PRIDE FC - Silva KTFO by Crocop!
 

Oe of the best fights ever! PRIDE FC Open Weight Grand Prix!

Before anyone says anything about the weight difference, Wanderlai Silva weighed in at 225lbs, and Mirko Crocop came in at 220lbs!

Crocop bashed Wandy's face and head in!

Unbelieavble fight!

what league is this? WWF, UFC, what?

damn i wanna see that

crocop is a bad mother fucker... his highlight vid from sherdog is one of the best i've seen

PRIDE Fighting Championship (PRIDE FC)

Japan, it is the big leagues of MMA.

Mirko Crocop is bad mothafucka ...

Crocop is for sure. Only a badass muthafucka comes out to Duran Duran's Wild boys! LOL

This is Wanderlai Silva we are talking about though, last time he got knocked the fuck out was to my memory, by Vitor Belfort in an early UFC.

I called Cro Cop to win the OWGP from the very begining.

Puts strikers in another light, eh? :)

that guy has one scary kick...they know it's coming, but still can't stop from getting knocked out by it..

Crocop is one bad motherfucker! He reminds me of Ivan Drago from Rocky 4!

DH

Dolph's not just an actor, but real life badass too.

Another victim of crocop's left leg. Brutal. Mirko is the man.

fuckkkkkk didn't saw this fight

Strikers are always dangerous, his grappling and submission defense totally negated BJJ Black Belt Sliva's ground game!

I'm so fucking mad I missed the first 3 minutes.

Was not much of a fight! Crocop owned Silva! he completely dismantled him!:pimp

the fight is here

Yeah, was a nice KO. Silva's head was spilt open and bleeding before he even hit the ground.

Looked like Crocop was alot more aggressive in his 2 fights then normal. Usually he's more of a counter puncher and backing away. This time is was moving forward and to side more.

I wonder if Silva will be too hurt to fight Chuck Lidell in the UFC in November.

Damn.. He got knocked the fuck out!! Nice fight

That fight has been cancelled not too long ago.

On another note, Noguiera was robbed. It was a good fight, Josh's game has gotten better, but that was Nog all the way.

daaamn, that got to hurt.

I agree! and it would have been, it was that knock down in the first round that lost him the fight!:2 cents:

DL'ing the fight now at dialup speeds :(

Damn!! Nice high kick!!

The Nogiera / Barnett fight was really good IMO. I love a good ground battle. That fight could've gone either way. I think Cro Cop is gonna take it all!

For those that have no idea about Pride FC. Put it this way, as far as the heavyweights go, you could take any of the top 3 (Fedor, Cro Cop, Nogiera etc.) and Tim Silvia (UFC Champ) would just have to hand his belt over. No questions asked. No fight nessecary. But it would be fun to see anyway. I'd love to see any UFC heavyweight try to stop a Cro Cop high kick!:helpme

CroCop is one serious striker and damn silva took some hard hits

They let Wandy rest and he still got smashed!

Everyone said the exact same thing about Tim's chances against Arlovsky. I'm no Tim Sylvia fan at all, but fights are not as clear-cut as you try to make it sound. Anything can happen in any fight at any time, there is never a guaranteed victory. Especially not in mma.

This is yesterdays news?!?! I posted about it in the previous thread about PRIDE. Helluva fight, surelly got surprised by CroCop's performance.

when is Fedor coming back????

That was a great fight, thanks for posting that link

A couple of thoughts on the american PPV:

1. Trigg is terrible as an announcer. Period. He isn't getting any better. Nobody cares about what he would do in that situation because nine times out of ten the fighters in the ring are much better than he ever was. All he talks about is himself.

2. I'm surprised that one of judges gave the fight to Nog. He clearly lost that fight by Pride scoring rules, which place a heavy emphasis on effort to finish the fight. Watching him scream in pain from the kneebar was surreal, much like watching Silva get KTFO.

3. Watching Silva get dominated like that was bizarre. He's usually on the other side of the ass-kicking. Regardless of Silva coming in at a heavier weight, he looked like the smaller, weaker fighter. And, of course, he looked blown-up and sluggish. What a massacre.

4. The force was strong with the thumbchuck on this card. This is becoming more of a problem over time. Fighters are subconciously realizing that a failed punch can turn into a devestating open-handed poke in a split-second and letting the fingers go (well, at least that's my theory).

Has anyone else heard about Pride losing Japanese TV contract? I heard they may be in trouble and it may have to do with paying there fighters so well? That was the rumor why Silvia was not going to fight Chuck Lidell now, because UFC didn't want to help them while they may be having problems. Don't know just what I heard. Was wondering if anyone knew anything?
