Fedor vs Brett Rogers announced

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Wonderful....I sat around all day bored to tears coulda gone to see that. POS


edit....nevermind.

that whole "meet Fedor!", "Fedor signs autographs!", "Fedor open Work out!" was complete garbage, he hit the pads for a VERY short amount of time, maybe did at most 10-4 punch combinations and then moved to the heavy bag... oh wait, I forgot, he jumped rope. then we all stood in line for 45 minutes and were told he had to leave, because the whole god damned F***king thing was extremely disorganized, the only shit I got to enjoy was some kid in front of me bragging with his best friend
dick buddy about how he could beat up Ricardo Almeida and how he used to own him in sparring and how Almeida is lucky that this dude didn't fight at 170 in the UFC.

actually, the best part was an adult yelling at Fedor, "I'll never cheer for you again", ha ha ha, the dude looked to be in his late 30's and was pissed!

I'm rooting for Rogers so we can hear this:

I told you Fedor sucks. Fuck him. He lost to a fucking no name. Mr Rogers or whatever the fuck his name is. Fedor was fucking scared to come here, he wouldnt have lasted one minute with Brock. Now he makes no fucking money to lose to guys named Mr. Rogers, or the Grim Reefer, or whatever the fuck his name is. Who the fuck is Brett Rogers? That guy was fucking selling tires last week. Fedor is a fucking joke. He'll never fight here, unless he wants to try out for our reality show. What a fucking joke. Fuck. Fuck.

Couple Showtime vids they are making, is it just me or does Rogers look in good shape?

Im glad they're hyping it right but I feel bad for Rogers.. after he gets destroyed hes going to have to work to build the momentum he has again. I think they should've built him up right.

[JeremyHight]

If Fedor makes quick work of the SF heavyweights and then leaves for Japan, I'm scared for SF's heavyweight division. UFC will still have Brock and can make it seem to all the US fans that "Fedor is scared", but the SF will just have a bunch of guys who just got their asses beat.

[CrimsonGhost56]

fedor-overeem is the only fight i really want to see

[CrimsonGhost56]

fight will be November 7th on CBS... no venue has been announced yet. should have word by the end of the day

[Justo]

CBS?

[SHOGUN]

I want Fedor vs. Overeem after this.

[CrimsonGhost56]

CBS?

yep CBS. strikeforce is pullin out the big guns. they have the best fighter in the world and if you have the chance to showcase him on network tv you do it. and by making it november 7th is almost an impossibility for the UFC to counter-program it. that would mean the UFC would have to put on three shows in three weeks (UFC 105 = 14th UFC 106 = 21st) but never say never when it comes to dana and the ufc.

[Liquidrob]

wow @ being on CBS out of the gates, thank you Strikeforce, you have done well

I think thats the difference between EliteXC and Strikeforce, Elite gives us Kimbo, Strikeforce gives us Fedor on free TV

[Justo]

he'll make UFC 104.5 if he has to lol

prepare for Ultimate Iceman 2 live on Spike!

prepare for Ultimate Iceman 2 live on Spike!

lol wouldnt surprise me in the least bit. i think the more likely scenario would be moving 105 a week back to the 7th since its going to be a tape delayed free event anyway but who knows if thats even doable. you know Dana is going to do something drastic. no way hes letting strikefarce get all the limelight with fedor headlining a CBS card

edit - another possibility could be showing 102, 103 or maybe 104 on spike
