Chuck Liddell and Mirko Cro Cop: Comeback Kings or MMA Laughing Stock? VIDEO

The top two bouts in UFC 115 tonight both feature fighters who were once the hottest property in town, but have not won lately: Chuck Liddell and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.
Chuck Liddell has lost four of his last five fights, and even Dana White speculates that his chin is gone (see video below). On the other hand, Liddell is leaner than he has ever been in his life, reportedly due to the coachings of his girlfriend Heidi Northcott, and his trainer says he has used the last 14 months of not fighting wisely.
Cro Cop has not beaten a high-ranking MMA fighter since 2006 when he fought Josh Barnett. That’s a long time to go without a significant victory. On the other hand, Cro Cop has a significant experience advantage over his challenger tonight, Pat Barry, having fought six times more fights than Barry.
Tonight’s matchups should be interesting, as we see whether Chuck Liddell and Mirko Cro Cop should have retired or are finally back from Loserville.

Just because Chuck and Cro Cop got old doesn’t make them laughingstocks, to whatever tool who wrote this.\
agree with Kyle, how do you call two mma legends laughing stocks! Everyone can agree that their careers are winding down, but the respect that these guys have earned, the titles they have won, one is a pride veteran the other a ufc hall of famer who launched mma into the mainstream,you are just a casual obserevr who has no clue what your writing about!
