|  Cro Cop's weakness?
i was talking to some people (no names will be given out lol) who have trained with Cro Cop, Assuerio, and other fighters etc...
they were telling me how Cro Cop is easily top 3 p4p in the world (but we all knew that). Then they told me how he trains, and how Cro Cop has a difficult time getting out of the thai clinch. They were telling me that this was Cro Cop's weakness (once again, names will not be given out).
But then i was thinking, has any fighter ever got Cro Cop in the clinch? or has he defended himself from a situation like that?
peace

I can't think of any, most get knocked out if they get in to close and not too many HW's use a thia clinch.
He's only weakness is the ground game which is not a problem in the UFC..

crocop's only weakness is if his LHK bounces off the opponents head and hits him in the face

Who among the [current] UFC HW's is going to throw an effective MT clinch on him? Hell... it wasn't a problem for him in Pride. He isn't going to be fighting a 250lb Anderson Silva. I don't think it can really be called a weakness until it's being exploited effectively.

CroCop's biggest challenge will be fighting an opponents with an iron chin or even someone really tall like Sylvia may have him change his gameplan. Eitherway he is a pretty dominant fighter.

I thought Crocop's weakness was Hoastest Cupcakes. "They are so good though"

if brandon vera hasn't really gone to pride, he's got a good clinch. kongo too. but he's too good to let kongo get him in a clinch and i don't think vera would keep him there for long either
