Fedor v Rogers

[VictorCharlie]

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.

Fedor's nose had been damaged during training, hence it busting open from a jab. Sorry doesn't matter how many more fights rogers had he wasn't going to beat fedor. As someone else mentioned you better be the complete all around package to beat fedor, because that's what he is, good at everything, and superb in some aspects. People say he was losing this and that fight up till the ko punch, or submission or whatever and try and claim it's luck or whatever, which is stupid imo cause you can see he's constantly thinking and trying to find that moment...also if fedor was allowed to continue rogers would have been in a hospital and that is not hyperbole, rogers was curling up in a fetal position fedor would have busted him all kinds of ugly, he was dazed pretty bad by the punch that put him down.

LOL that was not a quick stoppage.

Roger was lying flat on the floor. fact. The referee stopped it when Fedor started to ground and pound him without any fire back. Fact. Roger took some time to wake up as he was totally staggered. Fact. Fedor ALMOST submitted Roger 2 times in te first round. Fact. In the first round, every judges voted it for Fedor. Fact. Fedor's technique isn't perfect (for boxing) but his force, speed and timing are A+. Fact.

Fact: I told you that Fedor would bust out Rogers without too much difficulties. That happened, Rogers gave him a more difficult fight than many anticipated but he was nowhere close to win the first round and neither was he for the second before the stoppage.

Roger was absolutely not of Fedor's calibre. FACT
