Didn't Sapp almost beat Minotauro though? If I'm thinking of the correct match, I believe it was Sapp/Mino in a Pride fight. I seem to remember Sapp being ahead until Mino caught him in an armbar.

I don't understand why he fights K-1 so much. I would think Pride would be much better suited for him. In k-1, people should just kick him in the thighs over and over until he can't move. Hoost did that the first round but then the idiot blocked one of Sapp's punches with his face and it was all over. Sure Sapp would need to learn more submission defenses and counters, but I'd think he would be able to use his weight more to an advantage.

K-1 pays him more, and he doesn't have to train as hard for K-1 vs PrideFC. Sapp has great potential but he gases easily. Josh Barnett stated Sapp has mad grappling strength. But do you think he can really take on Fedor, or CroCop.

Minaotauro has one great chin, ask CroCop. He stated that he was waiting for the right time for submission and waiting for Sapp to gas.
 
I'll give you a prediction, plus clear up a few things.

First my prediction, Tyson will KO Bob Sapp. Bob Sapp is HUGE but with K-1 rules, the advantage goes to Tyson. Sapp is just slower than sh!t! If it was UFC/Pride rules, Sapp would have a better chance of beating Tyson. For God's sake, Kimo almost knocked Bob Sapp out! And Kimo's stand up sucks!

Now if you want to see a serious beating, put Tyson vs Mirko Cro Cop! Tyson would suffer the most vicious KO of his entire career! Cro Cop is a K-1 fighter that went to Pride during a Pride vs K-1 event. This guy swings his leg like a 2X4 and aims for your head, and connects more so than not! I'd rather see that match but I don't think Tyson wants any part of CroCop. If that match EVER happens, get ready to see Tyson's head get knocked clean off! 🙂

yeah i don't see Tyson getting very far in K-1. But that would be the best place for him to fight.

with Pride or UFC he would be at a major disadvantage. he wouldn't last very long against some of the people.

K-1 may pay him more, but if he is training LESS for K-1, he is going to be in a world of hurt. And Sapp has already fought Cro Cop. Cro Cop dropped him like a bad habit. 😉

Nogueira (AKA: Minotauro) is an AWESOME grappler but Cro Cop was slapping him around at the last Pride Grand Prix! Sh!t, if the first round went a few seconds more, Nogueira would have been KOed. That was Cro Cop's fight all the way! If they have a rematch, I'd put my money on Cro Cop.

 
All these talk about Crokop... I saw his last fight in the interim championship... and he lost to that one guy (wtf was his name, the Rio dude), submission, arm bar. He did kicked and punched, but lost... I personally thought that the Brazillian dude was a sissy, but Crokop lost the fight.

Uh dude, Nogueira ("the Brazillian dude") is one of the best fighters out there. Once he gets you to the ground you will most likely be submitted or you'll be fighting for your life to get back on your feet. That being said, CroCop's fight with Nogueira was a fight CroCop should have one. But in that type of fight, if you screw up just a little, you'll lose. If a rematch happens, CroCop should win pretty easily. That is the ONLY time CroCop lost an MMA fight. All his other fights ended up with the other guy being KOed. See if you can get the fight were CroCop fought Igor Vovchanchyn. Igor was a guy that has never been knocked and usually KOs his opponents. Well Igor got KOed in the beginning of round 1 by a left round house by CroCop. CroCop doesn't throw alot of punches and kicks. But whatever he throws (usually a left round house), he throw to knock you out. 😉
