This card definately delivered! I came away thinking 3 things:
Fedor - Cro-cop on New years Eve, I can’t wait!
Is Dana White reconsidering that Liddell - Silva may not be a bad idea?
(I actually think Wandy did alright, other than Mark Hunt has anyone ever survived a well connecting high kick from Cro-cop?)
Will Pride/his camp please give Allister Overeen a break. The guy obviously needs time off and fighting through these injuries will ruin both his record and shorten his career.
Bonus thought: If your ever in a fight with a 6’ 6" Russian that has a tattoo of a Grim Reaper holding a baby, don’t goat him into punching you in the head - twice!

Don’t forget the sweetest haircut this side of Solid Snake!
i am always amazed at how styles make fights. silva got destroyed by mirko, yet he (silva) survived against hunt, and hunt had mirko’s number in there last fight. i just watched it again and mirko basically fought going backwards the entire fight hoping to counter punch. unt seemd to be bullying him around the ring.

Yea, Silva tried to do the same thing; unfortunately he doesn’t have nearly the chin of Hunt. I think Silva is the perfect fighter for Crocop - a little too aggressive, and a tendency to get kind of wild. Crocop just had to back up, wait for an opening, and nail him.
