Strikeforce results and LIVE fight coverage for 'Fedor vs Rogers' in Hoffman Estates on Nov. 7

I think the Silva-Werdum and Shields-Miller fights are most likely to be battles, maybe even decisions. The other two fights are most likely going to be fireworks with Soko and Rogers wanting to bang, and Moussasi and Fedor being willing to exchange at least until they feel uncomfortable. I’ll be shocked if they’re all one-rounders. And honestly most of the casual fans I know love a KO anyways.

i agree dice, its a good mix silva-werdum and shields-miller are great match ups and soko gregard should be fireworks and fedor fighting is all that needs to be said in his match up. puck your wrong and miller beat lawler before as well and won’t be subbed early.

Last time I seen frankenstein fight was when Kimbo beat tank Abbott against Ricco Rodriguiz and antonia in my opinion should of lost in a great fight. I think werdum will work him on the feat and be able to keep it standing it can end up a ground struggle i jsut think werdum is to well rounded for Frankenstein. And mayheim is around the same calibure of fighter as Shields last opponent Lawlar I feel they should of got Ronaldo in this fight but bully beat down got the nod because he is more popular with the american fans. Hope your right though dice I would like to see one or two good tilts.

lol puck, werdum stand up, well rounded? miller already beat lawler and shields won’t sub him.

PH, can you please translate the following sentence into English. I have no idea what it means.

“Last time I seen frankenstein fight was when Kimbo beat tank Abbott against Ricco Rodriguiz and antonia in my opinion should of lost in a great fight.”

Sadly, unlike whatever your native language is, English requires a bit of punctuation to be understood.

last………. time…… I…….. seen………. Frankenstein(Silva)……… fight………. was when Kimbo ………. beat(won)……….. tank abbot…………against(the man Silva fought)……ricco …………and in my opinion ………..should ………….of ……..lost …….the fight …… in a great fight. Do ………. you ………. understand L…………..O…………….L.

roy Werdum has good stand up not great but I think it’s better than Silva’s. Werdum held his own against AA and lost to Santos both great strikers on the ground Werdum is great and Silva is good. I don’t think Silva will last past round two, after this fight I would like to see werdum face AA again or Rogers to get a shot at the title after Fedor destroys Overeem. I don’t think anyone has much of a chance against Fedor out of the Strikeforce fighters right now but I think Werdum has the best chance and is the second best HW in Strikeforces division.

werdum stand up has improved from non exsistant to some but is not good. i agree he probally is their best hw(after fedor) but silva might beat him its hard to say how good silva is or isn’t.

I hope so I have not seen him fight since RR and he did not look to good even though he won, werdum has been looking pretty good and your right if the best Silva comes out we might get a good fight I just don’t see it. Anyway I’m probally just thinking the worst I feel the pro boxing and anti mmma media, fighters and promoters are going to judge this event looking for ammo to throw at MMA and in my opinion lopsided fights could be great ammo for the anti MMA community that the average casual fan would agree with?

Whoa boy! Not THAT much punctuation! OK, PH, I think I’ve deciphered your slo-mo version of this sentence.

Originally it sounded like you were watching a Frankenstein movie wherein Kimbo used Tank Abbot (as a blunt object) to bludgeon Ricco and Antonia (Julius Caesar’s wife??). And in your opinion [someone] should (have) lost a great fight.

Now I believe you’re trying to convey that you saw Antonio Silva fight Ricco Rodriguez in a great fight that Silva should have lost, which occured on the same card as the Kimbo/Tank fight. Is that correct?

silva via KO

I got Wedum,Sheilds, Mousasi, and in the upset of the year I got Brett Rogers KOing Fedor. Believe me when I say there is no reason for me to think Fedor should lose this fight, but over the past couple days I’ve just had the feeling that Rogers is going to shock the world. All logic leeds me to believe Fedor will submit Rogers or pound him out, but I’ve been calling a lot of upsets latley (not here cause my computer has been busted) based on gut feelings and have had pretty good luck so far. So I’m going to keep going with it and take Rogers in the upset of the century. Won’t that turn the MMA world on its head.

After watching tape on Rogers for the past hour or so, the man’s power is a bit overrated. Even i was kinda getting sucked into this fight as having some stylistic merit for fedor but Rogers is not a true one shot kill guy. The horrid chin of Arloski just blinded us into thinking so. He still does a lot of good things for a HW though like throwing in combos, surprisingly athletic and good base with decent sprawl. He does far better work from the clinch on the inside than striking from the outside. That’s his tendency which plays into fedor’s hand.

He was fighting on the undercard of an Elite XC event 8 months ago. He isn’t special and this should be a very short warm up for Fedor.

you have no perception of time atall

JG, you’re right it was a lot longer than that wasn’t it?

Good point NNR as well for being known as a striker he made a big mistake having his left hand below his chin against anyone especially heavy handed fedor that arm should be up guarding all the time I think he got lazy and was fatigued though he did a excellent job defending Fedors fury of strikes against the cage and should of been ready for the bomb that fedor threw so often.

nnr im not willing to throw money down against fedor or mousasi, ill pick them but no way i’d bet that im not a total dumbass

JRE, that WAMMA piece of scrap counts as a belt. The Fedor/AA fight was 5 rounds wasn’t it? I can’t remember.

the fedor fight is for the WAMMA title I thought.

bah da bing

You guys need to take off your tin foil hats and pyramids -Strikeforce has always had that rule. Never noticed why people didn’t throw elbows ever there?

He’s the only man to have sat for more than an hour of combined fight time in Big Nog’s guard without getting subbed. I think his ground is just fine.

Agreed Fedor is probably the smartest fighter under pressure.

Still the fact that he couldn’t sub Rodgers tells me he will have trouble subbing Lesnar.

yuuup thats why i dont know about him and brock. at this point i know fedor can KO brock with one punch but it all depends on if brock has the balls to stand and bang with him.

It was a winging over hand right. Fedor didn’t throw a straight punch that whole fight. Rogers had him.

the straight is the one that tucked rogers in and kiss him goodnight

androog the punch started at his knees and went in a loop over his head. Go to sleep, you are drunk.

I wish we could see that fight. Maybe next year.

The biggest thing about brock he has great endurance and is stronger than Rogers mistakes can happen by the best and one thing that makes Fedor as great as he is is once he attacks he is relentless. I have no doubt Brock would destroy Rogers who might hold him off for a few minutes but once Brock felt him tire and trust me the Rogers we seen tonight would gas. We all knew Rogers had a punchers chance and he came close he said he should of punched more but that would of fatigued him even more.

what does p4p mean then? are u the legal voice on the p4p debate. p4p to me means a guy who can hold his own vs. anyone, regardless of size. a guy that can move quick enough to keep up with guys smaller than he and a guy who is strong and stout enough to hang with guys bigger than he. since we’ve never seen gsp fight anyone bigger than him, well then in my eyes he doesn’t even meet the criteria for being considered

and another thing PUNK! u wanna take a comment i made about a fighter and make it personal between u and i, saying i need to “die” because u think i’m mentally disabled. u spoiled lil rich kid who’s mommy and daddy didn’t teach u any manners. are u telling me when u see a mentally handicapped person u think they should die? do u think ur better than they are or something? i’ve done 4 tours of duty in iraq punk, don’t for 1 second of ur life think that ur a better man than i! what have u done ur life worth speaking of punk!

OHHHHH, so you really don’t know what P4P means. Sorry I thought you did and were just making ignorant posts. P4P means, imagine everyone weighed 185 pounds, who with the skills they have would be the best. What you described would just be the toughest man in the world contest. If P4P was decided the way you thought it was, why would anyone below 205 ever be considered? GSP would lose to a lot of people bigger than him, your P4P makes no sense.

deuce, not to be a total douche, but taking orders from someone in a war that should have never been is not worth speaking of either. When you see an Iraqi walking down the street or trying to defend their country even, do you believe they should die? Plus I am 34, far from a mommy and daddy’s boy. And don’t be mad at me because my grades were good enough to go to school instead of enlisting.

Jay you’re a straight up fucking bitch.

maybe true. Lesnar is prob tough to armbar though.

6919 Southside Dr..louisville ky 40219

And where did you learn to cuss…I bet you are probably about 15 yrs old in your grannys basement…you also probablt think Kimbo is gonna win TUF

oh i see where it is .. so you want me to say it to your face why don’t you meet at e kenwood dr – southside dr …i will be rigth at that intersection…kenwood rive-in theatre.. ? … boy i will whoop your ass.. yeah and you wrong about my age … let me know when?

Not to interfere or get in on this, but are you a real US soldier or just a street soldier from the mean streets of Louisville? LOL.

nodir are you retarder.Do you even read what you are typing..oh yeah nice use on the google map.I’m sure you will show up

did u see what no hands gonzaga did to carwin?! lol, brett rogers would KO shane carwin EASILY!! did u see how kongo dropped cain, brett rogers would KO cain velasquez EASILY!! the only HW in the ufc that fedor hasn’t already dominated “Nog” that could even beat brett rogers is lesnar. i think nog could beat rogers too, but that’s irrelevant considering if nog had to fight fedor again nog would probably get permanent brain damage. he’s been beat on the head by fedor for 40 minutes, another 25 mins of that power would be fatal. carwin n cain’s wrestling wouldn’t mean shit to rogers, he’s too big and wide and massive. carwin can’t even wipe his own ass when he shits, how would he get his arms around rogers to get him down? say what u want, but the man fedor beat 2nite is better than all but 2 of the ufc’s HW’s

Rogers is too big for Lesnar and Shane? Are you proof-reading any of this dribble? Brock and Shane are both bigger than Rogers. Plus they both have an actual background to help them. Shane and Brock weren’t changing tires and begging for change 2 years ago.

was carwin even fighting 2 yrs. ago? lesnar and carwin need to fight. they’ve gotten off easy ever since they started fighting and they’ve never had to fight anyone their own size! u talk like their victories are big deals! come on man, who should win when 1 fighter outweighs the other by 30 lbs. u act like a 280 lb man beating a 240 lb man is something special! that’s nothing special at all! if anything those wins should be considered cheap. that’d be like pat berry demanding introduction to the ufc HOF after beating clay guida!

Gozoga is just as big as Carwin FYI. there are only a hand full of fighters that are any good over 250 pounds deuce Rogers is one of them The best two fighters over 250 are going at it whenever Brock gets over whatever sickness he has like really who is the biggest guy Rogers has faced LOL?

FYI,gonzaga tops out at 250, carwin’s went on record saying he cuts to 265 from about 280. ah 250-280, apples-oranges. so because there aren’t many good fighters 250+ that’s supposed to make brock’s dominance more legit or what. maybe that’s why he got into the sport in the 1st place, cause he knew he would be the biggest guy in the cage anytime he fought. maybe he’s havin second thoughts about fighting carwin, maybe he doesn’t like the idea of facing someone his own size for once in his life

A background Deuce, You know as in wrestling their whole lives. Rogers was a clerk at Sam’s club. Why is it that every Brock hater brings up the weight difference? Do you think he invented the weight divisions? He is just a fighter playing inside the rules, he’s not making them.

get this straight. i’m a Huge fan of lesnar’s. i like his attitude towards fighting, i love his nononsense, no shit talking approach. i like his down to earth lifestyle. no he’s not making the weight classes, yes he is following the rules. that doesn’t make his accomplishments astonishing or spectacular or anything like that. it just means he’s making the most of every advantage he’s got. in fact, brock should NEVER lose in the current weightclass system they have. no man with any fighting skills at all should ever lose to a man 30 lbs. lighter than himself. u think brock’s win’s should be applauded, i think his losses should be ridiculed

Yeah….but he knows top competition is in the UFC…and will more than likely never fight there

I think your right his management knows this and did what they think is the smart thing for his career but luckily fans have more say than anything and more and more fans are starting not to see Fedor as the best and I think the right thing because if you want to be called the best you must face the best.

so u wanna say some fighter in an org. whose belts change hands as often as the moon is more deserving of the top ranked HW spot in the world? if that were the case how many different #1’s would there have been over the past 18-24 months?? 5? sylvia,then couture, then nog, then mir, now lesnar, soon possibly carwin. come on man, u cant have a revolving door at the top spot. let 1 man in the ufc get on half the run of title defenses like fedor’s had over the past 9 years, then possibly u got a legit challenger. let 1 man completely clean out the ufc’s HW division like fedor did PRIDE’s, then u got a case. say fedor comes to ufc, beats lesnar, then dana throws somebody else at him, then somebody else, then somebody else, til finally dana finds the magic bullet and someone beats fedor, and that would supposedly justify dana saying “see, told u fedor wasn’t the best in the world, took me forever to find out who really was, but i knew it wasn’t fedor”. that’s bs man and u know it

That whole post reeks of clueless blathering. Deuce you are out of your element here, go get some sleep.

intro calm down it was a good fight end of story most MMA fans were satisfied with tonights show and most MMA happen to be UFC fans as well because the like MMA your not a MMA fan your just a fedor fan it’s obvious.

LOL your man Fedor looked bad against the #9 ranked HW Intro fans are starting not to only look at the record but the quality of opponents on his record and you have to be honest take away Fedor the UFC HW division would destroy the Strikeforce division even with Fedor in the Strikeforce divison the UFC would destroy. I don’t think the MMA world is going to let Fedor get away with what some boxers have done and duck the top competion to gaurd their boxers inflated record.

Fedor would beat anyone in the UFC…no prob.

Why do you UFC fags always tunr to “the UFC ‘division’ is better”?

lmao…..who cares what “division” is better…..Fedor is the best.

agreed. Fedor wasn’t strong on the ground and the #9 HW in the world or whatever he is, looked better in the fight until he got KO’ed

intro UFC fans are also MMA fans your man crush on fedor clouds your judgement and having any kind of intelligent debate with you is pointless.

“who cares what "division" is better…..Fedor is the best.”

Fedor is currently fighting in a division full of mediocre heavyweights. It’s time for him to prove that he’s still the best by fighting someone worth fighting.

How many punches did he take? Lesner was on top of him punching him after he had just been in that position and dummy Mazagati stood them up. Same difference, both in a bad spot in the ground

We need a poll system here. I would bet 70% of people would pick Brock over Fedor, especially after seeing how well Rodgers fared on the ground.

“Fedor over any UFC HW….any day of the week.”

Then why is he ducking the UFC?

He’s ducking Dana…not Brock.

He’s afraid of fighting Dana?
