Mr Hoost doesn't need to buy axes, he can just chop down trees with that right leg :-O
I swear that that thing shoots out from muscle memory! Press 5 for the money shot.

@TenTonHorse That's cool. I'm just S.W.A.G.ing (scientific wild ass guessing) but Anderson Silva reminds me of a smaller Hoost...
-
@Blueslicks321 Good point with Hunt; I guess that was just his raw strength. I think Hoost would have looked at Cro Cop's success if he went into MMA, and developed his punching power (he could hit hard when he wanted to but Hoost regularly sacrificed power for accuracy so he could set up combos, and he wouldn't have to perform technical combos against lower class strikers in MMA) and ring speed. Then who knows? I agree that he could have done well; I'm just pointing out the style issue.

@TenTonHorse I hear ya ...I use what Mark Hunt did as a bench mark and he's a static fighter (he almost beat Fedor in his prime...would have but gassed) .. so many were able to make the adjustment. I got to believe Hoost would have been able.. Just my opinion...
-
@Blueslicks321 But styles are important. I'm not sure Peter Aerts could adjust to MMA given his more static style. Hoost likes to set up combos whilst Cro-Cop just charged in and fought aggressively, and his explosiveness lent well to MMA, being difficult to takedown. It's difficult to say.

@joebruin666 No he didn't... mostly due to the emergence of MMA came at the end of his career. Damn near all K1 fighters that competed did really well in MMA, so IMO, its safe to say that he would have dominated in his weight class. Crocop for all his impressiveness was Not at Hoost's level and look at what he did.
-
did he ever fight in pride or other mma leagues?
