Ukrainian
Emperor!!

ha ha ha Ukraine !!

fedor is just way to good for rogers to handle. rogers gots ko power that could end a fight like that! that go's for fedor 2! i have not seen rogers on the ground in eny of his fight's which lead's me to believe that one he don't want eny part of a fight on the ground and two he relies on his ko power cuz he's got no ground game. fedor is dangerous in stand up and on the ground! if it stays up it could go ether way but if it go's down it is a one sided fight. rogers will go down and fill the pound of fedor or rear naked choke of fedor! this will be a easy fight for fedor as long as he keep's out of the way of rogers hands.

wonder what fedor's entrance is gonna be? his pride or affliction entrance? or a new one? i personally would love to see the pride entrance OR would be cool if fedor saved his pride entrance for when he goes to the ufc to truly unify the hw belt. i would go fucking crazy if he wears the pride belt on his walk to the ufc octagon

Pride entrance aside, I can't wait for the cameras to pan to Fedor's deadpan face where he's bored and about to fall asleep and Rogers will be sweating his mohawk off bouncing up and down ready to get ruined in record fashion. It will be anticlimatic yet historic at the same time.

rogers is sloooooooooow. i just rewatched his second to last fight with humphrey and my god rogers is slooooooooooooooow. add into the fact that rogers is going to have to keep his distance from fedor, means fedor will see his shit coming a mile away. rogers is gonna have to pull more tricks outta his bag than just fakin with the left to throw the right to beat a tactician like fedor

Just in case some of you have not watched this will explain how the fight will go...

As crazy as it sounds....this fight actually scares me a little.....Rogers has big time KO power.....and Fedor is renowned for beating his opponents at their own game.....

Fedor needs to not try that this time.....he needs to just take it to the ground and get the easy finish.....I hope he does.....I would hate to see a relatively weaker fighter beat him because he wasnt willing to exploit his opponent's weaknesses

The guy has 32 or 33? fights under his belt. Why do you think Fedor is at all going to fail??? Come on. Rogers is slow. Seriously - how is this fight any different than the fight with Gary Goodridge? Goodridge is ten times the skill of Rogers and cowered like a fetus looking for its placenta on the floor.

The only time I can think of that Fedor made a mistake initially standing with an opponent was Fujita and perhaps Cro Cop, and then he quickly took it to the ground. Hong Man Choi was simply too big to take down properly. Hong Man Choi also dwarfed Fedor by a whole foot and he's got the densest bones in the fighting sport.

Fedor is so dynamic and natural in the ring. The only thing different this time is the cage. I guess that could be one's argument against Fedor this time, for once. They are in fact still fighting in a cage right?

Fedor 2nd round armbar or choke this comes on showtime right?

Rogers will do the same thing the other 33 guys did. From what ive watched I dont think anyone can beat Fedor yet. You stand up he knocks you down. You grapple he breaks your arm. Almost seems like if you shot him he would spit the bullets back.

> "ready to get ruined in
record fashion"!!! I second that motion.
You ever think that maybe
the "heavies" in the UFC are
truly GLAD Fedor hasn't joined?
When you sign to fight this guy?
The stuff that must run through
your mind?
Like "Am I gonna be one of those
highlight KO's"?
Oh man please.
Fedor is a natural alright.
The kind of guy, who just
knows how to fight instinctively.
We had a few in our area in
Long Islamd NY.
One guy, beat so many of
the supposed street "Kings" and
in cruel fashion, that he finally
got teamed by 5 guys, that
jumped on his legs over the curbstones.
He got castes and kept partying.
Another, like Fedor, real quiet,
beat up the guy who was supposed
to be the "King" so bad he climbed
under a car to get away.
Fedor is like the greatest natural
ever. Honest, do you see many others
who are as spontaneous as Fedor?
(meaning he reacts without pause)
See Fedor NEVER gets caught up
in "watching" the other guy fight, and
then just reacting. He initiates. A REAL
self starter .
Fedor has that "I'm bored look"
pre fight.
But his brother does it even better.
In fact Alexanders hair looks
like he just got up from a nap, and
forgot to comb it b4 the fight. Hey
when you think about it, why "coiffe"
before a fight!!
His fight with JThompson, was the
best example of the "Emilianenko"
face. Thompson, is gyrating, making
a big storm, Alexanders is just there.
Thompson RACEs across to Alex
to be rightly KO'd
Damn there is so much to be learned
from these brothers, that goes untouched!

Fedor could lose this one!!!

hopefully Rogers by murder (or flying armbar)

Ohhhhh big scary fat black guy...jesus...ok....Russia is a MUCH tougher place than the US will ever be & most other country's for that matter....I dont give a fuck who or where Rogers is from ...I'd pick the bad ass Russian any day especially if that man is Fedor Emelianenko....really wtf...we as americans(not all of us thank the fucking lord!) think guys like Kimbo Slice are OMG THE BADDEST MOTHERFUCKERS ALIVE!!!! yeah ok...please...then we have his buddy "Level" fighting lesser opponents with the same OMG THIS IS THE BADDEST DUDE EVER! bullshit....When have you EVER seen a vid of kimbo or level in a street fight & said...this is gonna be a good one!...never.....

My point is...its not always "the big black guy" that is gonna win or that is the better fighter...it may be a fucking LEGEND whitey from Russia

My predict? Rogers wings a bunch of slow ass punches...Fedor dodges & slips 99% of them...Rogers gets tired...Fedor gets stronger...Rogers gases...Fedor either smashes his fucking face or win by submission.....

I agree i am sick of the hype over Kimbo slice. Look at Tuf 10 Roy had him on the ground and kimbo layed there not even tring to get up what a joke. And look what Cro Cop did to big old Bob Sapp.

fedor by way of KO in round one
