Fedor's 1st fight since signing with STRIKEFORCE will be against Brett Rogers. Now before all you Fedor nutt-huggers write off Rogers, keep in mind that guy has some real heavy hands. This is a guy who's hungry and wanting to face top competition as opposed to being spoon-fed crappy opponents like Kimbo Slice. It's not like Rogers hasn't faced top competition. Hell, he put my man Andrei Arlovski to sleep in 22 seconds. The same guy that had Fedor backpeddling at one point in their fight for Affliction.

Now I know Arlovski's chin has been deemed questionable, but Rogers is 4sure a top ten heavyweight and I think could give Fedor a fight that may actually go past the 1st round. Am I saying he's going to beat Fedor? Hell no! But I give the man a "punchers chance", if anything.

Also, you have to factor in that this will be Fedor's 1st fight inside a cage. History has shown/proven that fighters get a little caught off guard when making that transition. Some have not become accustomed to clinching up against the fence or using the fence to push off from when in someones guard. But then again, Fedor Emelianenko isn't some random fighter.

Props to STRIKEFORCE & M1-Global for making it happen.

Thoughts, anyone?

I have no thoughts on this....for, I do not know what you are referring to.....

Fedor will be beat when everyone thinks he won't.So yea it's a good chance for Mr. Rogers.(Not the hello neighbor rogers).Should be interresting

Well Fedor is the #1 ranked heavyweight but Rogers is #7 so really not so far off but at the same time in MMA in general the heavyweight devision is becoming less and less great but sticking to predictions Fedor is gonna knock him out in the 2nd round
