Looking Cro-Cop’s record and how he went from K-1 to Pride, to UFC, to K-1, Glory, Inoki BBY, back to UFC, Rizin, finishes his career in Bellator.
Has anyone that’s hopped as many organizations seen as much success in their late careers as Cro Cop had?
Glover
Randy Couture
Hey guys, Forrest Griffin was once a UFC champ, I’m not even kidding. He also choked out a prime Shogun lol.
Mousasi
M-1
Rings
Deep
Pride
Cage Warriors (champ)
Bodog FIGHT
Dream (double champ)
K-1
Strikeforce (champ)
UFC
Bellator (champ)
Winning records in all of them.
Honorable mentions: Overeem, Alvarez
Prime? Really?
I’d say he was pretty much in his prime despite the Coleman stuff.
He was 24 yrs old…
Wasn’t he injured and needed surgery on his knees? Pretty sure he had a long layoff after that fight. He was fat.
Would not consider Randy, Cro Cop, or Glover as “journeymen”. Glover’s end of career run was pretty awesome. Robbie Lawler winning the WW title late in his career was cool also.
This is actually a pretty difficult question to come up with an answer for.
How about Jim Miller? He’s 13 and 1 since 2008.
I fucked up.
He’s actually 7 and 5 since 2020.
I would consider a “Journeyman” as someone who fought in multiple styles, multiple organizations, and going anywhere in the world to do so.
Randy, Cro Cop, or Glover fit that pretty well. Overeem too.
Fan of both of them and knew they had trained together so was hoping for a good fight.
It is your thread so from your definition, Alex Pereira is my answer.
Fuck, forgot to mention Hendo but that’s a good one. KO’d Fedor and went back to UFC to finish things out.
Definitely a current model of journeyman dudes from the past.
Nope Jimmy…it was my fuck up. I "ass u me"d the top was the oldest.
My brain is admitted foggy as of late.
Thanks for correcting me.
It’s cool.
Jim Miller has his own categorization - such as “Who is the best Jim Miller to ever live?”
