Crocop gave up more weight vs Aliakbari than Mo gave up vs Crocop. Welcome to HW this why they are the baddest men on the planet in no other weight class do fighters routinely give up 20-40 lbs and have to win.
Hell Couture was 218 vs Lesnar who cut from 290 to make 265 to weigh in.
I love to watch Mcgregor fight but he complains about Diaz being naturally 10-12lbs heavier.
Crocop fought his whole HW career at 225-232lbs making him the same size as Rumble Johnson amd what did Anthony do? damage himself cutting to 170 to fight smaller men and still to this day fights at 205 where he doesnt have to be hit by guys cutting from 280-290 lbs. He fought and AA but he couldnt KO the HW fighter with the worst chin in the division. At that point he realized his ungodly power at 205 doesnt translate over to HW and has not come back.
Mo gave up 20lbs to Crocop which is admirable but Crocop then gave up 23 lbs to a world class Greco Roman wrestler and KO'd him in the 1st.
Crocop has only faced 3 naturally smaller HW's his entire career: Fedor, Fujita, and Pat Barry. His entire career was spent fighting bigger HWs
Unfortunately morons don't understand that....
