Crocop fans - when did you accept CC was done as a top fighter?

[BigMuffler]

I was stubborn, it took Schaub for me to admit it. I rationalized the JDS fight as a close loss to an up and coming stud, and Mir as a fluke KO against one of the best HW's, and let the Al-Turk, Perosh and Barry wins give me hope. Don't know if Schaub is a nice guy IRL and this would be kind of messed up if he is, but I take pleasure in seeing him KTFO by the Big trio (Country, Nog, and Ben). When did you admit CC's days at the top were finished?

 

[Balli]

After Randleman KTFO him.

 

[NoggenFogger]

When he first stepped into the Octagon.

Kongo.

After the Kongo fight.

I think the Schaub fight was the nail in the coffin for most of us.

 

[The Dinosaur]

had my doubts after the overeem and kongo fights. pretty much crystallized after the barry fight.

 

[sonny11]

After the 06 GP. He actually said he would retire if he didn't win. Passion was long gone before he came to the UFC.

 

[MCS]

The Mir KO was the final nail on the coffin. I didn't think he was gonna be champ before that fight though, so as for those title hopes probably the JDS fight since he lost to a fellow striker...again.

If it took you until deep in his second stint in the UFC, you need help.

 

[DOlsen4]

Gonzaga for obvious reasons..

 

[SnowBlynd]

Eddie sanchez I think was his name. Cro cop resembled a rickety old lion whose gummy mouth could hardly chew the helpless lamb it was thrown

 

[Domin8er]

Once he entered the UFC I realized he could not realistically be ranked as a top 10 HW. The competition was simply too deep.

Oh, you said Crocop fans. NVM

 

[Dana_Tarded]

When he went to a "push him away" strategy instead of striking.

I held on way too long with CC, for nostalgia reasons.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

He may be done but I'll always be a fan.

 

[vuco KJV***]

When he lost to Kongo, I knew that was the end of Cro Cop as I knew him. :icon_cry2

 

[aldeniro78]

Gonzaga

 

[odog]

That will never happen.

 

[Mooner]

When Overeem absolutely manhandled him.
