Does CC have nightmares about losing to Schaub?

Nah. The Gonzaga ko probably haunts his dreams tho

Fedor lost to Matt Mitrione. Jones lost to Matt Hamill.

At least Schaub isn't a steroid cheat
 
Can we stop with this myth that Brendan Schaub is a scrub? I get it, he’s a tool and you don’t like him, but saying he was garbage as an MMA fighter is factually incorrect.

I’m not a fan of his podcast or his comedy, but the hate has reached the point of absurdity. It’s just getting old.

It’s like saying a backup quarterback sucks at football or that a professional baseball player who never made it to the majors is a terrible baseball player. It’s the epitome of ignorance.

Lol no. Hes fought 49 times in MMA alone. I dont think he loses sleep over the result of any fight.
 
I doubt Cro Cop spends much time thinking about Brendan Schaub

Jones didn't lose to Hamill...anyone with half a brain knows that.

Was one of the good things about HW back in the 00's, the division was not built on hyping up wins against faded legends.

Kerr dropped off but then he dropped out entirely, Bas retired when he's knees went, Frye didn't fight many big names, Ken moved to the UFC and LHW and Erikson didn't stick around either when he lost to Herring.

Really the only older names still around were Coleman and Igor, the former actually stayed in good form until latter in the decade and the latter wasn't that old in the mid 00's.

It wasn't a division of fake records full of "names" years past their best, reps were built on the best fighting the best in their primes.

Only a person who could potentially have nightmares about Brendan Schaub would think that someone like Mirko Crocop has nightmares about Brendan Schaub.
 
Was funny how Cro Cop got exposed in the UFC and all of a sudden "he wasnt in his prime" anymore lol the guy beat Barnett and won the Pride Final Conflict Absolute in 2006, he fought Gonzaga in the UFC just 7 months after that and got brutally KO'd, he then fought Kongo which was only 1 year after the Barnett fight and also lost lol so he left the UFC already and went to fight bums again. Eventually came back to the UFC and had 0 noteable wins, while getting destroyed by Mir, Nelson and Schaub lol fair to say Cro Cop was massively overrated
 
Funny thing is, Schaub was losing to washed up, injured crocop before he got the lucky KO.

Shhhhh don’t try to argue with facts.

Btw Fedor was past his prime at 33 :rolleyes:
 
There’s always some fights where you can throw your hands up and say

‘Meh shit happens in mma’
And this is one that fits the bill
 
He probably has nightmares about the UFC generally. The competition crushed him.

He never won a major world title in MMA yet is still considered #2 HW GOAT by some.

Yes he won major world title Pride 2006 Grand Prix. In the year of 2006 Grand Prix was supposed to determine who is the best since there was no official HW divisional title defence for 16 months in that time, and Fedor was also in the tournament, entering equally with all others, but pulled off later due to injury. Grand Prix = divisional title, equal value. Diferent system than UFC or boxing, influenced by K-1 and different tradition.

Next to huge mileage main Cro Cop's problem was dissapearance of ring MMA from the scene due to the higher force and unforseen circumstances.

His opponents got a new way to avoid his standup by distance, keeping away and circling away from his left leg in big round space of octagon with no corners where Cro Cop was unable to corner them and cutt off their movement. Cage, wire fence and american rules allowed them to push him on the fence for 10 minutes to tire him and lay their 30 lbs weight advantage.

Cro Cop was handicapped by 50% from the start in the cage.

In the ring even washed out Cro Cop would most likely still win most of those fights vs Schaub, Mir, Kongo etc.
