R.I.P Mr. ROGERS!

what happens when a guy with no ground game or even groung fighting experience goes up against a good ground fighter. he has a chance at ko but if he doesnt get lucky he is subbed, this one will go off like a wet squib, rogers gets submitted and taps and nobody really cares.

John I’ve seen that story, it’s not going to happen. Hatton would make more money off 1 last superfight against Khan than he would off a multiple fight MMA career. Given his recent KO loss to Pacman and unprofessional approach to cutting weight he’s done as a fighter and will only have one last payday at best. There is no way that he will spend years training with Randy in BJJ and wrestling for an MMA fight that wouldn’t come close to the Khan payday against an experienced opponent that would most likely outgrapple him and beat him.

Fedor-Grim is a good fight, losing won’t kill Fedor’s legacy but it will kill his claims to being p4p #1 however that is the pressure of being the best in your weight class for so long. People shouldn’t bash Grim, I don’t think he’ll win but he will surprise people and could catch Fedor early like he did to AA.

I’d much rather see Fedor in the UFC, as fights with Brock, Carwin, Cain, JDS and even Randy and Big Nog interest me more than his potential SF fights. He’ll only fight Overroids in Japan, Big Foot is good but unproven and Werdum blew his chance in the UFC and would get killed in the stand-up (the only good things about that fight are Werdum’s BJJ threat and his win over Aleks). Having said that I want to see what Grim can do, he is as worthy a foe as Carwin, Cain or JDS after his smashing of AA and his undefeated record, give the guy a chance and don’t bash him until you see him.

Who cares it’s free I too think it’s another waste of a fight for Fedor but he said it himself he doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone. He has enough nut huggers already to pay the bills so whats another fight against a non top 5 opponent he really only has two top fives on his record and the best men he has beat he did not finish he won by decision and thats to bad for his nut huggers. The rest of us see the BS just think about it the best fighter in the world has not finished a top five fighter? Yes he is good so don’t think I hate him I just don’t think he deserves such high status for fighting opponents that prove nothing.

I will say I am rooting for the Underdog, Rogers (that was obvious, I guess I did not even have to state that). I really like him and want someone to toss a monkeywrench in Vladims plan. If Fedor looses it doesn’t taint his legacy but it does level the undefeated mystique of Fedor as well as his p4p status, which really is M1 and Vladim’s bargaining tool. If he looses to Grim I think it hurts their leverage a bit and it may be a little easier to get him into the UFC. I for one really hope he gets there soon. The UFC HW division is primed and ready for the picking. It has been a long time since the UFC HW division has had anything to be proud (not that Brock is a great rep for mma but he is a monster none the less. With his power and ground game, it could end up being a bad night for FEdor). I do like all the other opps. for Fedor though in the UFC: Velasquez, Dos Santos, Mir, Couture(hopefully not that he is a legit HW contender anymore but with his game planning and ability to stick to strategy it should be a great fight)and Brock. Wouldn’t mind seeing against Nog again, and I even like Gonzaga in a match with him. Lots of people don’t like Gonzaga but when he is on he looks good. I think style wise he makes for a good fight against Fedor as well as Brock.

people keep forgetting after this fight he only has 2 fights left on his contract as a fighter for M1 even tho he has like a 20% share or something along those lines,

strikeforce is a warm up to get him ready for the cage, he clean out there Hw’s ( with exception i think of overeem who i think will be a tough fight for fedor) then move onto greener pastures in the UFC

Words that mattered in beavers rant:

“yes he is good” (FEDOR)

That’s it.

good posts guys!

David: I agree that Rogers shouldn’t be written off! If fans can accept Carwin getting a title shot after proving NOTHING, THen Rogers shouldnt be bashed for getting a title fight. as Fedor’s biggest nuthugger, I have to admit that THE GRIM scares the Fock out of me! If he puts 1 on ANYONE"S chin, they are going to sleep!

I would love to see Grim vs. Dos Santos

JOhn great call on Grim vs. Dos Santos! I Would honestly like to see Grim and those big hands against anyone. I hope he progresses and learns a decent ground game/takedown defense….

The Fujita fight!

oh, and off topic, but my theory on this season of TUF—
MAYBE, the good fights that Dana’s been talking about are Team Rashad vs Team Rashad. Just a thought, but Page’s team has been crap, but going 0-7 cant just be the coaching. the fighters suck too. so maybe Rashad picked ALL the good fighters. anyway, thats me reaching for a last glimmer of hope that this season will get better.

syn – there is a reason hw are in such short supply. tuf 10 is worthwhile even for 1 or 2 new hw finds. and im with you on the better natches still coming

Greg Jackson knows potential Synyster. In the first episode you saw the way they chose teams. So yea, Rampage sucks in all aspects of coaching. But i am still queezy from Dana’s “they were throwing BOMBS!” or cumming all over his pants after a sh!tty first round yesterday. Absolutely disgusting – anyone who disagrees is a ufc shill and delusional.

john wins the award for most ridiculous post of all time!!! one hit wonder grim, steroid overeem, ufc drop out werdum, and steroid head bigfoot are better competition than ufc heavies… hilarious!!! werdum got ktfo by dos santos (ufc). overeem and grim will get taken down and subbed by fedor so fast you wont even know the fight has started yet… but thats better than brock, carwin, nog, dos santos, cain, gonzaga, mir?

Brock, cain carwin, Dos santos are good fights… Well the winner of brock and carwin will be a good fight. Leave Mir out.. He is not that great and is way overrated because of the UFC marketing. Big nog would not be a good fight. Fedor already has two wins over him.

Caesar – minor request, please remove Mir from that list. He’s pretty trash. thanks.

fedor already beat nog twice and by beat he almost murdered him and mir would just lay on the ground and take punches till he gets kod lesnar would just try to lay on him cain would just try to take him down the entire time gonzaga hasnt really fought lately and carwin idk

blarg is right, Fedor vs Big Nog In pride, one of the most Brutal beatings I have ever seen anybody take.

Brock is to green, he’ll get smashed on the ground. None of the match ups anyone is talking about interest me. Brock should get out of the hw division since imo he is far ahead of anyone in it. He should drop down to LHW, I’m not 100% if he can do that but he is a small hw and would have a lot more interesting match ups with faster fighters.

Cogito, are you saying Brock should drop down because he is a small HW? I don’t understand your statement. I think you meant to say Fedor should drop, no?

Brock is too green and then you said that he’s far ahead of anyone in the HW division and he should drop down to LHW? Perhaps you meant someone else Cogito?

Overeem and Big Foot are the 2 best match up for Fedor. All the rest is a joke. If and when Brock will get thru Nog then I’ll say that he’s ready for Fedor until then he ain’t. Carwin, Dos Santos, Cain, Gonzaga, Muur, lol…please. Dos Santos got problems to beat an over the hill Cro Cop(“over the hill” from everyone point of view)a guy that Kongo and GG destroyed before him. Cain is still a blanket, Carwin only got 1 good win over GG and Muur the irrelevent…lol. The UFC opponents aren’t really better in any way than Big Foot, Rodgers, Overeem.

Sorry that whole statement was about Fedor, I was saying Brock is to green and would get smashed by Fedor on the ground. Also saying that Fedor is much better than any fighter and that he is a small HW. I thought it was pretty easy to figure out who I was talking about but I guess not.

I agree cogito, from a fans perspective, lhw has way better fights for fedor, first and foremost Anderson Silva!!! that is ofcourse if Fedor joins the UFC and cuts down before Anderson finishes his contract and leaves, so I may be living in dream land here, but I think that would be the Ultimate MMA fight!!!! the two p4p top guys having a fight. Probably never happen, but if it did it would be the hugest fight in the history of MMA.

How can Fedor lose enough weight to fight LHW? Running with those homeless dudes isn’t going to help him lose enough. Fedor should stay where he is and continue dominating larger men. It makes his wins all the more impressive. If he dropped down all the haters would have another excuse to bash his fights. WHHHHAHHHH he is a HW fighting smaller guys WHHHAAAAAAA. Stay where you are no reason to change a winning formula.

You are really worried about the haters. Fedor isn’t though. He already has proven enough to me that he can handle everyone at HW. I’m expecting him to show just what a novice Brett is comparred to him. btw if you didn’t know this, Fedor has said that his hardest fights have been against smaller guys who normally could be LHWs. Fedor would be proving a ton by dropping down a weight class. He’d be proving he can reign atop what is widely considered the most talent rich and tough weight class there is. And he’d be proving he has been fighting above his natural weight for years and dominating. like I said I just don’t know if he could drop enough weight and how it would affect his game.

I agree Mir kinda sucks, but he would beat Overeem and probably Rogers too

But we haven’t seen what he’s seen. Brett Rogers god dammit. GTFO lil shammy!

he didnt say he was the 2nd best, he said he is the next best as in the future best… either way, he is WAY off!!!

You’re most likely right about this, jay.

Watch your replay of UFC fights instead of Strikeforce, dman08…with Dana lol.

I would think so…I don’t know either.

Yeah it’s for the WAMMA belt…lol! Seriously It’s not, it’a a 3 rnd fight.

Thiago Alves just drop out of his match up with Fitch!

You’re right Alpha. This isn’t even a title fight. Where the heck have I been?

lol…you had me thinking there for a minute, jay…now my head hurts.
