While there are those who think, for some reason or another, that Fedor’s showing against Rogers exposed some problems dealing with the cage, it’s clear that what we saw against Rogers was nothing new for people familiar with Fedor’s skillset. It was simply the execution we’ve come to expect. In that respect, the showing was mundane, but it was meaningful in terms of the argument for Fedor, potentially, fighting UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC, #2 IWMMAR).
