Really? According to Overeem they were offered contracts and Cro Cop wouldn't sign it. If Cro Cop wasn't ducking OVereem,don't you think he would of mentioned Dream not wanting to set it up.

I'd like to see him come to the UFC for the sole reason that Overeem would probably follow him.

He wont come back he hates being humiliated!

im a big crocop fan, but im just not sure if he really wants it all anymore. I do think overeem is the guy they should be after at the mo though, he's looking great at hw, lhw was just too much of a cut i think.

Key phrase there: "According to Overeem."

He's been nothing but disrespectful of Cro Cop thus far, and I see no reason to take anything he says with less than a grain of salt.

Yeah Overeem has made sure to talk a lot even when no one wants to hear him talking. There have been reports on here with saying it was DREAMs decision to not sign the rematch.

That's your opinion, but the fact that he commented on the issue while Cro Cop won't leads me to believe him.

the thing is, affliction never meant to backstab the UFC. They saw an opportunity in the MMA market and they took it. If anything the UFC should just let affliction do their thing. Dana wants total control on the sport of mma and that's wrong. If Affliction agreed to not invade vegas territory and told them they would not host shows that conflict with ufc events, then what's the beef? Its not like Affliction has waged a formal war against the ufc. I think dana is acting more like a child about this and less like a businessman. Haha imagine if coke and pepsi pulled this crap

Pulled what? UFC doesn't want anything Affliction in their show. Tell me one coke commercial that has a Pepsi product or a person wearing a pepsi shirt in it.

I'm one of very few people that's never thought much of Cro Cop. Or very highly of him or whatever (as a fighter, not personally speaking). He seems like a fighter who needs to be comfortable.

And I don't think America makes him comfortable. Not the fans, not the atmosphere, not the amount of work with the media he has to deal with...Nothing about fighting here seemed to suit him.

I just don't think Crocop wants to fight anymore. I remember Big John M, saying Cropcop said he was getting too old for this during one of his fights.
