What is up with CroCop...is he leaving? Is UFC going to Japan?
Monday
2-11-2008

"Please be patient"

"I promised to share some news with you today and I feel bad by not doing so. There are some reasons for this that I can't speak of at the moment. However, I promise to make the statement as soon as possible. Thank you for supporting me and I hope that little more patience is not too much to ask." - Mirko Crocop

"I'm Off to Japan!"
I'm off to Tokyo!
A big announcement will come straight from Japan tomorrow (February 13).
When the official part is done I'll be able to provide more information about everything,
and believe me, I have many things to say.
What you could easily guess by now is that I won't be retiring.
I'll keep on fighting, it's my life, it's what I do. - Mirko Crocop

Do you think Dana will just cut him? I mean he really hasn't been worth the money that they are paying him. I hope he doesn't leave, it would be a pretty punk move, like he's running away.

IDK, but it seems like Dana will make it hard for him to leave just from a competition aspect, but I guess if he's going to a Japanese org maybe Dana won't feel so threatened.

I would almost bet Dana and co. cut him from the contract as he has been a total bust. He really has no credility imo, as he has been dominated in the UFC. I wish him well in the newer version of K1

Yep in YAMMA fighting on broken glass.

Maybe CC could fight Sergei if he's fighting with the FEG-Yarrenoka group? Time to hit the gear and get the fire back CC

Vika is back, he might get pissed at me for getting his hopes up on this tourny. I'd like to see Sergei kick CC's ass. I like CC, but I'm rolling 100% russian in 08. Suloev is gonna take care of Anderson. Semenov is dropping to 170 to handle GSP. Sergei and Aleks will take care of Fedors light work. I currently hop around the house announcing all the Russian fighters with the Pride lady's voice. "From Ruuuuuusssssssssssia with love...........Serhay............HAAAAAArrreeeeeee tonov."

Fedor's light work....how ironic.

08 = year of Almeida for me. Watching that dude dance around the Octagon pumped me up. Silva better be careful.

I thought his dancing sucked. Maybe Shoji can drop to 185 and give Almeida another run for his money. Or Semenov can handle him again on his way to Anderson. If Thackers not busy doing plyo's onto a 2 foot tire, he could probably give Almeida a nice fight

No. He has one fight left. Dana told him "Fight for less or sit till your contract ends"

They can't enforce their US contract on him in Croatia. So he said eff you

Damn, what a disappointment CC was in the UFC. I never imagined he would look so helpless on the ground getting pounded by GG, or getting beaten on his feet buy a guy that would barely crack the top 50 in K-1. What was it? Juice? Environment?

I have to assume its a lack of steroids. I know its unfair to just assume but who wouldn't juice in MMA if there were no tests. IMO steroids give an advantage in MMA more than any other sport, besides possibly cycling or sprinting.

Notice how Rampage, who has always adamantly been against steroids, has taken off in the UFC while most of the rest of former Pride fighters have been lackluster to say the least.

You could very well be right. I wonder if Rampage will ever get a chance to fight Wandy or Shogun in the UFC. They've got Jardine and Chuck respectively, thats potentially an 0-2 start for both of them. That doesn't exactly put them on their way up to face Rampage, but I'd love to see those re-matches in the UFC. I'm hoping Wandy gets through Jardine. I have a feeling Shogun is in trouble against Chuck.
