I think Fedor loses this fight badly.

Brett Rogers is big, quick, powerfull and quite skillfull.

Fedor struggles against boxing and hasnt fought in a cage before, I want to put a bet on this because im presuming the odds will be well stacked for Fedor.

Rogers is the kind of heavyweight mma needs, hes interesting to watch and trys to take the opponents head off, I could be wrong and it could be too early for Brett, hes only had 10 paid fights I think but if Arlovski could make Fedor look bad and back him up from punches, I just see Rrogers doing a number on him

You should have put a bet on the lottery. You would have more chance of winning.

Put a pound on Rogers and you have a chance of winning that amount again.

Well from what I saw of Fedor v Arlovski then Fedor will lose to Rogers, he doesnt handle boxing very well and if he gets caught like he was against Arlovski hes going down, Fedor couldnt get in for a take down because he couldnt get past Arlovskis fists, it was Arlovskis chin that let him down yet again

I seen to remember Arlovski getting knocked out when he was jumping at Fedor with a flying knee and that punch came from nowhere.
However your getting me interested now being so confident your fighter will win. I am from the UK and they dont show strikeforce on any TV channel. Is there somewhere on the internet I can watch a live broadcast of this fight and when will the fight be on?

Yes, Arlovskis chin is shite!!

Up till that point though, Arlovskis boxing was backing Fedor up and had him clueless as to how to counter it, Fedor had no answer for the boxing until Arlovski got too comfortable and went to knee Fedor, jumping in the air like a knob leaving himself wide open.

The thing is Rogers has good boxing, very good power and is aggressive, the Three things needed to beat Fedor.

I have no idea who is showing it

yeah, and if ever the fight goes to the ground what is going to happen ?

Fedor is one of the best ground fighter at heavyweight, he knows how to wrestle opponents, taking them to the ground and hitting them really hard, he has this special thing to hit opponents to the ground constantly.

He's very skilful and smart on Submissions, one of the best, in my opinion. We often seems to forget that Fedor has good submissions skills, he's very good at it, submitted Silva in 36 seconds :-).

Plus, Fedor has astonishing fast hands, his boxing skills seems limited, but in fact if you take a look closer, he knows a lot about avoiding punches and counter-punching. In his training DVD, you can see him doing his 3 steps backward while hitting left right combinations. it's the perfect tool against people like Arlovski who tries to put pressure.

Even Mousasi told it during an interview in Holland : Thinking that Fedor has not kickboxing and Boxing skills is just pretty laughable. like he said, maybe he wont KO you with a high kick, but his low kicks and punches are really good.

To conclude, with a good stamina, and exceptional "fighting" spirit, I don't think we can say that Fedor would be "easily" beaten by any heavyweight...

Sure Brett Rodgers has a chance to KO him, but if that fight goes to the ground, I have strong doubt that Rodgers will keep that undefeated record.

Fedor has been in tough spots multiple times. Fujita had him on queer street, Hunt was close to a sub, Randleman powerbombed him, Coleman took him down and was controlling the fight and Arlovski was doing very well. Fedor just wins some way some how. The only detraction one can make is that his striking isn't as polished and technical as some fighters but his handspeed, timing and power are A+. Rogers has a chance b/c of his power and style but he isn't going to bring anything to the fight that Fedor hasn't seen and conquered.

Exactly, Fedor knows how to win and always believe he can turn the tide. I could imagine rogers bombing him till they felt on the ground to finish in a magic arm bar, personally, the only advantage Rogers has over Fedor is a bit more power on the knuckle but that is it.

Your confidence is disproportionate to his ability.

Seriously? Is he really that different than Hunt or Goodridge?
