Thank you for the quick post! Happy Easter!
Other than the hair grabbing, I think the Grimm is a pretty good heavyweight fighter. I’ve liked him since I saw him in EliteXC. He has good technique though I have no idea of what his ground game looks like. He was on Inside MMA last week and said he understands he has to work on it because eventually he will end up there. He seems to be humble and knows his weaknesses. I hope to see him fight again this year.
good finish. herb dean is racist against mohawks. hahaha
Ron Humphrey took some major knees … good fight.
Wow how can you not grab his hair when its like a mop.
Good KO win.
They should allow hair pulling, I don’t see anything wrong with it as it is a legitimate tactic – Royc
reminds me of the good ol’ dayz, when hair pulling was allowed – the good ol’ dayz.
Brett Rogers just got a bunch of fans there including me. Set up the kimbo fight so he can mangle him
anyone “nose” what happen to me?
lol actually rogers wants a piece of overeem, I’m not to sure if thats a smart move for his next fight
Rogers ought to challenge Abango to a “head shave match” WWF style!
Rogers has good stand up. I wonder what would happen to him if Lesner or Mir takes him down. Well, what I really wonder is how long does the it take for Lesner to hammer fist him into a bloody mess or for Mir to snap his arm.
Good beat down!
Thanks for posting it.
LOL, I know Kimo wished they had the Hair pulling rule when he fought Royce Gracie, it was legal then, and he just grabbed his pony tail and controlled him. It looked like his scalp was gonna come off. I didn’t really see it at first, but on the replay, he was obviously tilting his head back by pulling on the hair to get the uppercut. Flashbacks of Wanderlei on the ending tho…lol
congo bongo gave it a good go,
now lets see kimbo vs. rogers
I remember Royce Gracie pulling on Kimo’s hair and and locking him up. Of course this was before Kimo found crack and a jumpsuit.
Great fight, sounds like this card was awesome.
Rogers looked good and has a cool nickname.
That big ole’ greasy fro mop just aint right…
It looked like Herb Dean was sitting down to relate with him, at the end.
The card was awesome. I hope they post all the fights that went on last night. I don’t remember ever seeing a woman get the full suplex treatment before (cyborg vs. akano). The war between Benji and Scott was a good one too and of course the surprise of Diaz being so dominant over Shamrock. I was surprised to see the poll on the home page where more people that I thought didn’t care about this card. Guess they didn’t realize why no one (even Dana White) has anything bad to say about Scott Coker (Head of Strikeforce). They can put on a good show out there in California.
Abango needs to stfu about the hair grabbing. If you don’t want to risk getting your hair pulled in the plum, don’t go into a fight with huge dreadlocks. MMA is a sport; you cut your nails, you wear appropriate clothing and protection, and you cut your f*cing hair so it doesn’t impede your vision/interfere with your ability to fight.
Hard to grab a mohawk but ain’t hard to grab bodyfat..hahaha
Good win..nice needs… ummm knees
lol yea herb felt bad about how that happened
good fight.
good movement from both fighters and lots of heart.
they did not waste any time. it was all out all the time.
when it comes to heavyweights, the ufc really has no grounds for calling either mir or the steroid monkey ‘heavyweight champion of the world’.
I think that Humphrey could get pretty good with some more fights under his belt, he took alot of hard shorts from a bigger guy. I hope he comes back from this
Also Grim looked good, I’d like to see him for a higher ranked HW
I wish they set the Kimbo fight, he would get fucked, To bad Kimbo retired early he should get 1 more woopin before callin it quits.
you know who else needs to cut their friggin hair? clay guida. his girly do is always blocking his vision.
haha. Dam!
pretty impressive fight for Rogers
Herb: Hey Ron, Ron? Hey, man. You just got knocked the fuck out.
Ron: yea….you got an ice cream at the crib? I can’t find my teeth.
Rogers punch very hard. He is going to be a tough contender for anybody.
Thir13en Says, in 4-12-2009 at 09:37:08 from 219.90.179.147 Wow how can you not grab his hair when it’s like a mop.
Good KO win.
(( My thought’s exactly )) its extreamly hard not to grab dreadlocks like that when you’re in a clinch. I don’t think he was doing it intentionally. But hey who care’s he won anyways.
now i wnat to see rogers vs overeem,carano vs cyborg and diaz vs chung lee
The long hair shouldn’t be allowed. It isn’t in other grabbling sports. Also, Humphrey needs to get a real mouthpeice instead of a $2.50 boil and bite one. lol
that was phrikkin brutal. those knees arggh.
humphreys is a tough dude and a good fighter.
he should have kept it going as cardio might have been on his side a the smaller faster guy. he should have continued more the approach of the first few minutes, to tire and frustrate rogers. it wasn’t smart to bring it to a beast like rogers.
rogers, brock, carwin :the dawn of super HW’s
I cant wait to see Fedor give Rogers the fight that he should have got from Arlovski. AA made the misteake of underestimating the competition. If you ask me the Arlovski that Rogers fought was not in the same physique as when he knocked out Rothwell back in July. If you look at the snap shots of the 2 fights its as if it was 2 different fighters. Anyhow I think that Fedor Vs Rogers will be a really interesting matchup but I dont think Rogers has a chance.
Mops should be illegal in MMA.
Rogers is reaaaally slow when he attacks.. althought he does pack 280 pounds behind each strike.
Fedor is going to have some fun this sat.

yay!
brett rogers has no gas tank, hes exhausted in the second round LMFAO! Fedor is going to destroy him and send him back to changing tires at sam’s club and probably sell his house since he won’t be able to afford mortgage.
Good fight, I hope saturday’s fight will be as entertaining!
Roger’s by KO on Fedor…I’m tellin the guy is hungry, trained his ass off this is his big break to change his whole frickin life and the life of his family… He’s gonna bring it!!!
Get a haircut hippy!
good thing Fedor doesnt have hair or else Rogers might have a chance bhahahaha
@shocktime
ROGERS COULD BE STAAARVING!…That don’t mean anything given the fact that he’s 5 years younger than Fedor and doesn’t have the training Fedor has had in his entire career..
I mean, Rogers has fought 10 guys..
Fedor, adding up all of his tournaments, not just MMA.. like 5,000!!! COME ON!
Fedor KNOWS his MMA and he’s going to kill him
Is it me? or did Rogers look gassed.
I am not sure Xlonic if he was gassed or TIRED bhahahahaha…..bhahahahaha get TIRED bhahahah
