King Fedor still rule the MMA empire. Can’t wait what Dana White have to say.
Fedor, KING OF MMA
everything else are just words…
Exactly what Lesnar would do: put up a good fight until he gets tagged with a right hook and is put to sleep!!!
Fedor is unstoppable. Just proved Size doesnt matter. Lesner will retire after watching this.
ONLY person who MIGHT have a chance of beating Fedor is Jesus, no one else.
destroyed.
I thought did alright. Those few short seconds where he was ground and pounding Fedor were awesome. The crowd blew up! Yes, I was there. I never thought I’d get a chance in my life to see Fedor fight. EPIC!
Fedor was losing that fight. So glad to see him up against the fence with nowhere to go. He’s lucky Rogers gassed punching him in the face. “Puncher’s Chance” saves Fedor.
Fedor is unbeatable !!!
Great fight. Seems like Rogers could use another beat down to keep his big’ol soup coolers from flappin…show just a touch of class and a little respect to the man who knocked you silly and just shut the f#@k up already.
another victim … lol
FEDOR IS THE MAN
no one can beat fedor period. i bet rogers will beat everone in the ufc
MrLoco are you drunk? besides the 10 second burst when rogers was GnP Fedor, what did he do? fedor dropped him in the first round and put him to sleep in the second.
Fedor is JESUS
Mr. Loco, you live up to your name… Punchers chance 30 times or so has saved him….
I’m loving Strikeforce! Dana must be shaking in his sleep tonight. They just signed Dan Henderson and if they can get a few more big names as well. The UFC will have a good opponent. Fedor is the king, still want to see the Brock vs. Fedor superfight though. Fedor has weaknesses but just can’t be hurt, it’s amazing to watch!
Watch the entire crowd jump to their feet. I’ve never seen anything like that, not even in the UFC when Joe and Goldie say a crowd is on its feet, most are usually still seated. Freaking great knockout!
Rogers did great, but as we always know it only takes one mistake and Fedor will crush you. Great fight, great event, props to Rogers.
@MrLoco: yes, that was what saved the greatest fighter on the planet… a ‘puncher’s chance…’ :massive sarcasm smiley:
Rogers did very well in the fight, and has given him alot of credibility in my eyes, more then all his previous victories, certainly. Fedor… well… ’nuff said.
Is it just me or did the fight get stopped too early? I am a huge Fedor fan but I think Brett did a great job. After Brett went down, I would have liked to see more action before stopping the fight, although by all appearances Brett did not object to the stoppage. Fedor reigns once more.
What’s so great about Fedor is that in each fight you get to see he’s human. He gets hurt, he loses, but yet, he always wins. If he has a puncher’s chance, then consistent luck must be a great skill to have.
Fedor is a bleeder. I bet he has a broken nose and broken hand. We won’t see him fight for at least six months. Rumor has it that Werdum is next. So maybe a year before he fights a top ten guy.
Fedor is tha MAN! … but I give credit to Rogers… he was doing a great battle too.
Fedor VS Lesnar is wath the world mma fans DEMAND! Dana white… Make it Happen please!
good work fedor when you grow some balls give the ufc a call
(qualifier: grow the balls for fire your gay management side, i dont mean you are scared of any fighters)
for one second there i thought fedor was gonna lose
OHH I Forgot to say…. I LOVE MMATKO.COM and thank you Bruno for all that you do !!!
Bruno: No Prob. It’s time for me to go to bed now. 7:30 am over here in D-land.
Fedor is an enigma. Against top level opponents he often gets pummeled and doesnt seem to have the upper hand throughout the fight. On the other hand, he is consistently able to pull clutch moves at just the right time to get the win. It cant just be luck, I havent seen him lose a fight since i started watching him in 2002.
hate to break it to you fedor lovers – he was losing that fight. Thats twice now with the AA fight, its only a matter of time until he doesnt catch someome with a big shot and loses the decision.
Never, ever let your guard down with that man!
that punch was like a guided missle….nothing lucky about it
all i have to say, is, that i watched the fight from my house, and yes, fedor won, but brett lost, and i think that, if brett would’ve won that fight, fedor would’ve lost it and his record would’ve changed, but now brett’s record change with the loss, and well, fedor now has one more win so his record actually did change too if you think about it. when the referee stoped the fight, i thought, damn, the fight is over! and it was probably cause of the way it ended, you know? the fight was alright. so yea, i’m sure if they fight again one of them will win, by KO or submission, who knows, that’s the way mma rolls.
i guess its back to sam’s. what a uckin soar loser. there is no excuse when u get ko’ed
Fedor is starting to look more human with every fight. I’m so glad Rogers didnt take this fight…
Sorry Swiftman but Fedor was not losing that fight. He actually won the first round(it was close but he did just enough to take it) Brett’s only real scoring was landing the jab and the flurry when Fedor was on his back. About 4 punches total. Which leaves the second and we know what happens then.
I’ve never seen anything like Brock. However, Brock has never seen anything like fedor. Brock wins 3 out of 10 times. Fedor wins 7 out of ten times. Fedor, Brock, and the slider are at the top of the food chain. Thanks.
“Left chin to the right cross!” Leading with your chin, with your hands down, against one of the most dangerous strikers in the world….GENIUS!
Fedor was still there in Round 2, Rogers was tired, both hands down, BLAM! The legend grows…
not slider. I mean spider. (sorry)
Fedor was swinging for the fences from the start. Props to Rogers. Agree with swiftman, Fedor was losing and his homerun hands saved him again. I do miss Fedor sticking his head or leg from the bottom rope though. But enjoyed watching him pinned up against the fence.
I have read some comments about Rogers winning until that point… HAHAHAHA Are you guys serious??? Fedor won first round and was winning the second with more punches landed! Only thing was the bleeding. Guys, Please
Rogers got a little bit too comfortable and too close to fedor…hell.. that punch was loud!!!!WAR FEDOR WAR…Rogers.. you gotta put your hands up man..
Once again the cream rises.
THX for the post.
Whoever thinks Rogers was winning that fight must be blind. First round was pretty close but tipped for Fedor with takedowns, power shots, and submission attempts. Rogers had hit with a jab and had the GND flurry. The second round was all Fedor.
But let’s not forget just because Fedor beat Rogers doesn’t make a huge impact on his credentials. I still think Lesnar could cause problems for Fedor.
And this fight had some scary moments for Fedor too. :/
Swiftman, I love how u try to cling on to the small fact that there was a time in the fight that he was losing. Yeah, right up until he won. Stop reaching. You strike me as the kind of guy years from now that goes, “see I told u he would lose.” Ur a moron!
Fedor is like truck running on freeway with failed brakes..The cut in 1st round least bothered him (as usual)..His lethal striking power and concentration/acuracy is what people don;t understand..His strategy always been full force in 1st round and finish game early …Brett was for 1st time looking ‘grim’…He signed his sucide note by taking rematch..This match should be eyeopener for Dana and his balls like Lesner Dude …storm is waiting for you guys…betta make a dana deal..
I’m curious how Dana is going to approach this, will he spin, ignore or acknowladge?
Strikeforce put on a great card and solid presentation IMHO.
Not up to par with the professionalism and polish the UFC has but it WAS free and so far the best competition any org has put up agains the UFC (excluding PRIDE FC………RIP).
Fedor still owns the HW world.
i think Fedor is a alien… and that blood in his face was a plot to fool the human race to tell us there superior ..
Bruno: you the man after Fedor
Fedor always will be best fighter…for me:)
Fedor was sloppy again and he fought an even more sloppy Rogers. Doesn’t help when Rogers drops his hands and eats it! Fedor can not survive Brock’s speed and power!
his luck will run out , 2x in a row, highly doubt 3x in a row will happen statistically
rogers gave him a good fight no doubt. was pretty surprised that rogers wasn’t too humble at the interview. he should be proud of what he accomplished doing as much damage as he did on fedor. guess he’s still in shock from tasting his first defeat.
that hit sounded like a bat connecting with a hardball!! To the people that say he was loosing, study up on his fights and you will notice that he always comes from behind. Look at the Arlovski fight to start and learn to stfu….respect the cyborg emperor.
I don’t know how anyone can question Rogers abilities or Fedor’s greatness after seeing this fight?
Rogers breaks Fedor’s nose with a jab, lands 3 or 4 bombs flush on Fedor’s chin while he’s on his back and still ends up getting ko’d.
Fedor showed once again that he’s a stone cold killer that just analyzes constantly, never gets excited and always finds a way to put his opponent away.
At this point there seems to be no answer for Fedor, it doesn’t matter how big or strong the opponent he’ll figure him out.
I love watching him fight, it’s a privilege to see a virtuoso at work.
Well, Fedor is excellent but he can be beaten. After all he is human. Now, the extraordinary part is the size discrepancy between those two fighters and the way Fedor throws that mammoth like rag doll. Fedor is super strong! I think Rogers have a shot if there is a rematch; nevertheless I would be heartbreaking to see Fedor loose to such a mediocre athlete. IMO classy guy guys like Fedor, Hendo, Machida, Couture and Shogun belong in the podium. Guys like Rogers and Lesnar belong somewhere else, they are just too bad mannered.
I thought Brett was doing a very good job hanging in there with the likes of Fedor but, I saw that Brett kept his left hand low and Fedor just blasted him. I felt it was stopped a tad bit early but, job well done FEDOR. Who can actually stop this guy— Lesnar please, not gonna happen.
how does that song goes again?….oh yeah!
“another one bites the dust”!
haha
Q: When are UFC Heavyweight fights this exciting?
A: Never.
Fedor even had twin Jesus come out and congratulate him after the fight!! Brock, head over to Strikeforce and catch a horse shoe up your ass!!
mrloco, you’re stupid, when fedor is getting punched in the face, he’s pulling an armbar!!! fedor rules!!!!
potzblitz, fascht hetti en herzinfarkt übercho wo dä fedor am bode gläge isch und dä rogers uf in inäbrätscht het..aber dä fedor isch glaubich mit em tüfel und äm jesus im bund…heilandsacknonemol
lmao, some of u fedor haters are idiots.. puncher chances.. dude any one can be knocked out but the question is can you knock fedor out… no shit he can get hurt.. u guys think hes god so when he gets hit or in trouble u think hes gonna lose.. well but he ends up winning all the time… just all the time.. keep hating but fedor would just get u haters more mad each fight… ufc lovers… ufc is just about money fedor doesnt need the money.. if anyone if ufc wants to fight fedor and not for the money… GO SIGN A FUCKING CONTRACt wiTH STRIKEFOrcE and make it happen.. go to strike force and fight fedor.. get ur ass out of the ufc and fight the best fighter in the world.. why the fuck would the best need to go around to prove hes the best when hes already done so times and times again… anyone claim that they are the best hw in the ufc should GO AND find a deal to fight fedor NOT THE OTHER WAY around u fucking noobs
My god nothing but Fedor lovers! Did I see the same fight everyone else did? Fedor fought a man that was fat and gased out in the very first round. What a real challenge that was for Fedor. Strike force has washed up UFC fighters or Fat fighters that are not even close to well rounded MMA fighters, that should be fighting in Combat USA. What a joke! I want to see Fedor fight someone that actually has at least 2 things good in his game. Not these one sided fighters or washed up glass chinned guys that couldn’t make it in the UFC anymore.
nice fight. one more win for fedor.
bret is a pretty tough guy. i think he will do will in the ufc.
mr.bret need to learn some humility though…after you lose at least congratulate the person that just hit you with a baseball bat ..not be like try to find excuses.
Rogers is really a threat to ANYONE. So any who knocks Fedor for not destroying him, or Rogers for getting KO’d by the top ranked HW in the world are just being ridiculous.
Good fight!
WOW!
all the fedor dick jokeys riding hard tonight.
really, if fedor is the best fighter in the world, I think Rogers deserves a little respect.
The man went out and put on a hell of a showing
i think Rogers is a beast and i cant wait for his next fight
Swiftman, Fedor won the first round clearly, blood on the face does not mean he losses the round. Yup, Fedor may loss someday but I will put my money on every fight he will make. Thanks Bruno, your the best!!!
All the ufc lovers and brock lovers will still say Fedor is not the best heavyweight in the world because he hasn’t come to the ufc. Even if Fedor never goes to the Ufc he will always stand alone. he is the total package.He can throw the hands and can sub anyone. His transitions are sick and even after he’s been in danger he always comes out on top. And you cannot find a classier,humble fighter than Fedor. He is a picture of a true warrior and representative of MMA.Never talks smack just lets his skills do the talking.And than there’s Brock arrogant,smug prideful bastard who disrespects what Martial arts is all about. Honor and integrity.I still think Fedor would dismantle anyone you put him in there with. And it also seems like the cage had no effect on his performance. Amazing job Fedor.
And thank you so much Bruno for all you do for us . This is hands down best MMA website bar none
really Fedor VS Jesus you guy are nuts fedor is not that good he just fights bums!
DANKE BRUNO…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brett takes his first lost against the best fighter all time. he looks good, was powerfull and doesn´t get submite like all the people said. if he goes back to the gim, trains on his technique….then he could beat everyone….one exception: “fedor”!
for all who say that brock would beat fedor….maybe it would happend, but it doesn´t changed anything…..fedor is the best fighter all time!!!….there will come a time when he loose a fight because a lot of young fighters with great skills are hungry to be the next fedor…..it´s like cesar….the next brutus stands behind fedor and wants to be the next imperator.
FEDOR…wow!
fedor is legend… roger bad sport in post fight interview.. all hail the emperor…..!!!
Props to brett rogers, he did well, and did what most mma fighters will never do, but fedor is the terminator of mma, jhon conner has nothing on fedor..but id like to see him fight in the ufc though!
AND BRUNO!! THANKS HOMIE, MUCH RESPECT FOR POSTING THESE FIGHTS SO QUICK..MMATKO IS THE SHIT!!..THANKS AGAIN BRUNO!
Bruno: thanks for visit.
MrLoco what fight were u watching? sigh…. silly goose… well i guess brett rogers better start applying at costco! stick to changing tires u bitch!
Fedor love here is deserved, but i’m impressed with ROgers I mean he did just fight frickin FEDOR people, but he did a good job, Brett is definitely a top ten heavyweight I give him more props even after losing, Brett would crush some UFC fighters
MrLoco estas loco , no tienes ni idea de lo que hablas…
LOL at any idiot saying Fedor lost the first round??
Rogers got 1 jab in that hit his lifetime worth of nose tissue which opens up easy and bleeds /twirl and a 5 second flurry from the guard which most didnt land or blocked but 2 or 3 punches.. watch it again fools.
In that same round Fedor almost KO’ed him.. threw him to the ground.. was in side control with some pounding, close to a Kimura and very close to two arm triangels.. and you idiots think he lost becaues he was bleeding right? Go back to watching WWF morons.
In real fighitng people get hit and bleed however that means nothing, let alone durring the flurry Fedor would of had an armbar easy if not in that cage ~
Rogers did better than I expected but only because of his size, hes a huge man with speed and power, he would give anyone a tough fight, however that was not a tough fight for Fedor aside from 1 jab that caught his nose so GTFO ~
so stupid
on the taleofthetape
it says fedor: sambo,judo
gives the wrong impression that he cant strike wtf?
What I love is people still debate whos PfP the best in the world, LOOK at the size different of the opponents Fedor fights, the man fights men so much bigger its not even funny ( unlike most of the other guys that fight in people there same size) and STILL dominates them, anyone else aside from another small HW thats been as dominate as Fedor shouldnt even been considered next to this man peroid, anytime douts how good Fedor is just look at the size of the men he as fought and won ever time ~
chuck norris would round-house kick fedor to death…. but apart from that, fedor is indestructable.
Bring on the haters…oh he looked human…Rogers was punishing him…he was losing that fight…he got lucky…
What makes Fedor different from other fighters is that he always looks human and seems like he may lose but ALWAYS wins…Rogers did hit him and hurt him(for anyone who thinks otherwise you are in denial) Fedor was hurt on the ground but he is a master strategist and saw an opening to escape and tried for the armbar…which if he was in a ring and had more room to move he may have actually pulled off…as he switched for the armbar he was stuck between the cage and Rogers whereas in a ring he would have been able to maneuver through the ropes…Fedor won the first round – multiple sub attempts, better striking, takedowns, escape from Roger’s dominant position, he was the aggressor, he hurt Rogers a couple times in the round, other than the 6 seconds of GnP that Rogers did Fedor had won that round…he mentioned it in post fight interview “i saw weakness in his footwork and took advantage” he timed it just like he timed AA…anyone who keeps saying oh Fedor is beatable…SOMEONE BEAT HIM THEN I WILL BELIEVE IT!!! Oh btw I said Fedor will win by sub
fail…lol
I LOVE MMATKO gotta love it…great work bruno…
FEDOR “LAST EMPEROR” EMILIANENKO RULER OF ALL MMA
I also told everyone it was a dangerous matchup for him…Rogers and his heavy hands…anyone who thinks Rogers is a nobody i think although sluggish and sloppy this performance has to make him bounce up a bit…more training and he could be very very dangerous…but Fedor prevails yet again…
rogers was super gased
fedor looked tired too but its not surprising given that he was clinching up with a giant
nevertheless he was going to win anyway
rogers wouldve gased and fedor would got a kimura or armbar later
great KO, but that was not a good win for fedor.
he looked helpless against the cage and was having trouble dealing with rogers’ strength. and as a fedor fan i hate to say this but if the same fedor that showed up in this fight fights lesnar, he’ll probably lose to lesnar’s belly-lay.
Your an absolute retard if you thought Fedor won by luck. Some people just don’t know there ass from there elbow.
Holy shiiiiiit that arena was PACKED, what an electrifying atmosphere. AWESOME!
I agree that Fedor had both rounds and I think that cut on the nose might have been a freshly healed cut from before the fight. People need to give credit where credit is due. Even though Rogers did better than I expected, Fedor did what we all expected. I think the blood made people think that Rogers was doing better than he really was.
Fedor is amazing. Even with a broken nose, without been able to breath propertly he takes Rogers to the ground, tries submissions, punches him and wins the fight. He is the true legend.
No way Fedor is not the best fighter in MMA, he has shown it many times.
Fedor is a dominating fighter in the sense that he wins every fight, but he always does take a few blows before winning. This is typical Fedor. He’s not like an Anderson Silva who doesn’t get touched because he has reach advantage and same weight, etc. People who talk shit about him don’t know how hard it is to fight someone who is much bigger. It’s really tiring. Good job Fedor, still king and my pick for p4p.
I hate russians. Fuckin hate em. (personal reasons). Actually, I hate HUMANS. But anyway….Fedor IS the man. Hate all you want, but he keeps steamrolling dudes. Yeah, he does need to fight Randy, Brock, hey…maybe even Liddell at a catchwatch. But he is still winning.
And that KO punch was a HIP PUNCH. NOT a winding BARN DOOR. That was a goddamn STRAIGHT RIGHT that put a 6′ 4″ 260 pound man ON HIS ASS.
It’s not luck. It’s called PUNCHING FROM THE WAIST. And if you can knock out a very large man by punching from the waist and not even twisting your hips, that is VERY impressive.
Sorry, I was ROOTING for the American, but my money was on the Russian. Fedor is KING. I hate to admit it. And I hope Dana White stops his faggotry and lets these big fights happens. I personally think Brock Lesnar could manhandle Fedor, but his experience is far less than his SIZE and POWER.
I know to beat Fedor. I personally cant do it, obviously, but I know how someone could beat him. Combinations. Brett threw a JAB from his WAIST, and bloodied up Fedor. But he didnt bunch his punches up. If brett threw a RIGHT UPPERCUT after that stiff straight jab, he could have put Fedor into orbit. But….ofcourse…..he didnt throw uppercut. It was open, and even I admit if it was thrown, Fedor would still be sittin’ on queer street, spittin’ out chiclets.
Sorry Rogers, a jab alone wont stop THE TERMINATOR> But a right uppertcut following it might have served you much better.
Oh well, shoulda, woulda……coulda…
Not impressed.
Rogers unfortunatly ran out of gas, he got excited with the big hands landing on fedors face and blew his wad so to say, excellent fight Rogers, he learned alot and most of all gained alot of ring respect, look out for Brett ‘Buck’ Rogers, hed beat both Werdum and Bigfoot Silva, Fedor knows how weak Strikeforce is and still is always going to duck and dodge real competition in UFC period. Velasquez would take out Fedor, Kongo would take out Fedor, Carwin would take out Fedor and certainly Brock would ruin Fedor and take his make believe homemade belt him and bigjohn made up, Fedor is still a joker.
fedor isn’t falling over he is completing a take down after the ko punch – much like he did in the 3rd nog fight
Why do people place this BS on Dana White? Love him or hate him, it is Fedor’s camp that is out of touch on the UFC deal. Seriously? Would you give up your company for one fighter? I think the UFC is doing well without giving up half of their company. If Dana did that, that would be the dumbest business move ever.
M1-Global has “co-promoted” on the backs of a few organizations. They got Fedor and they WENT BUST! Strikeforce did a good job getting CBS to foot the bill. If they can do that, they can survive. At this point, Stikeforce will have to bring in laods of UFC fighters (not released past UFC fighters) to have some depth. If Henderson signs so be it. He will probaly be the champ in strikeforce – but he couldn’t in the UFC.
Lesnar / Fedor – Fedor is Awesome. Brock is a monster. The gameplan is simple – The bigger man would take it to the ground. If Lesnar can hold hdown, it’s over. There wouldn’t be any stand up. Fedor is one elusive son of a $%@$#@. His could submit Lesnar. We will probably never know. The only time this would happen is when both fighters will be past their prime. If you are going to blame anyone – Blame it on the right people – Fedor and M1 (remember – M1 is a paper organization – it needs other people’s money to make it work and Fedor is part owner of M1). Fedor only wants to fight in the UFC if he can become part owner of the UFC. Would you do that if you owned the UFC? Hello NO!
Fedor vs brock and GSP vs anderson Silva are the two dream fights left!!!!!!!!
For all those people that are just wating to see Fedor´s first lose to say that he is not the best, he is overrated, he can not win the best, bla-bla-bla: I am sorry but you will have to wait…again. Sorry Dana, may i ask you a question?…Do you still think Fedor is overrated. You should eat your massive ego and accept who is the best HW fighter ever.
Another stellar victory in another of MMA’s minor league circuits. …rogers, LOL
good first round, could have gone either way. fedor dropped him and had a sub attempt. rogers landed a straight and some heavy gnp blows from top but the fact that fedor dropped him and had more energy at the end of the round i gave it to him
but all this doesnt really matter because rogers was koed in the second, to be honest i thought rogers had a chance . . . . a punchers chance! anybody who has watched fedor and roger’s previous fights should know fedor is all around better fighter. so rogers is the one with a punchers chance
Respect for Rogers (not for his post fight behaviour though), he put up a good fight against FEDOR and went to the 2nd.
But Fedor still won the 1st and was going to win the 2nd, he’s a f***** machine and always so calm.
Im a huge fan, still I thought when Rogers can power through a Kimura and an armbar attempt of Fedor (OK, he didn’t really get them in (which shows, that Rogers at least has some decent defense on the ground)), then Brock really could pose a problem for Fedor. Because he is a way stronger athlete than Rogers.
That being said doesn’t mean that the Last Emperor wouldn’t knock his ugly Vanilla Gorilla head straight out of the octagon…
i’d like to see Brock Lesnar get 1 punch KO by Fedor!!! he’s really good!!! fighting those giants!!!
While I would love to see a Fedor vs Lesnar fight, I really don’t think Fedor has anything to prove. I don’t think he should at all feel obligated to join the UFC. The guy has a 31 and 1 record. You could argue that his competition of late has been pretty weak, but he’s fought some pretty tough fighters in his past, and he’s won. Fedor isn’t on a 5 or 10 match win streak, he’s been winning his ENTIRE career. Lesnar’s fought what? 4 fights? Against a pretty damn weak heavyweight division, remember… yes he steam rolled Mir last fight, but what did he do that was so impressive his first 3 fights? Lesnar is only going to get better the more he trains, but you still can’t compare the two. Eventually Fedor will probably lose, and then the UFC will claim he was never that good anyway, but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone else that’s dominated this sport the way Fedor has.
that’s what’s going to happen to brock
I dont no why these Fedor haters says that Fedor was loseing he was winning the whole fight. Fedor kicked Rogers butt DEAL WITH IT!!
Fedor hesistated at 7.05 he could have ended the fight right there with a kick to rogers head but being the good sportsman he let Rogers get up….Fedor is without a doubt the best mma fighter out there and i have enough respect for the man.
NO matter who Fedor beats…UFC fans will say they Fedor is just lucky or he’s only fighting washed up fighters.
And if he finally fights Lesner….and beats him; UFC fanboys will say, “Fedor got lucky once again.”
Fedor, don’t give in….make Lesner and other fighters come to you. You’re the emperor, that’s how it should be.
best fight ive ever seen outside of the UFC. MMA fans need strikeforce to compete with the UFC and sorry dana and Lorenzo but primetime network TV inside the USA …..UFC be aware!
Great comentary and great crowd…UFC’s monopoly just took a hit!
FEDOR is the king
I never would have thought that the HUGE String of replies to the Shogun/Machida fight would have been topped by the string of replies to THIS fight… but it’s looking like it may be and this was a CLEAR victory!
Can I just say,… Strikeforce is doing okay. CBS, on the other hand, SUCKS. I’m so pissed at CBS for screwing up their air time, and then cutting off part of the presentation, that I may never watch another CBS show again. If they really DO think that sports is a major part of their programming, they’ll NEVER pull another suck-head play like that again. I mean, when you KNOW that a sitcom can be reaired later and you aren’t really going to miss the even versus a fight that happens ONCE – why the HELL would you do that? CBS… go suck Brett Roger’s ass.
Fedor… a little chunkier than usual… But, still the Baddest Man on the Planet. Nice knockout.
Hardkicka: He COULDN’T kick to the head due to the rules of the cage.
Great fight!
OSS!
PS.: who is brock lesnar? Com’on guys, the fake wrestling steroyds fighter is nothing.
My neighbors think i’m crazy. Yelling out the window!!!!!!!!
first and formost, thank u mmatko, bruno for giving mma fans a place. punchers chance? if u ever fought before u know damn well it ain’t easy to lay a shot like that. Fedor saw the body motion and timed it perfect. transition
from a punch to a take down was beautiful. To all the people that really know mma. i ask only one question. What heavyweight do u know that can transition and move like a middleweight? And got a punch like a heavyweight? Thats why Fedor is.
Lefthookharry, you pay attention to current MMA news like myself.
I’ve watched all of Fedor’s fights since he appeared in 2000 and it seems he has not evolved as a fighter. Given Fedor’s performance during this fight and against Andrei Arlovski further proves my claim. If you look back on all of Fedor’s fights he typically does the same old thing, granted these moves work, but eventually fighters will figure you out, which has happened to other fighters like Chuck Liddell, Big Nogueira, and Mirko “ Cro Cop” Filipović.
By the looks of Rogers’s performance it seems he studied Fedor quite well. Rogers nullified a majority of Fedor’s signature moves, the hip throw, arm bar and ground and pound while being in the guard.
I am a Fedor fan and I was shocked and appalled to see that Fedor did not dominate Rogers.
A C-classed fighter should not do well against an A-classed fighter, definitely not against the “King of MMA.” Fedor should have made Rogers look like the C-class fighter that he is. He should have dominated Rogers like GSP did against John Fitch and Thiago Alves, who are both considered to be A-classed fighters.
I believe Fedor’s days are numbered if he continues down this path of not evolving. The over hand right can only keep you on top for so long, just ask Chuck Liddell.
Yosh!!
The Emperor is a gorilla tamer next gorilla will be Brock Lesner. LOL
The greatest fighter ever wins again. The fight lasted what, 7 minutes? That pretty much is a rout in any other fight. Rogers landed a nice punch. Fedor took it and proceeded to throw around a very big guy. Lesnar has no submission skills and would lose to Fedor on the ground. P4p, Fedor is the best fighter in the history of contact sports.
Mr Loco (truly crazy!) are you smoking that new kind of crack or something?? Fedor bled, Fedor got punched as many times as you can count on one hand – all true. But when was he losing the fight?? was it during the first major exchange when FE rocked Rogers and grounded him, or when he was tossin the much larger man like a toy? or perhaps it was when he reversed and/or got up & out of anything Rogers thought about doing?? Or maybe it was when he crushed Rogers face in the second round… oh wait, that was the end of another short, albeit violent fight. A fight that seals FE’s 33rd victory in fact. You must’ve eaten paint chips & matches as a child. We definitely didn’t watch the same fight. “Punchers chance” saves FE?? my arse!!
Not sure I agree that fedor hasnt evolved. He has certainly shown different skills against different fighters. He outkickboxed cro cop (actually throwing high kicks in that fight), outwrestled coleman and other wrestlers, and made nogueira look silly on the ground. There’s just too much he can do well and on top of that he’s one tough mofo. That gnp by rogers would have knocked out most fighters
fedor is actually pretty good in a cage. he used it to bounce off and tried to a take down. i am pretty impress with that fence usage. awesome fight bloods galore for the sadist. ha
rogers is no joke. just cos fedor has been fights doesn’t mean that his fight will always be easy. to be honest with you i bet you that rogers could actually do well in the ufc.
oh. that talk of a rematch rogers and fedor? i don’t want to see it…next fight should be for the hw title. plz. thx
whoever said this:
“he looked helpless against the cage”
must not have noticed that Fedor PUSHED Brett Rogers half way across the ring from that position! wtf!?
i agree with all the reasonable people on this board: this was a great fight, and except for his post-fight comments, Brett Rogers has nothing to be ashamed of.
fedor didn’t steam roll him, but he won! and he didn’t only win, he added another knockout to his highlight reel!
Rogers was winning that fight, simple. Perhaps it was his cardio that improvement could’ve been made on. It was when he was winded, and backed up to stretch and regain air, then 6 seconds later BAMMM!
At the same time, I’m wondering if Rogers would’ve been able to defend anymore, but I understand Big John’s decision to stop the fight.
All that being said, finally Strikeforce has put something a little bigger on the radar. I LOVE the UFC, but wanna see more then a monopoly cause I love MMA. At the same time, Fedor…dude you gotta fight some sick fighters, IN THEIR PRIME! Not just a few hot shots, or fighters who just got their asses kicked in the UFC and are rebounding.
hahahaha dana white is such an idiot! strikeforce is FOR REAL! they got a video game coming out, they’re signing all the best fighters who hate dw’s stupid busines practices, and they have the best fighter in the world FEDOR!!!! no hw in the ufc come close to fedor, i mean really they try to say dat frank mir and lesnar r da best hws in the world? gimmme a fucking break! brett rodgers can beat both mir and lesnar, dana white needs to respect his fighters n start paying them well or else strikeforce will pay them the money they deserve, aint dat da truth DAN HENDERSON?!? dats why he was there in the ring supporting his friend and supporting STRIKEFORCE!!! i will pay to watch strikeforce as much as ufc all i can do now is wait n hope for dw to piss off more fighters so dey leave his wana be tuff guy ass for a real BUSINESS organization. FUCK dw and his idea of taking fighters monies and using it on gyms!
Strikeforce couldn’t have asked for a better main-event fight!It wasn’t slow-paced or boring, there was no controversy or technical difficulties of any sort. And it had everything you’d want in a fight: some stand-up striking, some ground-game, a few submission attempts, both fighters landing some great strikes, some blood, a spectacular KO, and a packed arena all jumping to their feet going crazy. They even had Big John Macarthy there to officiate. Their star fighter goes on with another spectacular win and the show was an overall success.
The fight even started after 10, which meant if there were any viewers who was watching the UFC fights on Spike! The Couture/Nog fight was over in time to switch channels in time to watch this fight in its entirety.
I’m guessing that Dana White probably isn’t too happy about the whole thing.
All I’m going to say is that Fedor is truly the P4P champ. If Anderson manages to clean out the light-heavyweight division, then he can come back up for consideration.
Fedor rubber nose Emelianenko for the win!!!!
Fedor is the great.
just another lucky punch for a TKO…..
no offend but he won’t last to anderson “the spider” silva!!!
this is to learn that no responce your mayors!!
jajajja!!!
Prediction/Prophecy: Fedor knocks out Brock Lesnar and silences Dana White in one moment.
Brett rogers is a joke , Fedor is good but the compitition is halarious.
but he should realy learn to speak english man…
Fedor is great, no question but Rogers is far from it. Rogers is a huge underdog to Gonzoga, Nog, Carwin, Lesnar, Cain maybe even Congo. It would have been a huge upset for Rogers to win but it would be if he beat anyone good. AA doesn’t count he sucks. Its too bad we can’t see Fedor against real competition. By the time it happens it may be too late for him to really do
“no one can beat fedor period. i bet rogers will beat everone in the ufc”
NICELY PUT!!!!
OK…good fight from rogers,he broke fedors nose in the very first exchange,they had a good scrap and rogers also looked very dangerous when he nailed the ground and pound,i was worried for fedor.
for brett’s first loss to be at the hands of the worlds top pro fighter is nothing to be ashamed of. that said…fedor’s sambo background has set him up for life in this game,and i predict he will retire undefeated.
honestly, i woud say that fedor was losing that fight until the KO. Emelianenko is great, but I really think that Lesnar has a chance if Rogers did. Can’t wait to see that fight.
I think Fedor thought it was Halloween and he was Barry Bonds. First four punches and four homerun swings! Very entertaining!Strong as hell. But then “The Best MMA Fighter Ever” can’t keep Rogers down so he gets pressed up against the fence for the next minute. He looked great trying to breathe through the blood and wishing he was in a ring so he could stick his head out and restart the fight.
Fedor’s punches are just big time SWINGS!!! Ten strike outs before he finally connects! Barry Bonds is also the strikeout king isn’t he? Just SWING until you connect. He is fast and strong. But then Fedor the Great short punches Rogers a couple of times and then lays on him like a fat fifth grader. Nice Kimura ATTEMPT. Good chin against Rogers fists. Nice arm bar ATTEMPT against a gassed Rogers in his 11th fight. “The Greatest”? HAHAHA!
Fedor is very entertaining, strong, and fast. Great smothering technique. I loved the great SWING and a miss at 17 seconds! That was awesome. Bonds would be proud, if only he had connected. And “The Greatest Ever” ends the round with “The Great Russian Blanket” move.
Just take a look at the names fedor has destroyed
Those who say fedor was losing. it is the stupidest thing to say. you are not “losing the fight” if you are behind in the scoring cards in the first round (arlovski fight). it isnt over untill its over. in this fight fedor won the first by damaging striking(almost dropped rogers) and got most take downs. and the second round well…i dont need to say more.
Just watched it two more times.
1. No way Rogers was winning that first Round. Fedor was in control. The GNP flurry of Rogers may have looked intimidating, but scoring-wise didn’t win him the round.
2. First time in the cage, Fedor did well. He recovered when pushed into the cage, he had no problems shoving Rogers off of him when he wanted to.
3. Wouldn’t it have been for the fence, Fedor would have snapped Rogers’ arm with that armbar.
some people here are delusional! maybe their NOT even people at all? MORONS. What could the ufc really offer Fedor? a dream fight vs Lesnar? what do you thinks gonna happen to Brock when he gets tapped on the chin?
ufc is NOT MMA!
Fedor is for sure the man! He’s tough as nails. it’s awesome how he can come back from getting belted (those GnP shots were big!) and still win well. I think Brock would cry & turtle up if someone broke his nose. On another note, I thought Rogers looked pretty good despite the lose. I mean lets not forget who he was fighting!?
Cheers for the vid Bruno, In Australia we think your bitching!
You’d think knocking the piss out of a boy would keep him from running his mouth and talking crap, never underestimate some peoples lack of any class.
As much as I hate Floyd Mayweather Jr., I have to agree with him when he said Fedor striking stinks. Even my girlfriend, who doesn’t know shit about fighting, was watching this fight with me and ask me why Fedor strikes the way he does. I told her Fedor likes throwing those loopy punches because he puts everything in to them even if they injure his hands. So what does Fedor do, ends the fight with a big loopy punch with his whole body into it and the next day they say he injured one of his hands. Do you really think Fedor can land a punch like that on A.Silva? Any of you Fedor nuthuggers that thinks he can strike with Anderson Silva are truly insane. A.Silva is one of the most accurate and less hit fighters in mma. Fedor’s only chance at winning is by subbing A.Silva. Anderson Silva is the pound for pound best right now and don’t bring up his 4 losses.
Brett Rogers did a great job, and I’m not surprised by that (just watch his previous fights, u’ll know what I mean!): that guy is an awesome freaking KO machine with a huge takedown defense! I bet he would kick most UFC top hwt fighter’s ass!
Fedor’s ability to swing down such a mass like it was a featherweight is simply extraordinary. His ability to match up the much bigger guy’s devastating boxing skills just rocks! Being able to escape to such GnP raining bombs is just exceptionnal! Landing knockout power strikes with such timing, accuracy and speed is simply outstanding!
Dana, your twink’s provocations look so pathetic next to Fedor’s talent! Like it or not, Fedor RULES mma world, he’s THE top deal, the greatest GENIUS mma has ever provided, he’d kick any UFC hwt’s ass!
Here’s my personnal P4P top 10 ranking:
#1 Fedor Emelianenko, #2 Anderson Silva, #3 GSP, #4 Shogun, #5 Machida, #6 Minotoro Big Nog, #7 Mousasi, #8 BJ Penn, #9 Miguel Torres, #10 Jon Fitch
The dispute if Fedor is really as good as his flawless record suggests will go on… for a simple reason that most people ignore: Fedor is a warrior and in most of his previous fights he was in deep trouble at some time. Think about it – he got dropped on his head, mounted, ground£ed, stunned and cut badly in his previous fights. What makes him the best HW is the fact that he endures all that punishment and keeps coming at you, like a terminator. In all of his 33 fights he wasn’t even DROPPED by a punch – altough he was at the receiving end of heavy hitters like CroCop, Fujita, Hunt and Choi.
As far as mental toughness and endurance goes, there’s nobody like Fedor at the moment. Guys like Anderson Silva or Alistair Overeeem might look impressive when things go well for them, but these guys are like a fish out of water if it doesnt. As far as Brock Lesnar goes – he still has to prove what he is made of. Just being big and strong is hardly enough to beat the Emperor.
I’m sick of punks running their mouths about the UFC. It’s just a fight promotion. Guys like Mir change their story, one time he says Fedor is the best, later he says he’s ducking the UFC fighters. It’s never been about the challenge, just the money. Otherwise, maybe those guys should go fight Fedor in Strikeforce. It shouldn’t matter which league it is, right? If Lesnar wants him so bad, he should go to Fedor, assuming illness doesn’t screw him up permanently before then.
Good point. Why DON’T those guys come to him?
Wow Fedor took a beating in this fight, would like to see that punch slowed down looked like he just clipped him and the knee in the back out the head from big John priceless.
I think Lesnar would beat Fedor after seeing the trouble he had fighting Rogers.
i’m sure there are ufc fighters that would go and fight fedor at strikeforce, but i’m pretty sure they’ve all signed contracts that don’t allow them to do that.
Hey Machete, you are a douchebag. Fedor throws a traditional Sambo punch. The reason for his “loopy” punch is so if he misses, he can quickly grab his opponent and take them to the ground. A. Silva is the best “boxer” because he has been trained and competiting in boxing. To compare the two is unreasonable. A. Silva is great but he doesn’t fight guys who have 20 to 40 on him. Give credit were credit is due, Fedor is a badass.
fedor has had worse fights where he was almost knocked out before he came back
cant believe how people say that he lost the first round or that he was losing
he owned roger in the first
roger totally gassed, didnt even score a takedown, fedor had like 3 in the first
then fedor knocks him down and pounds him out
and people are saying that he is good
sure, fedor can work on his conditioning
but other than that he was quite flawless
I dunno why some people keep this shit talk about who is the best and Brock thing… I think Brock can beat Fedor but to me Fedor is so much MMA fighter than Brock at all!! He has skills punching and submitting… he showed one more time he can fight even with a broke nose and still calm and concentrade!! Rogers landed some good Punch on him when they were next to the cage and Fedor Rogers was all over FEdor and Fedor could still think to try a submitted… and people here talk about A. Silva against Fedor… I am Brazillian but i think this fight has no sense Fedor is a heavyweight A. Silva is a Middleweight… i really get upset about people talking shit to a hard worker like Fedor is!! you guys care more about waht raking he is than the own Fedor.. Fedor can lose against anyone but he will be still one of the best!! Has some peopel here that can´t respect an Fighter like Fedor so can´t be a MMA fan… learn about respect folks
Ok people i shall tell u Fedor’s secret, He gives people openings then he takes them out. Just like here. Hope someday Strikeforce and UFC have a fight partership and we can c matchs we have been waiting for.
fedor is the mayweather of boxing lol
Honestly, everyone who keeps dropping Lesnar’s name, obviously has no history on MMA and especially the things that Fedor has indeed done. It’s casual fans that have turned Fedor into a novelty, while the hardcore fans know what’s real. Until Lesnar beats everyone Fedor has, I will never call him better than Fedor. Not even if he beats him. Looks at the man’s record. Compare the two. Sorry. I expect casual fans to take offense to this, but if you’re not, then you probably don’t need to respond.
Couldn’t agree with KSG & Kennie more…
Loved the wankers singing USA USA… Then POW over and done… ROFL.
Fedor owns you all, the end.
Fedor is still phenomenal in my book and one of the all time greats. But people are delusional if they think he should still be regarded the best ever or pound for pound greatest after his last two performances. He’s beginning to rely too heavily on that hail mary looping right bomb as a way to get himself out of lackluster starts and by doing so he is only providing future opponents with a blueprint of how to better figure him out. He never cuts weight because he’s against it which proves his inexperience in doing so would weaken him tremendously if he moved to 205 to fight Anderson Silva. At 205 Anderson is too smooth to untouchable and vicious. He’d absolutely murder Fedor at that weight. Fedor’s eternal home is heavyweight.
and maybe chuck noris
ok, i admit, fedor is pretty hot.
Fedor Would Murder My Champion
No Hope… NO HOPE.
lesnar is 1 dimentional and a loaf. hope fedor does get to prove it.
…. Fedor is the Last Emperor, The Greatest MMA fighter there is. But without you BRUNO, I’ll be clueless of who is who and what is what. BRUNO “The Provider”. Thanks…. I really appreciate your site and your work.
Bruno: No prob. Thanks for visiting.
All hail the Provider. you the man bruno.
sloppy fighting from fedor and a weak opponent. i give it 2 rogers he had heart. he took some shots and was able 2 tag fedor a couple of times, but brett rogers ain’t that great. much better heavyweights in the ufc. fedor wants 2 prove the best he needs 2 fight the best and they r not in strikeforce
