I only saw the fight once, and as I recall it wasn't THAT lopsided. In fact Crocop even had Fedor stunned with a straight left.
Did Fedor really own Mirko that bad?
why are you asking yourself questions here?
:P

ps - easy ponits decision to Fedor.
I think I was drinking that night ;)
Pretty convincing win, IMO.
I could have sworn CroCop had Fedor in trouble at one point.
Somehow a couple of liver kicks and one good punch made Crocop fans forget the rest of the fight all Fedor either pressing the standup or pummeling Crocop on the ground.
It was pretty close until the last round, when CroCop was completely gassed. In fact, they seemed very even until CroCop started to huff and puff.
watching it, I never got the sense crocop could win that fight... was like watching a somewhat even race but knowing one guy was sprinting and the other guy jogging...
Cro Cop rocked Fedor once with a left, but thats about all he did.
Fedor actually won most of the standup exchanges.
I dont think it was even close.
Fedor didn't put a beating on him, but he did win a pretty one-sided fight.
he clearly won but there was no finish so i cant call it owned
At a certain point it was total role-reversal for Cro-Cop. Fedor turned him into the guy either backing up to stay out of punching range or trying desperately to clinch and being shrugged off.
it was strange to see that.
also - weird to see triangles and superman sweep attempts by CroCop! =p
Fedor beat him other than a flurry that lasted maybe 4 seconds and a body kick or two that did nothing to the machine.Fedor threw him around and actually got the better of the stand up exchanges.
Fedor controlled the fight completely. He had CroCop backing up constantly and on the defensive. Mirko got a few shots in, but never was able to take control. And that was with Fedor unable to throw his right hand like he used to do.
cro turned his back!!!!
fedor beat him well enough.
Crocop landed the high kick and Fedor shrugged it off.
YES,
HE OWNED MIRKO THAT BAD
Except for that one flurry from Crocop, Fedor pretty much dominated all the fight.
Who is next for Fedor in Pride? They are about as deep as UFC @ heavyweight. There really isn't anyone worthy to challenge
