Fedor or Rogers, final thoughts guys....

Okay, who's it gonna be. I think Rogers brings something special to the cage. I think Rogers has got this, he's gonna land one of his cruise missiles and KO Fedor. He also has been working on his ground game. I just don't see Fedor controlling this guy, he's big, young and has so much explosive strength. Also that mohawk is badass, lol.

Brett destroyed Andrei Arlovski in 22 seconds, the guy who had Fedor in a bit of trouble.

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.

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.

Tony
How 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.

I always root for the under dog (except when BJ fights cuz he is NEVER the under dog). I said Shogun would beat Machida and he did...I say Rogers beats Fedor...by decision.

Chart P. said:
your starting to scare me with your logic dude..did you see Fedor set arlovski up when fedor started backing up playing woulded duck and arlovski took the bait and came in ate the big right hand..too funny! credit too you Curt good observation.

Curt Leong said:
haha, your absolutely right. Rogers should feel honored to have fought agaisnt the greatest. Fedor was never in trouble against Arlovski...that is Fedor's game, he some times baits you in so he can take the kill.
