Is Brett Rogers a black belt in Jui Jitsu? Does he have a ground game? NO. He will be submitted, Fedor has beaten guys that hit harder than him Cro Cop (prime), Mark Hunt :good and Sammy Shilt. Fedor isn't stupid, he will play possum then boom rear naked or Kimura from side mount.
It's less intriguing than the Lindland fight; it's completly below the level of fight Fedor should be fighting.
Looking at most of Rogers opponents.... it isn't surprising that he knocked them all out, tbh. Give him credit for the Arlovski win, but knocking out Arlovski isn't exactly something newly discovered. It was AA's 6th time being knocked out and he was coming off of his brutal knockout loss to Fedor. Look at this Roger's highlight.... look at his opponents... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqNDJCWVU3A
1st guy is Earl Guida. Clay's fat older brother who loves Guns -N- Roses. 2nd guy is Teen Wolf after he let himself go. 3rd guy is Sean Gannon's younger, fatter brother Al Gannon. 4th guy is Joe Riggs before he lost the weight.
Against Manhoef, Le and maybe one or two others, I would think about the ko. No one is expecting Rogers to ko Fedor, it just appears his only chance.
Its ridiculous to say that Lindland offerd Fedor anything more than Rogers, Rogers could end Fedor's night with one shot.
Lindland had sweet FA to offer Fedor. That was a fight i couldnt understand at all. Lindlands barely even a light heavy. It may aswell have been an exhibition bout.
