    But let's pretend.

    Incidentally, it suddenly occurred to me that this comment is ironic coming from a man with a muppet avatar.

    In any event, carry on.

    I just watched a couple of highlight reels of him. The man has zero technique. None. He is big and strong, and that's it.

    Best case scenario, he turns out to be some kind of George Foreman of MMA, but I find that highly unlikely.

    I would probably just consider it a fluke loss if Fedor was to lose. From what I can tell, this fight is mainly about marketing Fedor to the ****** wrestling segment of the US.

    I wouldn't put him number one but he's gotta at least hit number 5 and up. And it would be very bad for Strikeforce

    If Rogers wins it will be because he hits like a mother****er.

    I don't think Fedor will take his time taking this fight to the ground, and think the fight will end quickly if that is the case.

    Still, no one is invincible. One shot from Rogers could unjustly make Fedor a mere footnote in the layman's mma memory.

    I need to know the odds of this fight. Might for the hell of it, but 20.00 on Rogers and hope for something crazy to happen.

    The betting lines are currently at Fedor -550
    and Rogers at +400

    Not a bad bet on Rogers considering his power

    Depends on how it happens, if it's a KO out of nowhere Fedor goes to #2 and Bock goes to #1; if it is a sustained and consistent beatdown Feorr would probably drop a little more. In the first Case Rogers enters the top 10
    , if it's the latter he goes mid top 10, against my better judgement.
