Tell ya what, that crocop bloke kicks ass. Was thinking Liddell would have a hard time against Silva, Cropcop knocked 7 different shites out of him.

There is no competition between Pride and UFC. Pride has by far the better standard of fighters and fights.

No one in any of the MMA organisations comes close to Fedor.

In fairness to the UFC, they both seem to use alot of the same fighters and there are also some class fighters in the UFC that havnt fought in Pride, and vice versa.
I do prefer the Octagon to the boxing ring though. Hate seeing people fall through the ropes, just breaks up the fight.
Also, hard to say which fighter is the best, as they all seem to have their defeats, except that heavyweight bloke in Pride. Would like to see him take on Arlovski or Silva.
Would obviously like to see Crocop and Liddell in action, have to say, cro cops's alround standup might give Chuck some problems he also looks a little stronger.
Would also like to see Franklin V someone decent from Pride. I think Franklin should be able for what they could throw at him, especially in the Octagon.

All being said none of them come close to the mighty Bob Sapp :D

Seriously though Mirko Cro-Cop vs Lidell would be a good fight.

If my memory servers i seem to remeber that Cro-Cop reading that Cro-Cop was a member of the Croatian parliment!

He is an ex Croatian Cop, hence the name Cro Cop. He is also heavily involved in Politics and possibly some other security organisation. Or so i read last night.
Bob Sapp, thats that Big Coulered bloke that challenged Tyson right?. Would loved to have seen tyson taking him on, bet he would have knocked him out too, big he may be, be he certainly cant take a punch.
There is an excellent lineup for Pride in Vegas this month, almost puts th UFC lineups to shame, some interesting lineups to say the least.

If you've not seen it do a search on YouTube for Sapp vs CroCop.

Blink and you'll miss it type of fight.

There is a ton of Pride and UFC stuff on YouTube. If you are looking for highlights and such check it out.

I'm pretty sure that Fedor and CroCop have fought in UFC. Good fight from what i can recall.

CroCop also fought Fedor's younger, more tattooed, brother. Alexander?

Pride appear to be making a huge effort to increase their populatiry in America. I think the upcomming Vegas event if their first in America.

Have watched quite a bit of the utube stuff, The quality is a bit dissapointing though. Cant beat watching it on Tele, hate the way they have the main UFC figths on till 2am on sunday nights.
Would be cool if they would show Pride fights too. am starting to feel like i'm missing out.

Neither Cro-Cop or Fedor have fought in the UFC. Cro-Cop made the move to Pride from K1. Fedor has never fought in the USA before.
Cro-Cop and Fedor fought against each other a while ago, Fedor won easily but they'll probably go again in the next few months as Cro-Cop won the open weight grand prix.
