In related news, Tim Sylvia's nuts just dropped off his body and ran screaming out the door.

"Filipovic, the No. 2 heavyweight in the world behind PRIDE champion Fedor Emelianenko (http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=1500) (Pictures (http://www.sherdog.com/news/picture_gallery.asp?f_id=1500@@Fedor Emelianenko)), would make an immediate impact on a division that has long been considered among the weakest in the UFC. Terms are not known, but it's expected Fillipovic, 32, could sign one of the most expensive multi-fight deals in UFC history."
Thank God. The UFC's heavyweight division is one of the worst divisions in any org and it's about time shit turned around. Mirko's gonna kill everyone :smile:

translation = cro cop is taking recognition over money. he can't be making a fifth in the UFC of what he made in PRIDE, but he has no competition in the UFC.
and he knows fedor has him beat every time if they fought 100 times.
although i honestly believe arlovski could beat him.
fuck that anyway, i'm way more excited to see GSP win the belt in a few months. hughes is done for.

You're a bit late on that one. GSP won the welterweight title last month.

You think Arlovski can beat Cro-cop? Stop eating paint chips man, you're smarter than that.
Here's the Hughes GSP fight. It's caca quality though.

thanks man i didn't think to check youtube, i thought anything like this was copyrighted or some shit.
i'm not saying arlovski WILL beat crocop, i'm saying he's the only person who has a chance. i would pick crocop in that fight, but i wouldn't be as surprised as everyone else if it turned out to be an upset. we all know about crocop's takedown defense and sprawl BUT i've seen nothing of his skill on the ground, and IF arlovski could take him down, he could fairly easily submit him. even though we know it's very good and he gets credit for it, arlovski is still underrated on the ground.
plus he might be too quick and nimble for crocop's high kick and that's half the battle right there.

GSP is the man, i fucking called this like 2 years ago, when everyone was BJ penn and matt hughes nuthuggers, that he had more skill and was a better fighter than either of them.
he got ripped off the first fight, whatever douchebag ref called the fight when he tapped out AFTER the bell rang to end the round. probably dean since he fucks up the most.
as far as big name guys, he more than anyone else, except maybe randy couture, fights purely for the sport, he truly deserved the belt and i hope he keeps it for a long time.
hopefully eventually he goes to PRIDE where he'll beat wandy too, without a doubt.

Cro cop wouldn't need his big kick, he'd just bash him with his hands. Arlovski has a suspect chin, you could see that when he fought Sylvia. He was afraid of Sylvias power. Crocop has more power and is much more accurate and consistant. Cro cop would fuck him up. Cro cop has better ground then Arlovski anyways. He did better on the ground against Fedor than he did on his feet. Arlovski wouldn't even be able to take him down let alone pass his gaurd. Cro cop is too strong. Arlovski is still just a small boy when you compare him to cro cop. Arlovski isn't even a champion.

Speak it brother! Cro cop is going to hurt people, there isn't anybody in the UFC that can beat him. Should be fun.
He's only signed a contract for a few fights, right? Any idea if that will be extended or what?

Did you just say sylvia and power in the same sentence? You must be joking. Guy has the power of a diseased horse.
