I had that same feeling with him vs. Sylvia... I gave up being concerned. I just know he will tear up anyone 8 out of 10 fights, so even if sometime someone does catch him (Rogers does have a chance), there will be a brutal revenge match in his favor.

Thats the main reason everyone gets laid out by Fedor. Showing him too much respect and giving him a chance to form a strat is not the way to go. Brett should rush him like a dog and force him to make a mistake.

I will bet you anything Brett is gonna take it to him and if Fedor stands with him hes going to sleep. Ofcourse that wont happen though. Everyone knows Fedor is going to take it to the ground like he does against most of his opponents.

If this fight stays standing Fedor is in trouble.

Side Note:
I hope Brett knocks his head off.

Damn...both Aoki and Henderson in the house during the weigh-ins. Can't wait to see who all shows up at the fight tomorrow night!

I'm kicking myself for not getting tickets to this and making the 5 hour drive to see it live.

King Mo suggests a Manhoef/Scott Smith fight. That'd be an epic fight.

Good Lord

I got to meet Fedor. Wish I took a pic


I get intimidated by NO man but damn. That guy is THE man for a reason. Shaking the hand of a man that could maul u for sport is some shyt





Brett needs Fedor to make a monumental error tomorrow

When Brett fought AA, Brett rushed forward and missed his first 6 punches, 6 PUNCHES and then landed on the 7th to KO AA. Do you think Fedor would allow Rogers to mount any offense after 6 missed punches?

Rushing Fedor is the quickest way to get picked up and dumped on your back. AA had the best strategy yet IMO, but you have to be that good of a striker technically to time it that well. I don't think Rogers is anything but a big powerful dude. This will wind up with Rogers tapping pretty quickly.

Watch it again... the second punch does connect. It starts the whole sequence

Man, AA needs a rematch. That would clear his head I think. I just don't think he was expecting anything other than a feeling out stage. Big mistake.

IMO Fedor is better in every aspect, I dont agree with Roaddawg that fedor will sleep if he keeps it standing, fedor has a great stand up and extremely powerful punches.

Brett Rogers is underestimating Fedor, that is a big big mistake and I think tomorrow he will pay for it.

PD: About the Arlovksy/Rogers fight, Rogers maybe landed the second shot, but I dont think it did any damage to Andrei, it was the 6th and 7th punches when Rogers KOd Arlovsky, the other 5 he or missed or barely touched Arlovksy
