I need you guys to settle an argument between me and my friend. I think Cro Cop is better off moving down to 205 where I think he would even be able to pull off a win against Machida but my friend disagrees.
what you guys think? vote/post your thoughts.

Depends if CroCop brings it no doubt the CroCop of old would drop Machida quickly on the feet and his takedown defense used to be top notch. The dude kind of just fell off, but even now I'd probably take CroCop over Machida if CroCop had a reason to fight.

yeah just my thoughts. I think crocop has just been over matched with size especially as of late. I've always thought of him as a really small hw. Cro Cop could beat any of the current fighters in the LHW division IMO. he just seems to be physically over matched against the HW's and is the reason for his past couple of loses IMO.

Cro Cop couldn't cut to 205, IMO.
Cro Cop really should retire, everybody has the guys # he's like Liddell there is no secret to what his motive is and anybody that's well rounded with confidence in their abilities can beat him.
CroCop is pretty much done. He's just in there for a paycheck nowadays. He even said he has suicidle thoughts and ****. Machida counters his way to a boring victory...

of course he could. he's only like 220lbs. Forrest and Ortiz walk around at about 235. Hell, even Anthony Johnson who fought at 170 last week gets up to 220 lbs. No doubt that Cro Cop could make the LHW division. He'll be more natural at that weight IMO.

****, I didn't know that. thats sad. hopefully he gets another chance and gets a good win.
I'm telling you guys, cro cop could be reborn if he ever fights at LHW.

I think he could cut down too 205. He usually comes in around 225 doesn't he? I just don't think his heart is in it anymore.
I was very, very disturbed after the loss to dos Santos. I was in such a state that I wished to hang myself in my hotel room so I would be gone. Three losses in my last seven fights is nothing but a disaster to me. That’s a terrible score, and I’m not happy about it. I am seriously thinking about hiring a psychiatrist to help me out. I have already made some calls about it.”
