|  CroCop: More dangerous in UFC than Pride
With the addition of CroCop to the UFC HW division, I believe CroCop will become an even more dangerous fighter. For one, the octagon is striker friendly. If someone is pushing the action he will easily be able to move around, instead of getting stuck in the corner of a squared ring. Also, CroCop has great takedown defense but if he is taken down he will be able to use the cage to his advantage to get back up, ala Chuck Liddell. Lastly, CroCop will be able to utilize elbows in the clinch to only make his standup even more lethal. The only drawback I foresee is soccer kicks to the head being illegal to a downed opponent. Not that big of a deal, but the only setback to the soon to be crowned HW champ.

I'm not sure if he could get any more dangerous. He's like Ivan Drago but with Missle kicks and less compassion. And he was head of some Croation special forces unit too I believe. A scary guy all around.

how is it striker friendly?
the UFC is wrestler friendly. hands down. the cage makes wrestlers 10x more effective. an effective sprawl is countered by sheer speed and momentum. guys like Kos will just diving turtle and run into the fence, and do a simple ankle pick and have the fight where they want.
if they tried that shit in Pride, they would get kneed so many times in the head their brains would leak out through their noses.
the only advantage for striker is more frequent standups.
