    Agree completely, there is no way Rogers is somehow Fedors biggest competition hes faced to date.

      Well in case you didn't see it, Rogers destroyed Arlovski and is undefeated. I know his fights have been against lower end talent, but something has to be said about his fights not going past the first round. Fedor is getting older and all the battles are wearing on him, so don't count out a hungry, younger challenger. I understand the felling Fedor will somehow pull it off as usual, but at some point he will meet a hungrier challenger.

        Maybe I missed something, but I didn't think he'd been "battling" anyone lately. He dropped Arlovski and Sylvia in the first round. Has he had any drawn-out fights besides those?
        Acts 2:38. Let the truth be told.
        John 4:23. He is seeking a seeker.
        John 3:20. Say no to normal.

            Hey, anything can happen in MMA, and Rogers is a bully fighter. In boxing a bully can be had, like Tyson, Bowe, and Frazier. In MMA a bully can be devastating, just look at Liddell, Evans, or Henderson. Every fight is a challenge, and Rogers will be a hand full. Like i said if this goes further in then I like Fedor, but if someone goes done quick it goes to Rogers.

              He has fought a lot more fights and is getting older. What did you not get about that statment?

                "Anything can happen" is a big difference from "Biggest challange yet"

                  Ok, here I go. Since coming to America and Strikeforce, this will be his biggest challenge yet.

                    Re: Fedor v. Rogers: Nov. 7 on CBS!

                    Well no **** it's his biggest challenge since coming to Strikeforce since it's his first fight there. As for biggest challenge since coming to America I'm not too sure. Arlovski has a lot better MMA skill than Rogers, and spare me that "But Rogers KO'd Arlovski!!!" argument. The fight lasted like 20 seconds, no way you could have gotten anything out of that fight except Rogers has heavy hands and Arlovski's chin is glass, things we already knew.

                    I think Rogers fight with Abongo is a lot bigger indicator of his skills than the Arlovski fight, and if Rogers looks like he did in that fight against Fedor then I don't like his odds.

                    Oh and of course when you hit as hard as Rogers does there is always a chance of an upset, but without hindsight I don't see how you can argue Rogers is Fedor's biggest threat. Hell, even if Rogers does KO Fedor I still don't think he would be Fedor's biggest threat.

                        Yeah I'm a little less than 2 hours away, so I might have to look into getting tickets myself. Should be a great card.

                          When you say stupid **** expect to get called out on it. It's a rough internets out there, maybe it's not for you. Oh, and I don't know who is gonna win, but if I see something I don't agree with I'm gonna present my opinion.

                                Where did you get the tickets? Ticketmaster? I'm 30 minutes from the city and would love to see Fedor as my first MMA event. How much are tickets?
