Fedor to get some cage experience

I think this could be great for Fedor.Apparently he signed for 3 fights(same amount left with M-1),he gets to fight a few of the last remaining top HW's not in UFC.
If(big if) he and Lesnar both win out and then Fedor comes to UFC,not only will it be a bigger fight,but one of Lesnars biggest advantages(Fedors never fought in a cage)
will be gone.Let's just hope to god he doesn't resign with M-1 or none of this happens.
Lesnar will have more experience and be a better fighter by then and Fedor will have some cage experience,so they should both be at their peak when when and if they meet.

That's a good way to look at it. I really hadn't thought of that, it will be interesting to see how Fedor adapts, maybe not against Rodgers but against someone like Overeem.

good point.

Does anybody think fedor has a chance of losing to anyone in strikeforce?

he's always got a chance. both overeem and rogers are huge so they both have at least a punchers chance. If roger gracie could actually get it to the ground he would also have a chance.

I just have a hard time seeing a real challenge for him there.

I might give Rogers a legit chance, he will have a big size advantage, a reach advantage, he def has pop in his punches. I don't think it's smart for anyone(save Kongo) to keep the fight standing with Brett and that includes Fedor. The unknowns are his ground game and his takedown defense, both of which have been untested, but who knows he might be versed enough in those areas to at least keep the fight going.

Overeem? I tend to think he will go the way of Barnett.

And if Nog's had nothing for Fedor, I don't see Werdum or Gracie having anything either.

That's the same shit people were saying before Fedor KO'd Arlovski. Brett Rogers would get blasted by Fedor in the first round. He's a nice up and coming HW but he's nowhere close to Fedor's level. Hell, he had problems finishing Abongo Humphries.

And Abongo is otherwise undefeated, and if he showed nothing else(and I believe he did show himself to be a capable fighter) he def showed a rock hard chin. Which AA did not have. And the glass chin was something Rogers exploited way earlier then Fedor did.

So what? Abongo hasn't fought anyone other than Rogers who had to damn near beat the guy half to death. Fedor would most likely finish Abongo in the first 30 seconds.

As far as Arlovski? If Fedor had rushed him and landed a shot that quickly it would've been over too. If we're going to argue about something stupid like that...here goes...it only took one shot from Fedor as opposed to what...5 shots from Rogers? Nanny nanny boo boo.

So Fedor could have finished AA in 30 sec but he chose to instead get boxed around the ring for 3 mins?

Hey there's no doubt we will see how Rogers fares vs Fedor soon enough, my guess is that Fedor takes it to the ground ASAP.

And Im waiting to see Abongo in the cage again. I thought even in defeat that he earned some praise.

I have no doubt that Rogers will fare better than Arlovski or Sylvia but that's not saying much.

As far as Abongo...he proved he could take a punch.

I thought Abongo showed an offensive game, but he was way undersized. He is the only guy who has given Rogers a fight thus far, no one else has even given Grim a semblance of one so far.

That guy should at least be on a ShoMMA in the very near future.

seriously ROGERS!!! no way ......fedor beats him 99 out of 100 times easily. the other time is a lucky punch. Cro cop was a more dangerous striker when fedor beat him why would rogers give him a challenge seriously? So he caught AA's chin before AA outboxed him. And yes AA would outbox him. Fedors chin is solid as gold. So the best challenges in strikeforce is a striker that has never faced adversity and overeem who has never won a big fight and also has a glass chin. Please..
