Miller had some great escapes though, and that was mostly what made it entertaining. Fedor vs Rogers seemed like it was called a bit too early, imo. I understand the situation he was in, and it's better to end it before he starts eating shots and gets seriously damaged, but I think that one could have went on for a few more seconds. Considering how badly the fight started for Fedor, I was amazed he came through. Looked like he broke his nose or almost did, and getting hit in the nose, let alone like that, leaves you feeling really dizzy and off balance. That's pretty much the summary of fedor's approach. He tricks people into thinking he's vulnerable and then uses certain insights he gained to know where they'll be and bam! This is why a lot of people say he's "lucky", because he always looks like he's "losing" before BAM! right in the kisser! In McCarthy's defense Rogers started turning around and covering his face. Like one of the commentators said about the Gegard Mousasi stoppage, if a) a fighter does not know where the punches are coming from and b) is not defending them then he's not intelligently defending himself. Given the fact that Rogers just got rocked and made ABSOLUTELY no attempt to stand up besides cover and roll means he failed to intelligently (and there's that KEY word INTELLIGENTLY) defend himself. | ||

You've been nothing but wrong in most of your arguments that YOU start, and you act like a jerk the entire time. You're an ass. Not even a funny one, you're just an ass. | ||

"Emelianenko will likely face Fabricio Werdum for a chance to challenge the missing-in-action Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem. Assuming the title is not vacated first." - from mmamania Fedor's translator was better than the previous one but she was not great, they can do better. Also I was pissed at all the commercials until i checked the timing, Strikeforce was pushing the fight back so Spike's UFC premiere would end first. Some viewership stealing tactics. | ||

If I remember correctly, Fedor has a 3 fight contract with Strikeforce. They need to kick that piece of shit Overeem out and just have Fedor fight Werdum for the belt. I seriously doubt any UFC HWs would move to Strikeforce, especially considering things are getting pretty competitive in the UFC HW division now. | ||

![[image loading]](http://k1legend.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/alistair.jpg) This is him now.. I remember him being a looottt lankier. Then again, that's him with a strikeforce belt and so he obviously looked like that last time he fought in USA. But damn. | ||

Overeem is becoming an animal. He beat Aerts and Badr Hari in K-1. However he's been fighting cans recently for no real fucking reason. However as coldlava said, Overeem will not pass a piss test. He's getting ridiculosly big and he has all the stereotype traits to prove it. His brother got busted for roids a while ago... all points to one thing imo. Theres a picture documenting his massive growth over the past 2 years... it's pretty telling really. Brett impressed me with his sub defence a lot. He should work his ground and pound in the future. Brett was in a potential tight armbar, and he caught the leg with his other arm and rolled away. That was quite slick, seeing as Fedor caught Coleman x2 + Hong man with that. He also powered out of a Kimura from side-mount. Very nice. Brett vs Werdum would be a good fight actually. Did anyone else notice strikeforce delibrately pushing it back so it was on after the UFC counter-programming? Maybe I'm looking in to it too much, but that's some clever work by the promoters. I told you all Fedor beats people at their own game. He tko'd the bigger more powerful striker, whilst standing. Everyone was expecting G and P or a sub. And food, shut up. You don't know a damn thing about MMA as you've clearly demonstrated. I'll happily call you out on everything you've said and make you look like an idiot. I genuinely get pissed off when people like you just claim to know everything about MMA and back it up with absoloutely fuck all. Oh and just one more thing, I've trained sambo for a few years now. The thing Fedor is throwing is not an overhand right. It's a sambo technique called a casting punch. You throw it from the hips and it's more of an indirect hook, so that if it misses you still have power in the wrist or even forearm should it hit. The point of it is it's a very fast powerful punch, and it's PERFECT to follow up with any sort of sambo throw. Notice how in the first round Fedor followed it up with a left casting punch/underhook throw. Because it's easy to fake the hook, as they immediately block the head. The hook position goes in deep around the body, and has all your power behind it. I think more Mixed marital artists should really look sambo up, It's easily the best training I've ever done. | ||
