Saw PRIDE on Fox last night and Randleman absolutely layed out this Croatian, Crocap(sp?).

Nailed him in the jaw with a left-handed haymaker.

Funny story about that.
Mirko Filipovic goes by CroCop because he used to be in the antiterrorism unit of the Croatian police. He is actually regarded as the 2nd best fighter in the world, after Fedor Emelianenko. Randleman's knockout was a big shock and delivered CroCop his 2nd lost at the time.
CroCop recently changed organizations from PRIDE to UFC and will debut at UFC 67 on February 3rd. Since he switched organizations PRIDE has been airing this clip on numerous occasions just to show him getting knocked out. Rest assured, he will become the UFC heavyweight champion and is the second best fighter in the world.

Most fighters in lower weight classes would not survive his left high kick. Chuck Liddell and Wanderlia Silva are the only 2 that come to mind who would stand a chance.

Silva might have a chance, as far as Chuck goes, no. Quinton Jackson who isn't even a good striker beat the hell out of him. Rampage has too much for Chuck. Chuck's greatest asset is his takedown defense and making people stand up against him. Mirko loves that.

I would love to see Chuck and Crocop fight. Not sure if Crocop would drop or Chuck bump up in weight but that would be a great fight to watch. Crocop already killed Silva once, not sure if a rematch would be much different.
Understandable. Who else do you like?

I'm a big Tito Ortiz guy, and I also really like Brandon Vera, Leben, and Rich Franklin. Still want "the ax murderer" and Chuck to fight, wish the bullshit of the organizations weren't being so difficult in setting it up.

Ya, Silva-Chuck would be tight. We will probably see Rampage-Chuck smetime this year.

You couldn't have watched the Liddell vs Jackson fight. Not and come away with that opinion. Chuck was out of shape and fighting 10 min rounds. Even people who hate Liddell don't hold that lose against him. When John McCarthy is telling jackson its over and has been knocked out by Liddell, then maybe people will stop talking about that overrated loud mouth. Quinton gets a lot of hype for someone who hasn't won any belt, at any level.

Quinton also fights good fighters, unlike Chuck.

besides getting his ass kicked in by Wanderlia, who actually are you talking about? Your calling Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz bad fighters? Pride has the better heavyweights, but you can't honestly be arguing Pride Light heavyweights as being head and shoulders above UFC's. Now that Pride is basically starting to fold (can't pay their fighters anymore and are having problems with the Japanese government over their Yakuza ties) we'll see which fighters are the best. Till Fedor and Alexander Emilenko get to UFC, I'll have to watch both.

Wanderli(sp) had a fight lined up aganst Liddell earlier this year untill Silva lost and PRIDE and lost his chance at a UFC title fight

the rumor was Silva was going to fight Chuck whether he won or lost that fight. It just was easier for UFC to get away from it when he was beat by Crocop.
