I'm taking all this with a pinch of salt, but if it were true then it wouldn't be the most illegal act undertaken by either company I'm sure (and would be near impossible to prove).

Pride didnt send him anywhere, he left on his own

Like Pride needs anymore legal problems...anyways they better just keep their nose clean.

UFC surely hs enough $ to keep Pride tied up in suits for a long long time.

Cro cop better show for the next Pre-fight press conference or fans will surely start to hate him and even more foreign fighters. Hehe..it is a really bad plan.

He enters to Pride's themesong because he's PROUD of where he came from (Chuck Liddell was sporting all kinds of UFC stuff when he fought over there). He didn't speak when Joe Rogan asks him to "talk me through the action" because he doesn't speak english well, he is probably experiencing a bit of culture shock coming over to an event like this...and HE JUST GOT THROUGH FIGHTING.

Some of you may not like Dana White but you HAVE to give him credit for his business skills. I'm SURE that he worded Crocops contract to avoid such a thing...besides....what happens if Randy beats him?

crocop speaks better english than half the posters here and majority of posters on sherdog.... he is fluent in english. check your facts rickepoo.

as far as him not commenting or getting excited about his win.....
mirko has never been big on words and probably didn't think what happened in his ufc debut was that big of a deal..

and what do you mean for "an event like this"? crocop is used to fighting in front of 60,000 plus people.. i don't think he was too caught up in the ufc atmosphere... truthfully, it was almost a step down... and i don't mean that as a ufc slam..i like both organizations equally.

I'd type out some long winded response on how mind numbingly stupid that video is but I don't have the time or energy. Instead, simply put, the user that posted the video has a very appropirate name given the content of the video

I agree, alot of UFC fans are into the personalities nearly as much as the fights, they want to hear what the fighters have to say, and if Cro cop continues to skip out on press conferences, there will be a lot of pissed off former fans...

yeah....nobody likes a snob.
