Rogers better pray that he'll be able to keep this fight standing, and that he hits Fedor right on the button. This is yet another fight to protect Fedor, who is Strikeforce's Kimbo Slice, only talented.

Fedor deserves one or two gimmes, especially after taking on back to back former UFC champions Sylvia and Arlovski. No matter what anyone says, those two would still be competitive in the UFC today, and the wins shouldn't be discounted.

The same goes for Rogers, although I look at his victory over Arlovski as more of a fluke. A flash KO does nothing to prove how well he'll be able to do in an actual battle, which is what I expect to come out of Fedor.

I just watched some Brett Rogers fights and i now realize what is going to make the difference in this fight. Brett Rogers has Big Black in his corner. How could he possibly lose when he has that guy in his posse? Seriously though, what is the connection between these dudes other then being huge black dudes? Anyone know?

I ordered some cheap nose bleed tickets for this event. I don't imagine Fedor will be in the Chicago area again for a long time, if ever, so it is worth $35 to see him live once.

I just wish Babalu was on this card...

Light Heavyweight bout: Gegard Mousasi vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Heavyweight bout: Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva (this is the only one i had to think about... i'm a huge Meyhem Fan, The Last Emperor has too many tools for the boxer and i'll send the Predator some lovely flowers for his plot)

Fedor Emelianenko, is the best heavyweight in the world. However, in the United States Fedor isn't well known. Brett Rogers certainly isn't the best heavyweight in the world, and he really didn't even earn his shot at Fedor. However, if the audience sees this big, scary looking guy (Rogers), they're probably going to assume he'll win. This gives room for a Fedor win to impress the viewing audience, which will be full of people getting their first glance at him.

I am really looking forward to the event on November 7.

Heard the game will be streamed live on a site called Omnisport! It is legal and in HD! That's great news!

What a Joke fedor is. I used to like fedor I think hes a great fighter but he just doesnt want to fight the best. Strikeforce has no one in it that can even attempt to beat him. Fedor should have signed with UFC and faught the best. This will be like a grown man beating up an infant what a joke. Fedor obviously just wants to be fed easy fights.
