Fedor v Rogers

[armin]

Bret sounded like a sore loser and was talking as if he somehow had fedor right where he wanted him, and didn't go down from a punch and wasn't about to get the pummeling of a lifetime...if I was fedor I'd be like you never ever getting a rematch.

The commentators obviosly wanted Rogers to win, as soon as he done something it was amasing. He did hit Fedor with a good punch and gave him a few seconds of good ground and pound but nothing Fedor has not been against before.
I dont want to see a rematch I would rather see Fedor get a better challange. The likes of Brock, Anderson Silva, Shogun, Machida.
I know most of these are light heavyweight but Fedor could move down easily.
Is their anyone else in Strikeforce who would have a chance against Fedor?

Don't know much about strikeforce honestly, this was the first card of theirs that I saw. I have no idea if they got anyone else good to throw at fedor, my knowledge of mma is pretty limited and I just know the big names really...knew more about it when pride fc was around and you could watch it weekly on fox sports net...i don't think i've seen a loser be as dastardly whiny as rogers tho...

Well... Not surprising at all, Rogers did almost nothing... one good punch, a few seconds of pounding attempt that almost ended up in an armbar for Fedor. Not surprising neither, Fedor recovered pretty well from the punch though his nose bridge was bleeding like a Friday the 13th victim and he eventually knocked out Rogers cold in the second round with an Emperor's punch on the button. So Ross.... no, good boxing skills and good strength aren't enough to defeat Mother Russia.

I imagine that Fedor will face the Strikeforce champ Overeem next followed by a title defense against Werdum. Both these guys are decent HWs but none will really challenge Fedor. Not sure who exactly that Dream has in their HW stable to put in against Fedor. I think the big picture is to have him and Mousasi keep winning and eventually face each other.

Its a shame, I thought that Rogers would have enough to beat Fedor, he wasnt out when the fight was stopped, he was dropped hard but still had alot about him, he could have continued or even been allowed the luxury of seeing whether he could at least get back to his feet.

Rogers was a novice, he only had 10 fights, given a few more fights against better opposition I think he would have wan, I did say it might have been too early but Rogers could have continued

This was a novice, but Fedor did struggle in the cage and yes I do think good boxing will splatter Fedor, Rogers didnt really use his boxing, apart from the jab that split Fedors nose, he managed to handle Fedor on the deck as well.

He deffinitly should have been given time to prove he could carry on though.
