Fedor takes this one. Rogers could catch him on the button and KO him, but I really don't see that happening. I would have loved to see Rogers take a few more fights than take on Fedor, but what can you do if they offer a fight against the best heavyweight.

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.

You say this same thing every time you talk about Fedor. What are you basing it on? Why in the hell could anyone with any sense or knowledge think Rogers has better standup? Common opponent...AA...Fedor's KO was just a little bit more impressive. I don't think Fedor takes a back seat to anyone on the planet when it comes to punching power. Fedor is faster and more elusive. Fedor has a granite chin and we'll know about Rogers chin tomorrow night. To say Fedor wins because guys fight scared and show too much respect is just plain stupid. Do you think AA was scared? Cro Cop? Not only wasn't Cro Cop scared, he was at an all time high (probably roids included). Mirko's striking at that time was on a level many times greater than Rogers. Do you honestly think Nog was ever scared of Fedor? Laughable! Randleman? Herring? Hunt? Coleman? Lindland? Goodridge? Fujita? Schilt? Arona? Babalu? Where in the hell are the scared fighters showing too much respect? So you realize how many champions he's fought? These guys all believed they could go in and fight their style and win. There's a level of respect for your opponent in every fight, but that is not why Fedor is winning. Your logic that if Rogers just goes wild and goes after Fedor he'll win is lacking any kind of rational thought and makes you look like you only watch MMA for the KO's. Now I don't believe that, but that's how you look with statements like that. You're way too caught up in a combination of Fedor hate, White hate, Rogers hoopla and the desire for Fedor to be beat by a Black fighter. You didn't need the side note stating that you hope Rogers takes his head off...everyone on this site knew that! Rogers can certainly win, but it will be with a fortunate shot thrown with intent. He won't out strike Fedor, he won't out grapple Fedor and he won't be the one attempting numerous submission attempts. He is big, fast and strong and that's a reason enough to be dangerous, combine that with the fact that he also won't be scared and show too much respect and he has a shot. Not much of one unless Fedor finally got old. At his age that switch will come on quickly and without notice, but he isn't currently showing signs of it. I really would like an answer as how you see Rogers out striking Fedor. Moreover, how you see him connecting when far better strikers haven't been able to.
