I don't know if this has been posted here,but thought its relevent.I dont know what shocked me most,the mask in the fight or that Del rio is legit.Im sorry he got K.Oed.

BTW If this is against any rules,Sorry I thought since pride has been out of buisness that it would be fine.

I haven't seen the fight posted here Highwave. Thank you for posting it. I remember reading where there was a fuss about Del Rio wearing the mask in the fight. Something like PRIDE didn't want to let him, but eventually they did. If someone finds it, feel free to post. He's not bad really. He's well trained in Greco and Freestyle wrestling and was training for the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics before Mexico pulled the funding for wrestling. From what I've read, he's trained under former UFC Champion, Marco Ruas.

I think the same exact thing every time I see that fight: Cro Cop was a MONSTER in PRIDE.

PRIDE: Are you wearing the mask?

Caras: No, I'm not wearing it. It's impossible. For the other fighters, it's not a problem. They are wrestlers. Or if they kick, they kick the legs, not the head. If I wear the mask, I cannot see. Especially, Mirko has a weird kick from the side. I know people like it but, if I use the mask, my head will explode.

Cro Cop was a MONSTER in PRIDE.

You could really argue that Cro Cop was to Pride what guys like Chuck and Couture were to the UFC.

No doubt about that. The UFC had Liddell, Couture, Franklin and Griffin. PRIDE had Cro Cop, Fedor, Silva and Hendo.

You wouldn't even have to argue that, its a fact plain and simple and I feel bad for Del Rio fighting Cro Cop during his prime would have sucked for anyone.
