[mjfan23]

Guy was absolutely violent. A sniper type not a berserker like Wandy etc

 

[fightfan70]

one of the best to ever do it.

[ChimRichalds]

God damn. Crazy to see such a stoic guy turn so savage in the blink of an eye.

 

[scottjoebob]

Igor and Wand dropped like they got shot .

 

[Adebisi]

Is this the guy that got his head taken off by Brandon Schaub?

 

[Reign009]

A lot of fighters came from pro wrestling in Japan. Just like the pro wrestling in USA, all the competitive amateur wrestlers transition into pro wrestling since it's one of the only other options for them to use their wrestling skills to make money. In the Japan scene a lot of them were catch submission wrestlers like Sakuraba, who also came from pro wrestling.

Also Luta Livre from Brazil has history in pro wrestling as well.

 

[Mangar]

Prime Crocop was a murderer.

Alberto Del Rio. Lol. That was his MMA background that justified him fighting Tito.

 

[Tweak896]

Cro cop was who got me into mma, and got me on these forums. Check my join date.

 

[PrepareForGlory]

The headkick Vs Vovchanchyn is the most devastating high kick in MMA History.

You have to listen to it, it sounded exactly like the sound of a major league baseball player hitting a huge home run. CRACK.

Also it's the only time that tough bastard Igor has been KO'd in 66 fights as an undersized striking heavyweight.

 

[Histalian]

B-b-b-beast of an opponent!

Axe Jay.

In or out of prime, no excuses getting KOd by Schaub.

 

[TR1]

True, tapping to strikes to Matt Serra, or being tapped by cans in Japan is much better.

 

[Tapioca Cold]

Used to be my fav. Then irony of Gonzaga. Downhill from there. Juice.

 

[deadshot138]

B-b-b-beast of an opponent!

Axe Jay.

Schaub was an A level athlete and you can tell he drilled countering the left kick with the straight right. He threw it the instant Mirko raised his leg. Guy did his homework.
