Why did Cro Cop become nice??

I miss this...

You can just see the difference in his eyes...

Here he looks like an absolute stone cold killer ready to take out anything and anyone....

now adays he just doesn't have that killer look in his eyes...

he looks timid, almost afraid sometimes...

sad :(

neither guy blinks once. PRIDE! 

hahaha gotta love James Thompson. That guy is intense!

Man I wish Frye had knocked him out with that first punch. He almost had him

He's in the twilight of his career. I remember when Tyson used to walk to the ring as a young fighter. He looked like he was going to murder someone.He used to punch holes in the dressing room walls before coming out. At the end of his career, the fire left too. There's something to be said for when you lose your passion for something.

Yeah , he def lost the fire a while ago. As soon as he came to fight in the states actually. It really sucks getting older..

Sometimes when you get older your mentality changes for various reasons. Especially for someone who has been in some sort of combat orientation since he was 18 years old. I would imagine he is just burnt out on hurting people. Really other than Overeem do you know of any MMA fighter who has inflicted the kind of damage on their opponents than Cro Cop?

I always made a connection between the Cro Cop/Gonzaga fight and the episode of Family Guy where Peter and the guys go to jail, and the prisoner goes to kill them but is to late and gives himself a little stab in the stomach and says "That's what I've been doing to people? I deserve to be in here"

Good analogy IMO.

noooo drederick tatum

the simpsons version of Mike Tyson

 


"I feel like somebody stole something from me. I am disappointed by the result, but congratulations to Schaub and thanks to my fans for their support.


"It's clear that in this sport without hunger, desire, and ambition to win there is no success, and its also clear that there is no more left of those in me.


"He surprised me with that strike, everything was same like against Frank Mir. It seemed to me like I was better. What am I saying? If I was better, I would have won!"
