    Father time is going to beat him... It's amazing he is still winning. And man, he cuts too easily.. that sucks for him.. but he seems to overcome them.

    Little fatter is the sign of getting old. He doesn't seem as fast and as strong as he used to be. But he is just so talented that he overcomes adversity to win.

    I put 50 on Rodgers/ When they where in the ring felt Fedor looked fat...after the first round started to feel ok...the BOOM! BIG RIGHT HAND FIGHT OVER! Still worth it.

    What? the right hand he scored the knock out with was AS FAST as the multiple he landed vs Nog.
    He maybe is no more in his prime time, but he isnt getting old.

    I don't like Fedor, but he is fast for his fatness.

    I think we are witnessing the slow decline of Fedor... he is reaching to his mid 30's, most firghters are past prime by then. I think all Fedor's future fights will be competitive as he becomes more vulnerable.

    I think he was pissed because he let a small man like Fedor KTFO of him. He thought he would beat Fedor in striking.

    He always looks fat, nothing is new here guys. He is always in pretty much the same shape as he was for this fight, sometimes a bit better as in the Cro Cop fight a few years ago. And that right hand was about as fast and crsip as any I've ever seen him throw. I honestly don't think he's slowing down too much at all. Though that obviously wasn't his best performance, he's had quite a few where he's been put in bad positions before finding a way to win. Typical Fedor to me.

    Fedor won the fight comfortably. Yea, he wasn't rushing to finish the fight, but he was never in any danger. All rogers did was (1) land the jab (2) have a little flurry of GnP after which Fedor went for an armbar. That's it. Fedor won very comfortably. Sure he broke his nose and all but he still took it like a man.

    I would say any moment now.. he is finally not invincible. Age has crack his armor so it will take a very lucky fighter to do it. I thought Brett Rogers was going to be the lucky one. When he GnP fedor I thought that was it. But Fedor escapes and comes back at him. I think the punishment Fedor took woke him up and so next round fedor was focus and it was over.
