Fedor vs Rogers

[shrimp_jao]

So, I just got done watching the fight three times in a row to specifically make sure that I would not miss a single detail. I recommend you do the same before flaming me.

After watching the fight I came to the conclusion that not only is Fedor way past his prime, but that he also would not have a snowball's chance in hell against the top heavyweights in the UFC. I dislike Brock just as much as anyone else does, but to say Fedor would be him is, in my opinion, ludicrous.

 

The fight was sloppy and just embarrassing for both fighters. Rogers almost finished him! It seemed like Fedor had no power in his punches or the same speed he once acquired. Maybe he is better off in StrikeForce for the sake of his reputation.

 

Your thoughts?

Considering how easily Rogers dominated Arlovski, I'd say Fedor did quite well in beating him in the second round.

Yeah... what a weak TKO.

... you forgot to mention the blood running from fedors face & the fact that rogers gassed

trying to finish emp against the cage ... however I do believe grim would have finished lesnar early in the first

... even past his prime, he will destroy & annihilate all ufc hw/ pretenders .. the anti-fedor clan of inbred infidels continue to advance the living legend that is the last emperor .. welcome to planet fedor, love it or leave it ... 1-800-EPIPHANY

+1--Well said.

[Erjabo]

Besides the 5-10 GnP and some clinching against the fence by Rogers, Fedor dominated that fight. He connected on Rogers a few times before he got that KO.

 

I'm not going to say that he'd beat Brock, but he could easily compete with the HW's in the UFC and quite possibly take the belt.

agree 100%!!! Fedor knows this as well...he can come up with excuse after excuse but until you hold UFC GOLD you arent considered the best...no matter what yer past is, no matter who youve beatin....the UFC GOLD is the ONLY gold that matters.

Never mind that EVERY MMA ranking system ranks a guy that never held UFC as the #1 HW. Clearly you know best.

Moving right along...

[WGFball34]

i completely disagree..fedor caught rogers twice..2nd time he ended his night..he took rogers down one time at ease and when rogers "sweeped" him on the ground fedor was going for a kimura..mind you this is a 6'4 264lb man and fedors only 233 and thats not comparing rogers to lesnar or anybody but thats still pretty tough. then it wasnt rogers gassing out it was fedor and his iron chin surviving the punches and going for an armbar..and back to his punches looking slow??his punches look slow?? did u see the punch he caught rogers with, that came outta no where

[frankz331]

Everyone knows all those ranking are bs. I am not saying he is or is not the best but you have to look at it from the outside here is the ufc finally starting to stack the HW division with some really good fighters and he had a chance to fight all these guys and get a boatload of money while doing it. But he choose not to instead he decided to go his own way and fight guys less know to the masses. Thats what brings all the posts and all the questions and all the doubts from everyone so you really have to look at it like it is his fault for all this dam drama. Dam you fedor plz come to the ufc and fights some of these so we can really find out who is the best.

[Alpha_Omega]

When people say things like this I wonder if they've ever seen Fedor fight previously. Did everyone miss the Fujita fight? Did everyone miss the Randleman fight? Did every miss the Arlovski fight? Fedor's performance was not unlike what we've seen in the past.

 

Arlovski worked Fedor for a bit and everyone thought Fedor was going downhill and that Arlovski exposed him. Bam, Arlovski gets KO'd by Rogers, Rogers get KO'd by Fedor.

 

Fedor does not always dominate. Other than 4 punches from Posture Rogers did nothing but survive long enough to get knocked out.

 

Not every Fedor performance is one like Coleman 2, Goodridge, Nogueira or Sylvia.

... remember all the brock-breath dingleberries that called it a lucky punch vs arlovski,

or the AFC of I that said rogers was winning before the lucky hammer-drop ... ?

... they are either no longer @ ufc.com or they have de-manned & created another ID

[WGFball34]

yea i agree with alpha omega but its not fedors fault its his managers fault who r apart of M1global.. his contract ends after 2 more fights with strikeforce then i believe he'll tell 1global to pound salt n sign with ufc..even dana white said fedors not scared its his crazy managers..and i think fedor needs to test himself in a cage b4 being thrown into one with brock lesnar or whoever the champ will be when he arrives in the ufc and not be like cro cop like ive said b4 said it was extremely tough transitioning from a ring to a cage

[lunatic_kalm]

Rankings are generally comprised by some of the more knowledgable people in the field in which they work. So Im sure you're right. They're crap because they dont agree with your opinion. And actually, M1 is responsible for contractual dealings when it comes to Fedor.

Yeah I heard people saying this was a lucky punch. LOL. Fedor timed it perfectly. That's almost as stupid as calling Mir's knee bar on Brock lucky. Totally unrelated, but another example. I have never heard of a lucky submission. Lucky punch, sure. Scissor takedown to a knee bar can in no way be lucky. Period.

 

I also laugh when people say Rogers won the first round.

[Mirko4life]

I used to find it so funny when people were trying to discredit Rogers after the Fedor fight. Saying Fedor would get demolished by the top fighters in the UFC, then including Carwin in those guys.

 

Carwin = Rogers

 

Carwin is in line for a title in the UFC. What does this say about Fedor lol.

[Alexx]

it was his first fight in a cage.

it was against a HW who walks around at 280lb

rogers sweats a lot.

Carwin has never fought past 2:11 & that was his debut ... 11-0 records actually adds up

to less than lesnars & he probably would have been the ufc/hw champion had brock not gotten sick ... milking the napao win for all its NOT worth ! ..

They're still about the same. They all beat a bunch of cans in a very impressive manner, then beat 1 good fighter. The difference is that Carwin was getting his **** handed until his big right connected and Rogers just mauled Arlovski. Also, a win over Arlovski is better than a win over Napao IMO.

Agreed. Arlovski had a much more impressive career than Napao did.

I agree, and Alovski was 5-1 in his last 6 fights before he faught Rogers.

[The_Jack_Attack]

Yup, and They both faught against Werdum, Gonzaga got T/KOed, Arlovski beat him.

Exactly.

[Alpha_Omega]

Gonzaga got TKOd twice.

[khaki_man]

I thought round one was one of the best heavyweight MMA rounds I've ever seen to be honest. A lot of back and forth action. Fedor thrives on his balance and ability to throw his opponent. Against bigger opponents he uses armbars and kimuras. If that doesn't work he just knocks them the f**k out.

You have to remember that Fedor is a small guy in the HW division, And Rogers is a legit HW fighter, he ended his last 10 fights via KO.

Just becuase he?s not fighting in UFC doesn?t mean he sucks.

What i?m saying is that Fedor can?t dominate bigger guys becuase he?s not superman.

So he takes some punishment and tries to find your mistakes and what not.

Then BOOM and your gone. a win is a win m8.

 

People say "well Fedor is slowing down" Let me tell you this, Fedor is still the fastest HW to ever live and fight MMA.

So it doesn?t matter if he is slowing down, he is still faster then any HW in the world.

 

And btw, when Brett landed the jab and fedor started bleeding wasn?t because he landed a hard punch, Fedor had a scar over his nose, and when you get punched it?s much easier for a scar to open up than if you didn?t have it.

That is how Fedor fights, which is what has made him so exciting to watch and such an enigma. He takes everything you throw at him without even flinching, waits for his moment, and pounces. He has done it over and over again. He has never been pretty to watch, everything about him appearrance wise says exactly the opposite of the truth. And that truth is he is the best finisher in the history of the sport.
