By the way, I hear that was a lucky punch. Fedor makes a habit of throwing punches, hoping that one will connect.

Yeah Jono? You should ask Tim Silvia about that too........

Fedor by ground and pound in round 1.

I'm amazed at how much smack Tap Out wearing kids talk about Fedor. I'm lucky enough to train Strongman with a guy who has been training BJJ for a decade, so I've been watching Fedor fights for years. The guy is something else.

I'm calling an arm bar in 1st round, possibly a RNC. I'd love to see him knock Rogers out thou.

BJJ is awesome! The cardio is amazing! I have been training the last few months every sunday for my cardio while doing strongman.

I have a feeling it's going to be something like this..

Although I'm not as into MMA as I used to be, I have seen every professional fight of fedor's and a number of combat sambo matches as well. As was already noted, Rogers does have a puncher's chance (as anyone stepping into the cage will have).

Still, until fedor actually loses a fight (his 1 loss coming by a TKO-cut in the opening seconds of a match) I will never bet/predict against him, he's just too good. In 2005, he and Mirko CroCop were the top two ranked heavyweights in MMA, they fought in August of 2005 (Pride; a much better CroCop at that time then the current form we have seen in the UFC over the last two years). CroCop was able to hang to with Fedor; however, Fedor clearly won the decision.

I guess my point is that if CroCop in 2005, who was arguably the best stand-up striker in MMA at that point, could not even push Fedor to the limit, I highly doubt Brett Rogers is going to accomplish that feat.

I don't see this going past round 1. Fedor by sub or KO.

Yes John you're a 100% correct. I don't see this either going past round 1. What about shields and miller? Any prediction?

It'll be a repeat of Fedor vs Sylvia, but with an armbar instead of a choke.

[John Schuna]

Well I was wrong about the fight ending in the first round

To be honest, Rogers did much better than I thought. When he cut fedor with the early jab, I was a little worried that the fight was going to end TKO-cut. Then when he was able to tee-off while in Fedor's guard I realized that Rogers does have some talent.

However, we see that Rogers was no match for the big right-hand that fedor threw Once again, just when you think Fedor may be in trouble he comes back with a quick finish to the fight!
