DALLAS (November 4, 2009) -- HDNet's "Inside MMA" will provide LIVE, exclusive coverage of the weigh-ins for "STRIKEFORCE: Fedor vs. Rogers," Friday, November 6at 6:00 pm ET.

The special 90-minute edition of "Inside MMA" will provide a first look at the undisputed #1 heavyweight in the world -- Fedor Emelianenko, as he hits the scale the night before his network television debut on CBS.

In addition to Fedor, many of the top mixed martial artists in the world including Brett Rogers, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Jake Shields, and Gegard Mousasi will step onto the scale and then step into Kruck's Korner during the LIVE broadcast.

Heavyweight sensation Bobby Lashley, "King" Mo Lawal, and MMA legend Frank Shamrock are expected to join Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten to break down the card and to witness the excitement of weigh-in Friday.

"Friday weigh-ins are closely watched by MMA insiders because they often reveal who is ready to fight ... and who isn't," said Andrew Simon, CEO of HDNet Fights. "Then, on Saturday's CBS broadcast, we will debut a new commercial that will drive home the message that true MMA fans have to have HDNet."

This episode of "Inside MMA" is the only place to see highlights of some of Fedor's most recent, explosive victories including Fedor v. Hong Man Choi, Fedor v. Arlovski, Fedor v. Tim Sylvia and Fedor's exhibitions with Gegard Mousasi and Shinya Aoki.

Dude, America contains more than 4% of the world! You’re forgetting that half of Mexico and SE Asia live here now and don’t answer the census. And don’t forget the Octo-mom!

HELP WANTED!

OK Maniacs, I need some info. Anybody know what happened to the PRIDE HW title between March of 2003 when Fedor won it from Nog, and Nov 2003 when Nog won the interim title in a bout with CroCop? Why were the Fujita and Goodrige fights non-title and why was an interim title created?

Fedor was injured and before that i believe he did a fight outside of Pride so they did an interim belt b/t the two top contenders Nog and Cro Cop. Then the belts were then unified at the finals of the 04 GP, well the third Fedor-Nog fight. I am fairly certain the goodridge fight was for the title and the fujita too (or a was it a superfight?).

When I said a while back that we should all boycott Fedor for not joining the UFC, that did not include not watching it for free on TV. You guys have my permission to take a peak this saturday night. Just don’t tell anyone about it that’s all. If he loses, you may even mention his name here on Mania;)

Why the hell do all the so called experts think Hong Man Choi is a name that should be brought up with real fighters? I bet there are guy better in your home town that are MMA fighters. Hong Man Choi is just a freak with little to no skill. would websites please stop bringing up Fedor’s exhibition with Gegard Mousasi. i saw this on HDNet and there is more of and exhibition on a 30 sec TUF comercial.
