Why I wasn’t upset when GG defeated CC...

I don't understand getting emotional about MMA (i.e. angry, happy, sad, etc...) unless one personally knows the athlete.
That said, a BJJ guy spectacularly head kick KOing the "left leg cemetery" was is fucking epic.

And also like 10 years ago

Listen, the 15 year anniversary for that fight is in about 2 months
 
Listen, cro cop losing to Gonzaga should be on everyone's "top 3 fights I'd have God change the outcome if I could" list
It was a huge mistake on the UFC's part having Cro Cop fight Gonzaga. He'd just won the Pride Open weight GP and was a top 5 ranked heavyweight. He should've come in and fought Sylvia for the belt right off the bat.

Listen, Randy was the champ at the time (did the commentary in the cc vs Gonzaga fight too). And I don't disagree. But Cro Cop asked for another fight before fighting couture

Sylvia was still the champ when Cro Cop came in. He had a tune up fight against Eddie Sanchez Feb of 07. Sylvia & Couture didn't fight until March.

Listen, I meant Randy was the people's champion. I should've been more clear

Can’t forget the rematch

How did you feel watching Cro Cop vs Gonzaga rematch then. Loved those elbows that cut Gonzaga to shreds

The rematch went nearly exactly the same as the first fight, if not worse. Gonzaga was up 20-17 and dominating Cro Cop on the ground exactly like the first fight before Cro Cop landed a single punch that changed the fight around in the 3rd.

Let alone the difference in Gonzaga beating Cro Cop when he was #2 in the world and on the best run of his life vs Cro Cop beating Gonzaga when he was #14 in the world and on his worst run. Gonzaga beat Cro Cop in his prime while Cro Cop beat Gonzaga well past his prime.

Pride nostalgists are some of the saddest people on the planet. Pathetic.

The fact that he had nothing for GG means it was the correct call
