I've never really followed closely MMA because it's on PPV but i've watched both the CBS events so far and plan on watching tonight. I followi it enough to know that Fedor Emilinako or whatever is a Russian, considered by many to be the best heavyweight fighter in all of MMA and hasn't lost a fight in almost a decade. I know Brett Rogers is an African American and is 10-0 has demolished his competition but at the same time hasn't fought anyone anywhere close to Fedor

Yeah, I'm gonna give that a big fat NO. I have more important things to do than watch two guys throw a few punches and then roll around on the floor holding each other for the rest of the match. Not my cup of tea.

What a vicous hand. I was kinda worrying that with Rogers built as he is, he could take some heavy hits from Fedor, but that throws my questioning mind out of the window. I have no doubts Fedor can KO anyone, now. Even Lesnar and his ancient tree-sized neck. Rogers put up a good enough fight, glad to see that. :)

Yeah, that exit interview was pretty embarrassing. I hope he has a mad concussion and was just saying those things not knowing what he was saying, but I kinda doubt it. Rogers showed he had ok striking, but if he threw his hands more in a rematch against Fedor, we'd see the same result. Rogers' size was Fedor's issue(in my perspective), not Rogers' striking. I hope Fedor doesn't have to have a rematch, because I want to see a certain different matchup :P

Fedor's biggest challenge was adapting to a fence (which he did really well as the fight progressed). That was bs when rogers was grabbing the fence.

This WAS Fedor's first cage fight, wasn't it? Hrm, that's also really huge. We've seen how it's affected people used to rings in the past. Glad he adapted. The more he's used to it, the better he'll be at it.

I wouldn't call Rogers a scrub. He's not awesome, but with his size and power it would be interesting to see how he'd do against a guy like Lesnar who suddenly wouldn't have size to overpower his opponent. Overeem isn't a scrub either. It's like saying Anderson Silva fights scrubs. He doesn't, but he wins anyways. Leites and Cote are mid-tier middleweights, but Franklin is a great middleweight/LHW, as is Hendo, and Griffin is a good LHW. Fedor's last three fights were against quality opponents: Sylvia, Arlovski and Rogers.

And all those opponents were ranked top 10. Sylvia was around top-5, Arlovski #2, and Rogers anywhere from #6-10.

He's fought plenty top ranked heavyweight fighters, the only reason people are saying he is a joke is because they want him to see Brock Lesnar. Lesnar has been in MMA for a little over a year, maybe Lesnar should be the one to come to him.
