Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers (Nov 7th, CBS)

[Susan]

Henderson is going to be there cornering Soko. I think I heard he was coming down with some guys from my gym in their party bus thingy.

[CPT]

I'll take....

Fedor (though I threw $5 on Rogers on the chance that he lands one of his bombs)

Mousasi

Miller (I know Shields is good, but I don't really see how he wins this fight...I think Mayhem beats him standing up, and can nullify him on the ground)

Silva (I think there's a chance that Bigfoot is really, really good....this will be a huge test for him, as Werdum is a very good HW....if Werdum wins, I guess he's getting the next shot at Fedor)

[SportsWorld]

Gus Johnson is **** awesome.

[Rafael122]

This fight is awesome.

[Deelow_23]

I really hate Jake Shields. He did nothing but hold Miller down the whole fight. Boring...Boring...Boring...

[SportsWorld]

This is very bloody

[SportsWorld]

Oh my God.

WOW!

You could tell the fight was going to end with a knockout but damn!

Rogers got caught with his hands down, and Fedor dropped the hammer. Good effort from Brett in the first, but yeah great stuff from Fedor. That was pretty much an ideal fight for SF.

As for the other fights.... Mousasi is just **** awesome. Dude never ceases to amaze me.

Silva and Mayhem were pretty big letdowns for me. Props to Shield though, because he imposed his will that entire fight, and despite not finishing and making it a snoozefest, he dominated.

Silva on the other hand I felt LET that fight get away, he should've owned Werdum, but wasted time on the ground....

Overall good card and would be great to see Cung Le back in December!

OH and one more thing...

Gus Johnson is a good hype man but he needs to learn more tact in his interviews. They are just so uncomfortable and annoying.

[Nolan]

Who what a shot..

That was a pretty good card overall one of the better ones i've seen in a while.

[Susan]

Shields just needs to be a little more aggressive. It was boring as **** and I love grappling.

[High 5]

I definitely didn't think that fight would make it out of the first round. Rogers impressed me with his ability to survive on the ground with Fedor and even turn the tables landing some monster shots.

Nothing really left to be said about Fedor. Dude's a machine.

I agree, Rogers impressed me a lot.

I was happy to finally see a Fedor fight go to the ground. It's been a while since he's been on his back.

Most of the fans were supporting Fedor, but Rogers got a lot of support because he was the hometown kid. Respect all around.


Who does Fedor fight next? Werdum? Overeem would be more interesting imo, but he doesn't seem to want to leave Japan.

[Natural11]

What a knockout. Great win for Fedor, considering he was handicapped with a broken nose 5 seconds into the fight. It looked like Fedor put on weight for this fight, and he still looked much smaller. Rogers has some serious strength. Kinda hoping Strikeforce goes bust. I want to see a Fedor/Lesnor fight more than ever.

[Mike Hunt]

Fedor is the least dangerous looking man in the world, but he is pretty amazing.

That Shields fight was painful to watch. Especially the fact that he's a wrestler but couldn't find any openings to actually strike Miller...

Does anyone know why Miller's discipline is listed as "slap boxing"? Is this a joke or is this just a discipline I've never heard of? I know the guy goes with "Parts unknown" as his birthplace too so I figure it might be something kitchy.
