I'll keep it short and simple FEDOR!!!!
Well since a fighter can improve so much in two years, what does that say about how much Fedor has improved in the last 9 years? If you can document for me how good Brett's takedown defense is today, I would love to see it, but I guess we might find out soon enough. I'm excited to watch Fedor fight, and happy it's free.

You do raise a good point, however this fight is the best part of 2 years old. Over that time a fighter can improve so much. Also James is a big guy, you know. I really don't think this fight is enough evidence to doubt Brett's takedown defence today.
TonyHow can you not see Fedor controlling this guy? A world combat sambo champion in Fedor who happens to fight guys who are bigger than Rogers, will be able to take Rogers down pretty easily. As you can see in this video, Rogers was taken down by a James Thompson within a minute of the fight. Rogers will be toast when Fedor takes him down. If a mediocre fighter like Thompson can take Rogers down, Fedor will have no problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Rogers, I like him as a fighter, but Fedor will win.

Here Rogers mixes it up a bit, a bit of takedown defence, a bit of hair pulling, lol. I think it shows progress. This Abongo guy had a chin like a motherfucker though, also the canvas was a bit slippy. In the end Brett just destroyed the guy in the exchanges. I don't believe Fedor will be able to take the heat. Amen to free MMA.
