From what little we got to see from Cro Cop he looked absolutely awful…Cro Cop has always been able to bury his poor ground game by keeping his opponent at a distance but that’s no longer the case. Everyone just walks into him now and does as they please time and time again. Sad day.
But hey…at least I finally got to see him live and I will run out of gas by 1……I shouldn't have stayed up so late.
DREAM overall looked great....awesome fights.

Damn I was late to recognize it was now :
Now I have some old Pride GP fights (mark Hunt won)
here's a gif of the end of the Jacare - Mousasi fight...

That’s what you call being too y…he didn't think he was in any danger.
whelp...you just saved me time since thats the only fight I didn't see.
At least we didn't have to see him crawling around on the mat like a dumbass twice.
There wasn't much before that...it was fairly quick. But I left it for you to click just in case you wanted to wait ;-)
Man o man do the Japanese love it when he does that.
Speaking of them...I hate it when Americans boo but I will take booing along with the cheering because its downright boring hearing dead silence for 95% of the show. The Japanese are very respectful...but wow...
Preciate it.
CC needs to retire, now.
Jacare is a y bas . and the KO was good for him...(i called it)
Everything else was pretty predictable. Bass and Rice are starting to get on my nerves. I liked the Strikeforce guys better.
First thing I noticed on CC was the shorts. It really is over for him....he has had so many awesome fights but its time to call it. No shame in that...just time to hang it up.
And for the flowers...they have done that before in pride. Really surprised bas didn't recall that but then again he was heavily drinking back then.
At the very least the Croatian man-god needs to take a year off.

I used to not like Bas at all but I really like him.
I thik Bas is perfect for what he is doing. Obscure small time shows and programs catering to die hards. I think he would be a disaster on bigger shows.
Overeem blowtorches Cro Cop on insidemma...basically called him a coward and faking hus injury because he was getting his ass kicked.
Rematch! I doubt Cro would do it. At this point I kind of just want him to retire.
still watching...he gets interviewed again and pours more gas on Cro Cop's career....damn..."He was falling apart"
"If Cro Cop's a man he will do rematch" on NYE
Bit of an ironic challenge, considering that if Crocop is no longer a man it is the result of his match with Overeem
They carried the "flower presentations" from Pride to Dream? Brings back memories of watching Bas giving yellow bouquets to CroCop and Fedor... and Overeem getting beaten by Marco Rua, in the undercard, when he was still in MiddleWeight.
