boy.. your idiocy is generational

I'm proud of you for that.

And you know what else? All that other stuff? It's not your fault. Sport, it's not your fault.

You noob clowns first have to understand difference between ring and the cage, and Pride rules and unified rules.

In ring Jones's reach and movement advantage is significantly lesser than in octagon. Also without elbows, there is a good chance that Fedor or Cro Cop would wreck him in the ring where they could close the distance much more effectively and close him on ropes or trap him in corners.

Also for CC comparision that some of you use, CC is a ring fighter. He is handicaped in cage due to bigger space where it is much easier to avoid his strikes, due to fence wall n stall and unified rules that favour wrestling, clinching and elbows. And it is also lot easier to take man down in cage than in ring.

Prime Cro Cop is in cage only 50% fighter that he is in the ring. All his movement, ring cutting and strike timing habbits that he picked up in years of boxing and K-1 are also valid in the ring, because it is the same environment.

Meh, blah blah blah. You're not taking into account that the goat Jon Goat Jones would train for the ring. Any advantages you think crocop has would disappear. The goat Jon Goat Jones is way too smart to let something as trivial as the ring beat him.

Fan of both. Gotta think it would be a good fight. If the weights were close I still think Bones takes it. I'm starting to think he's underrated lol.

People think "oh without the elbows Jon would lose". The dude is ultra-talented at every facet of MMA. He'd figure out a way to win on Pride rules too.

And it's not like the man they are talking about never lost a fight in the ring. He lost several of them. This is pretty damn funny. Jones has a phenomenal team around him. Greg Jackson would simply come up with a training camp that has him fighting in a ring with training partners that mimic the style he needs to beat..

Jon would slice out Cropock's i's

Yes the ones who go on about the elbows being banned are the dumbest in the thread, because Jones has the most complete striking in MMA history. Take away his elbows he's still got a ton of leg, and high kick variations either front, regular or spinning. Combined with his punches or faked with a TD-fake. He also has knees in the clinch, from mid range or flying knees out of nowhere. This doesn't even include everything else he has shown striking in the clinch.

Cro Cop would be completely bewildered and show his mental weakness again. He doesn't have the heart to overcome that kind of adversity.

 

[JPM1223]

You may be right! And I want you to be.

But chances are that Bones annihilates him however he chooses.

If it's any consolation Cro Cop Is not a nice guy either, it's almost a certainty he committed war crimes (allegedly[but definitely]).

What a fuckin joke. Bones has never tested himself out side of guys his own size or smaller, and hell, when a man that was bigger fought his ass, at least taller and probably walks around at a higher weight, Gust, he was beat the fuck up bad, went to the hospital
CRO cop would KILL that pencil legged pile of.....

A lot of that never happened though.

 

[kingjim]

Prime Cro Cop destroys Jones in any organization.

Lol hilarious .... hahahaha prime hahahaha

 

[Anonymous Hate]

None of these hypotheticals matter.
Who knows what would have happened if anyone fought in pride? Pride was awesome and it's missed big time.

I'd like to see Jon fight guys 6'2 and taller. Cormier looked like his little cousin when they fought.

 

[Streeter]

Lol. Im starting to think cro cop is the most overated fighter on this site

He might be. He was barely a gate keeper in the ufc and re ally only had a 3 year stretch of being elite. He was a,solid fighter in his prime but no where close to the cloud he is on on Sherdog

Yeah. pretty much

Lol hilarious .... hahahaha prime hahahaha

2011 account and you still don´t know about fighters prime???

lame.

Just google "Anderson Silva record" and you will understand.. Anderson Silva is a brazilian MMA fighter. You welcome.

Back on topic.. Cro Cop win via whatever he want. Jones duck Heavyweights for a reason.

 

[tenniswhiz]

That's because Cro Cop would corner him in a ring and then punish him.

In a cage, Cro Cop wouldn't be able to corner anyone, and would eventually come forward stupidly at the wrong moment in frustration, leaving himself open to getting KO'd even by guys like Mir or Gonzaga.

No version of cro cop beats Jon Jones - and I loved pride ...
This same prime cro cop who lost to randleman , big nog, mark hunt (who wasnt anywhere near the fighter he is now), and came into the ufc on a tear only to lose togonzaga- gtfo with your sh@t.

 

[GOATweight]

Yet Randlemann knocked him out.

Randleman was considered a serious talent back then (despite his record). Rampage called him the biggest talent that went to waste and said that Randleman hit him the hardest of all his opponents. Jones is definitely a better fighter than Randleman, but he is neither as explosive or hard hitting as Randleman to knock out Mirko in that fashion.

Also, watch the rematch and see what happens 19/20 times. That fight was an anomaly for Pride CroCop.

On a funny side note, there is a video of after the first CroCop fight, Randleman, roided to the gills, is walking around the ring like he is a silverback gorilla and Chuck Liddell literally winces in fear and steps out of his way.

Who? Cormier?! lol
Get real; man was washed up at LHW looking like a sponge that's been in the microwave for 2 minutes

IF and when jones moves up and fights big ass HWS like hunt, Overreem, Verdum stipe, etc he'll never be in the Convo with Fedor

Fedor Beat Coleman, Radleman, CRO cop, Nogeira, Sylvia and Arlovski all in there primes all bigger than him

Get your head out of Dana whites ass about Bones Jones LOL
