UFC 67: Rampage and Cro Cop video highlights

by MMAmania.com on Jan 29, 2007 3:57 PM EST Comment 11 comments

Judging by the lack of footage (and there's tons of it) the UFC is showing of its latest superstar acquisitions — Mirko "Cro CopÃ¯Â¿Â½? Filipovic and Quinton "RampageÃ¯Â¿Â½? Jackson — it's pretty clear that PRIDE FC has not given its biggest competitor access to the full library of their sensational highlights.

Can you blame them?

At UFC Fight Night 8, I must have seen the same brief clips of the two fighters at least 30 times on the big screen between bouts. It's the same footage the UFC used during UFC 66, which according to Sherdog.com, was approved by PRIDE officials for that event only.

The footage on the UFC 67 microsite, which the UFC may or may not have received permission to use, is the most I've seen come from the organization to date.

Even still, it's not even close to good enough.

So, I tracked down two pretty solid highlight reels of Rampage and Cro Cop, who will both make their debuts this Saturday, February 3, at UFC 67.

Rampage will look to avenge a loss from earlier in his career against Marvin Eastman, while Cro Cop will clash with relative unknown Eddie Sanchez.

I seriously think I have a man crush on Cro Cop. It's bad.

Left High Kicks, Special Forces footage and Suave Schick commercials. How could you not have a man-crush on him?

Watching Cro Cop dismantle and eventually KO Wanderlei Silva with the LHK at the 2006 OWGP was one of the most exhilarating KO’s I’ve seen live…pray for Eddie Sanchez…

Great, More lame Pride fighters. To all you lame ass monkeys who think Rampage will beat liddel you obviously know nothing. What’s funny is all these mark ass bitches that talk all that “Im the shit, aint nobody fenna stop me dog!” Always end up laying on the canvas wandering where the f*** they are! good luck Lame ass Pride fighters!

Bottom line: Liddell has improved greatly and should beat rampage easily with a second round k.o.

Cro cop is a much more DEVESTATING striker AND BEST MMA KICKER period. Courture has never fought anyone like this before. Sylvia is a joke…Courture will LOSE the fight with Cro Cop and he will NOT be able to take Cro Cop down. CRo cop has the best take-down defense in MMA. Watch the Mark coleman fight if you do not believe me…. Poor Randy, will lose the H.W. belt once again…Cro cop will Not lose in the UFC UNLESS FEDOR comes on board…Fedor can and HAS beaten CRo Cop….

We now know Rampage Jackson wiped the floor with Liddell (again), so any arguments saying Liddell is god and Pride / Rampage suck are null and void. Rampage is not only hilarious, he can fight.
Cro-Cop lost his second fight in UFC, as one of the top 5 fighters in the world, he has a lot of work ahead of him to keep the spot.

hopefully we will see more PRIDE FC fighters come to UFC. There will be big changes when they do.
