you guys ever seen the “Fedor! oh Fedor!” video? lol i found it amusing.

SPOILER *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Fedor just won himself another fan. All I can say is I am impressed with both fighters, and I don’t feel that Fedor getting a little busted up in the first round took anything away from his mystique.

Good on both fighters…. of course GREAT ON FEDOR!

SPOILER ************************************************************************************************************************************************

OH MAN! What a great fight, considering the whole event was a snoozer Fedor really brought the house down. I hope people can now see how incredible Fedor is after that fight.

From the point where Rogers landed a JAB that tore Fedor open THAT badly its clear to see why Arlovski got knocked out… dam that guy hits hard. Immediately after Fedor got him down he almost slapped in that armbar but Rogers handled hiself WAY BETTER than i thought he would. Sweeping Fedor and standing up at times, but when he got full mount and started bombing Fedor i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! LOL then sure enough Fedor recovered.

In the 2nd round when Fedor came out, he looked different man, SERIOUS! hard to describe in words, its like he moved more deliberately instead of feeling his way around. When i saw that big right hand land on Rogers chin i jumped up and ran out of the room screaming before Rogers even hit the mat lol. I saw the extra finishing shots in the replay but when i initially saw Rogers neck snap to the side, i knew it was over. It was like Arlovski all ove again except he wasnt flying through the air when he got knocked dead.

If Fedor had landed that armbar right at the beginning i dont think i would have been more impressed than i was from his amazing recovery and that crazy haymaker.

Much respect to Rogers too, that guy is DANGEROUS to anyone in the HW div… except Fedor.. why? because HES FEDOR!!!!! haha

but ya…. WHAT A FIGHT!!!

SPOILER ******************************************************************

Fedor did what Fedor does, take even the smallest opening and make you pay. the guy is just so good, imagine how someone Rogers’ size feels when Fedor comes at you just swinging and when he gets close enough he just ragdolls you to the mat lol. Shields/Mayhem went down the way i hoped it wouldnt. Shields doesnt impress me all that much, he is a great grappler but he’d get murdered by Anderson or GSP. how long till we see Mousasi in the UFC? if he continues doing the things he doing it wont be long before everyones calling for him to fight some of the UFC light heavy weight elite. its nice to see Werdum get the win, ChuteBoxe FTW!

i didnt think this night was a snoozer except for shields he should be ashamed.Fedor is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah guys my wife said that the Fedor fight was the best one she’s seen in a year, it lived up to the hype surrounding it…. she’s right, the UFC is so stupid for not signing this guy, meet his demands, let him compete in Sambo, pay him more than any other fighters… you know why? Because he could be Lesnar and A. Silva with a broken nose, one eye poked out, at the same time…get the guy a cape and some boots…

Fedor is a bad a**! who’s next to get pounded!!!!!!!!

I don’t think any of the Fedor haters will ever trully be quieted. Rogers is a huge, powerful sack of potatoes to handle and I didn’t really know what to expect of him before the fight. I mean, so was Gary Goodridge and we saw what Fedor did to him. I was impressed with Rogers’ ground defense and gas tank. I thought his post-fight reaction was very unprofessional.

As for Fedor…I was very worried through most of the fight. Can I say without doubt that he would destroy Lesnar? no…no I can not. Not anymore. But, then again, how would Brock respond if he were hit cleanly on the jaw like that?
I am afraid that Fedor would not survive a similar pounding if he were on his back taking the same blows from Brock as he was from Rogers.

For those who still claim it was a lucky punch…your ignorance is understandable if this was your first viewing of Fedor or any other MMA fight for that matter.

Banned, your thoughts?

fedor would get picked apart by a technical striker like Anderson. of course Anderson could get gassed from the weight gain. Fedor’s stand up is sloppy. he has alot of power behind his punches. but someone with footwork and head movement would have little trouble. the punch he caught Rogers with was not lucky he telegraphed it from a mile away. Fedor would have probably had that arm if Rogers wasn’t so slippery from Fedors blood. I had to give Rogers some credit for dodging 2 submissions. Fedor looked rusty to me. I think that jab woke him up. I still would pay anything to see Fedor vs Brock. The longer fedor waits the better Brock is going to get. so by the time they ever fight I think Brock will finish him. people really need to get off fedors nuts! I can’t be the only one that sees the truth. sad to say Brett may have won that fight if he wasn’t so hesitant. people really need to get past the Fedor mystic. Rogers at times seemed scared to engage.

no logic? so your so blind by the fedor hype that you don’t see he is a brawler? his foot work is weak his head movement is weak and does he ever throw a jab? he has power with fast hands but he wings his punches. even an amateur boxer would knock him out. he honestly had some trouble with Rogers. who IMO is mediocre. my god I can’t wait until he fights a top 5 fighter or even a top 10. he isn’t half as good a she is made out to be. and for people to not know what I’m saying you must be new to mma or something. I just don’t get it. why hug his nuts? why?

my grammer? I didn’t know i was being graded. “obviously you haven’t been around a lot” lol. my grammer? don’t read or respond to my garbage kid. as far as Anderson not being big or strong enough ask Franklin about that. and didn’t Fedor struggle just a little bit against Lindland? and the boxer thing yes fedor would submit him. I was speaking of a stand up battle. and questioning how long I’ve been watching mma. I actually started day one with the ufc in 93 I ordered the first one live. since then I have spread out into Pride and bodog fight and ifl and kotk and all the other trash out there. Its funny how everyone on here questions me. whos in 1st place with the camp this season? and last season I came in 3rd even though I missed my picks for an entire event.
everyone has their own opinion some make good points and some verbally lash out like retards. why not try to make your point like an adult. I know I’ve been guilty of it but I never really got angry I actually laugh the whole time.

I hope Brock wouldn’t stand in front of Fedor and trade. His best bet is the take down and ground and pound and he better watch out and defend the submission. Brocks a monster no question about that. he needs more experience before he fights Fedor IMO. I wish Brock would go to a legit mma camp and soak up as muck knowledge as possible. I’m not saying fedor isn’t good I just don’t think he is as great as people make him out to be. Yes currently he should be ranked number 1 heavy weight but not #1 pfp. he has holes and the right style and fighter will beat him. I’m looking forward to seeing who can do it. in the past I would say Big Nog came the closest. Joe Rogan thinks overreem will be the one. I don’t think so but he is probably the best strikeforce has to offer.

i dont know how anyone can say Fedor and hype in the same sentence, maybe if he was 4 or 5 fights in but i think he has proven hes beyond just hype. Fedor is as good as people say he is, everyone who was supposed to be the guy to end the “hype” got smashed. he beat a prime CroCop on his feet and a prime Nog on the ground, his last three fights he brutally KOed three dangerous strikers, he submitted a top notch wrestler in Lindland, how many more times can the guy prove himself before the haters quit trying to find a reason to discredit him. when someone else can make the claims Fedor does (beaten most of the top heavies in the game, ridiculous win streak, ect.) then people can say hes nothing special, till then the haters have a very weak argument.

This is what Brock has done so far.

Against Mir he showed his overpowering takedown and his quick scrambles on the ground. He also showed his inexperience with his little hammer fists and his lack of sub defense.

Against Herring, he had learned some safe wrestling positions and was able to neutralize Herring while landing some of his own shots. Huge difference in performance after a little MMA instruction.

Against Randy, now hes been working on his striking making him even more dangerous, adding that to his unstoppable takedowns and position control on the ground.

Mir 2, all he had to worry about was submissions from Mir, so his team developed the wrist control strategy which stopped Mir from even being able to setup a sub, let alone attempt one. Mir knows how to escape wrist control, but the amount of power and weight he posted on him, it was like having wrist control on a child he couldnt escape it and got beat up.

So what new tricks has he learned now?? this guy is getting more and more dangerous all the time, he is a scary dude. Besides being a physical specimen and a talented wrestler, hes also able to learn quickly and execute a gameplan. Seriously guys, theres only 2 things we havent seen yet. Brock getting hit with a big shot from a big guy (like Carwin) and Brock being put on his back.

Fedor must have big balls. because all you guys have room to dangle from them. My god yes Fedor is good but no body is unbeatable. duh! so basically your going to cozy up to his sack until Brock destroys him. Then you will say **** like Brock couldn’t have done that at Fedors prime. duh. and what the hell is kans-*** talking about Randy at 47 losing once a decade? he’s 46 by the way. and have you seen his record? he loses all the time. and your lame joke about Fedor vs my mouth. how about My **** vs your mouth. ***. Just because I don’t suck at Fedors *** doesn’t make me the enemy. what I’m wrong because I’m not in love with him? I like watching him fight hes good at what he does. is he perfect? no! by the way one of his fights with Big Nog was a no contest that by ufc rules would have been a win for Nog. dr. stoppage do to cut from Fedor head butting Nog. and the other fights with Nog went to close decision. Its funny to call someone a hater because their not *** for a fighter. LOL. man I’m sick of this. Fedor beats some big street fighting black guy who isn’t even top 10 and all the Fedor **** ride this wave of hype. get over it. save it for when and if he ever wins the ufc title. damn!

talking about being over someone im over shields the guy was horrible and to even almost get choked out JEEEEEEZ.i gained a ton of respect for miller.

by the way they censored all the so called male parts you speak of. one of which was you suckling on Fedors teet. and thats a female body part. all though its on Fedor so its a man boob. so not sure if that would be a man part or a woman part on a man. Why you keep calling me a kid or kiddo I can’t grasp. I’m 37 year old dad with a 15 year old daughter. I actually have a job with Pfizer for 12 years that I should be doing right now but instead I’m arguing with some kid from kansass who lives in his parents basement. We can all agree on Fedor without performing fellatio on him. I still say Brock will kill him by the time they fight.

kansass:
Obviously you don’t know what its like to have a teenage kid. they don’t want their parents hanging around them. grammar of a 3rd grader? me? check your previous post jack ace. what do you do for a living? could it be serve me fries? how much $ do you bring home? could it be none? I’m not sure what your trying to imply about having a 15 year old daughter but if I was you I would watch my step. who sucks at mma? me? LOL. how are you doing with your picks? your weak. your post are weak. your come backs are weak. give it up phag. your a dumb ace. maybe you should troll on sherdog ya white belt.

@banned2 –

Your rhetoric speaks for itself. I don’t need to be witty, with posts like your most recent, all of mine are validated.

you don’t need to be witty or your unable to be? I’ll give ya until tomorrow to come back with something worth while. until then screw you guys I’m go’in home.

Banned, seriously man if we were talking about Houston Alexander or Kimbo then it would be hype, then it would be nuthugging because those guys havent done anything to warrant the kind of praise people have for Fedor. The fact is, he ISNT Kimbo, hes the best and most dominant HW fighter in MMA history, true or not true? thats a fact.

You keep saying Brock this, Brock that, talking about a guy whos 3-1 in the UFC, so are YOU nuthugging? Talking about Fedor wont be #1 until he beats Brock although he was #1 while Brock was having fake fights flexing for the Brock-a-maniacs. If Fedor DID beat Brock, what would you say then? oh he has to beat Carwin or Overeem or WHOEVER. Fedor can never be #1 in your eyes because your just hating man, thats all there is to it.

Brocks already been SUBMITTED within 5 fights, Fedor has never been stopped. Brock could string together another 26 wins without dropping one (which he wont ill bet you anything on that) and he would still not equal what Fedor has accomplished because he already cried uncle once.

Were talking about the best fighter of all time, your talking about a roided out freak whos basically a noob in the sport. Whos really the hypester man? whos really the nuthugger?

Fedor also gives up 50-60 pounds to his opponents and wins because of his skill and intelligence, Brock wins because of what? oh ya size.

I wonder what would happen if Brock fought someone who was 350.. when he doesnt have the massive size and strength advantage. Would Brock be dancing around getting in and out tagging the guy or would he bullrush in and hit a brick wall.

Thats difference between a fighter and a slab of meat who lays on top of people.

Kansas, what you think about Wand vs Sexyama? will be great to see Wand at 185 instead of fighting these huge guys all the time. He used to be able to give up that much weight and still destroy guys, but time has caught up with him.

That should be a good fight assuming **** doesnt cheat lik ein his fight with Saku.

I would like to see Wand fight Bisping if he wins against Akiyama, then perhaps a rematch with Belfort.

well at least you guys had the good sense to go from talking about g*y things to talking about Sexyama, the sexiest man in MMA lmao. for real though its a hard to pick in this one Akiyama is a hell of a fighter (and a sharp dresser) and Wand hasnt been Wand for a little while now, but there is no way my man crush for Wanderlei lets me pick the other guy EVER! LOL so i got all my fruit filling out in this one post so back to being MANLY MAN for the rest of the year LOL.
