I picked The Demolition Man based on him being more comfortable and stronger at heavyweight and not gassing, his ability to take the smaller Crocop down and use submissions, and possibly knees in the clinch on the way to the floor…and its a shame that the fight didn’t continue, because that’s what was happening.
This was really on its way to becoming a great fight before the low blow caused Crocop to be unable to continue. The low blow, which was the second, was unintentionally landed when both fighters threw knees at about the same time.
As much as I was looking forward to this fight, I don’t think either of these guys have much of a chance against Fedor.
Now a rematch doesn’t even seem as appealing, as the outcome seems pretty clear. I doubt Crocop will even take the rematch.
