Does Fedor fight tonight or next weekend?
Fedor might be the Strikeforce champ, but CBS is the commercial champ Out here on the West Coast they showed about 15 minutes of continuous commercials between the 3rd fight and the last fight. They tried to cram in so many commercials that West Coast viewers missed the two fighters walking to the ring. Congrats to Fedor though. However, I thought that Bigfoot and the MTV guy won their fights .......

Now it’s time for the MAIN EVENT!
BRETT “THE GRIM” ROGERS VS. FEDOR “THE LAST EMPEROR” EMELIANENKO
Round 1: I’m saddened to report that I’m already hearing chants of “U.S.A, U.S.A”…way to be classy, Chicago. Rogers lands an innocent looking jab, but now Fedor is bleeding heavily from the bridge of the nose. Rogers is pressing Fedor into cage, they separate, and Fedor landed a hellacious left hand that would’ve dropped most men. Fedor and Rogers exchange a barrage of punches, but the round ends with Rogers being the first man to make it into the second round with Fedor since 2006. I give the first round to Fedor even though I don’t think there will be any need to score this fight because there’s no way this is going to a decision.
Round 2: Once again, in a scene straight out of Rocky IV, the fans are chanting “U.S.A.” as if Obama was having a knife fight with Putin with the winner being the undisputed champ of world domination. Rogers is looking more and more confident with each passing second, as he now withstands an onslaught of punches. Rogers backs away from the cage and is actually bouncing around somewhat and looking extremely relaxed. HOLY S***!!! Fedor just unloaded a fight ending right hand to the jaw with 3:17 left in the second round, and just like that Fedor silences his critics again!
I’m now on the lookout for Jean-Claude Van Damme to climb into the cage to give Fedor the creepy “I look like a sexual predator” wink again. Fedor gets molested by Van Damme.
They interviewed Fedor after the fight, and he was nothing but gracious and thanked the fans for all of their support.
Rogers was a different story all together. He blamed the fact that he doubted himself as the reason for the loss, and that if he had thrown his hands more he would’ve won. Not throwing your hands didn’t put you flat on your back, Fedor did. Look Brett, you just got beat by the greatest MMA fighter the world has ever known, show some respect so you don’t come across as a total douche bag with nothing but excuses. You got beat by FEDOR. Everybody gets beat by Fedor. Thank him for humoring you by letting you get in the same ring with him, and then walk away.

Please.... Lesnar is a fad. Every time a fighter rises, people start comparing them to Fedor. The problem is that none of those people know jack about MMA. Lesnar doesn't belong in the same zip code, let alone same ring, as Fedor.
He beat a mediocre fighter in Mir, and he barely beat an old guy in Couture. Not only do I think that Fedor can demolish Lesnar with much less effort than he needed for Rogers, I think that Shane Carwin will make minced meat out of Lesnar in one, maybe two rounds. Lesnar only has size to his advantage but he can't punch. He's never thrown one fight ending haymaker. SHane Carwin will just need to land one good punch to take the belt. I can't wait for that fight.
I do wish Lesnar the best in his recovery though.
I would have to disagree w/ you. Honestly Im not a fan of Lesnar but.... iI was front row at the Couture/Lesnar fight and quite frankly I know Fedor will be no competition to Lesnar.
