So fight opinion is hiring third graders to write for them?

Outside of the glaring things in this, but its funny that one of the things I first noticed was in the first sentence, this originally said ‘right high kick.’ There is nothing more off-putting than somebody getting a really obvious fact wrong in the first sentence.

Its funny that its fixed, but it was a lot more funny when that was wrong.

Well, I struggled through the horrid writing. His concepts are decent, but but he seems to be one of those recent MMA writers who got obsessed with the sport, reads all he can, watches every video on Dailymotion, and now thinks he understands the sport. Give fans a little more credit than thinking they dont know these fighters outside of the UFC.

And take an English class.

I don’t want to kick the crap out of a dead horse, but I was waiting for comments to open up on this so I could point out that I didn’t finish reading this thing due to the lack of editing. This place isn’t Sherdog, so I’m not used to Mike Sloan style sentence structure. This article might be substantively worth discussing, but I couldn’t get past the first paragraph. Sorry.

Yeah he shouldn’t be fighting low level competition. Arlovski would be risky to Cro Cop’s career though (hence why I’m not too keen on it). If Cro Cop loses 3 in a row, that would be awful. But I see Cro Cop winning. Cro Cop’s trainers have said that he bulked up to 231 pounds (he was 220 vs Kongo, 225 vs Gonzaga) and if he’s focused, he’ll win.

I agree.

Given how much he’s being paid and the hype they’ve given him, either allow him the opportunity to battle back into contention by fighting a guy like Arlovski or build-up the other guy’s name by having a win over Cro Cop.

I really don’t see the good in having him fight a guy like McCully who I don’t think will EVER be a top contender at HW in the UFC.

“I think we can settle on names like Heath Herring and Justin McCully. If Cro Cop can beat one of these men solidly, he’d get the other. I’d think McCully would go first, as Herring is still a step up. Perhaps Antoni Hardonk can be added to the conversation. Think I’m being harsh? Cro Cop was beaten in every way you can possibly be beat in one round before being knocked out. Then he was dominated by a man with little ground game who comes from the same kickboxing background that Cro Cop does. He needs to earn his way back.”

Gosh this guy is about as harsh as the Sherdoggers. When a fighter gets 1 or 2 losses in a row, they get labelled “washed up” right away. So Lesnar, a 1-0 newbie to MMA, is worthy of Frank Mir but Cro Cop has to “earn his way back” up from the bottom in the HW division? I sense some PRIDE bias. Losing to Gonzaga and Kongo doesn’t make you bottom of the barrel. I don’t think Cro Cop should be fighting Arlovski at this point but he should at least get a decently positioned heavyweight in order to get back on track. Cro Cop makes $350k a fight guaranteed and probably gets a PPV bonus for PPV events. To have Cro Cop fight that low in the HW division is ridiculous.

The article is decent but it could use some stricter editing.

Fire this writer. He makes little to no sense and doesn’t have even the most rudimentary grasp of sentence structure.
