Was that the greatest stare down of the modern era?

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Pereira stoicism is frightenning

Plus he doesn't speak English which makes him scarier to me.

 

[Doughie99]

I thought the spontaneous arm-on-the-shoulder thing between Aspinall and Pavlovich was cool and genuinely a decent respectful gesture.

It's not for everyone, and often there's some aggro before these fights but these two were respectful and honorable to the n'th degree and that's actually quite refreshing.

Junior dos Santos Looks soo Badass here.

 

[herpd807]

in before Wanderlie/Crocop.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Cro cop vs Wanderlei 1st fight, anyone?

That was 20 years ago.... Dont think OP is counting it as modern or recent.

Mirko Wand is 1st obviously but this might be the best since.

 

[AmonTobin]

Pereira always has a good staredown. He's the modern day Chuck Liddell.

This has to be the best stare down. These 2 men had no prior beef and no reason to hate each other... it was pure business. This is as organic as it gets.

Cro cop vs Wanderlei 1st fight, anyone?

[herpd807]

Wanderlol

That ref had no idea...

 

[glenn777]

Normally I'm not a fan of the in-fight bro hug but this was justified considering how they went balls to the wall from the opening bell.

 

[ChickenBrother]

 

[BLIND]

that was THE SHIIIIIIT

 

[Barteh]

If Cain vs. JDS counts as "modern era" that's my pick.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

It is, was, and always will be Cro Cop vs Vanderlei

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

nah, it was just stoic. cain / jds had a better one, and of course, the grand master of them all, cro cop wand 1.

 

[MuffinsAppletree]

Thats still the best,but this was one was fuckin great.

Gegard the greatest imo
