The UFC is f**king with my head. hock: First GSP, now Cro Cop! hock: hock: hock: I don't know what to think.

The Bisping fight was pretty darn entertaining and I loved watching the guy from Liverpool, the lightweight, Etim I think his name was. His fight was great, and his opponent looked like a good fighter too. I don't know why they didn't show the Machida fight because that's one of the fights I was looking forward to. Arlovski sucks. Leave it to him to get booed in Manchester by a crowd that was so hyped it was ready to cheer for anything. Arlovksi just needed to let his hands go and he probably would have got the KO win. I know exactly why he didn't though. He knows he has no heart when he's hit right on the button and he knows he has no chin.

Cro Cop can be deadly, but he did lose 4 fights in Pride and Kevin Randleman had a pretty impressive knock out on him in Pride. I think GSP will bounce back, that loss to Serra was more bad luck than lack of skill, but as you know, anything can happen in the Octagon. The Couture Gonzaga fight will be pretty good I think, I think it will be prtety close.

Yeah, he lost four fights. That doesn't mean anything. One loss was to the best MMA fighter on planet Earth, one was when Randleman caught him, one was a split decision to Mark Hunt (a terrific fighter with power and freakish ability to absorb punishment), and one was to Big Nog (who the UFC just signed and is a tremendous fighter with sick BJJ). Cro Crop hasn't looked too good in his two UFC fights. In Pride, he looked much more fluid and deadly.

Gotta give credit to Gonzaga. He looked possessed. He's strong, has very good BJJ and can punch and obviously can kick. I hope he defeats Couture. I'm sick of Couture.

Couture has been knocked out viciously in the past. I don't know if Cro Cop will come back to dominate or if he'll lose again. I do know that he's been one of the best fighters on the planet for a while now. Just because he got KTFO doesn't mean he's trash. Like I said, Couture has been knocked around by HW fighters and KTFO twice by a light heavyweight. It happens. Cro Cop doesn't have tremendous punch resistance but he usually gets his opponent before they get to him. Maybe he's just getting old, maybe he just isn't comfortable in the cage, maybe he just overestimated Gonzaga. I don't know what it is. Hopefully he comes back strong.

One thing is for sure and that is when Cro Cop gets KO'd he doesn't get KO'd by soft hitters. Gonzaga's kick would have KO'd a lot of fighters and Randleman punches hard, believe that.
