I seriously hope this thread is some sort of sick joke. Do you really want too see Kimbo murdered that badly?
Man, I really don't get the antipathy that some of you guys are displaying towards Rogers' fighting ability. How the **** is Rogers like Kimbo? There's no way that Kimbo would have been able to get back to his feet after hitting the ground with Fedor, and there's no way that he would have survived that hook that Rogers ate in the first round. If you don't like the way that Rogers comforts himself, I understand that. Hell, I feel the same way. However, it's ridiculous to pretend that he was a total non-factor in there against Fedor. The guy exceeded a lot of people's expectations, and it's clear that he's a legit contender at HW.
I don't neccesarily mean in terms of ability, although I simply don't think he is a contender by any definition of the word at HW; he wouldn't even win TUF. He is worse than Nelson by a factor of 10. I mean in terms of arsenal; he has punches, harder than Kimbo but wider and with less head movement.
Kimbo comes across as a cool guy and a real gent! He has heart and he has significantly improved his all-round game but I would hate to see him in this fight and I don't think I ever will!
Brett Rogers could beat anyone in the UFC....The only one I'd favor over him is Lesnar and Rogers would be a live dog in that one, because of his concussive fists....he also knees well....
Kimbo needs to beat Roy Nelson at least before he can even be considered in the same breath as Fedor. Fedor is the reigning P4P and MMA heavyweight king and he needs worthy challengers at the very least. As much as I am a fan of Kimbo Slice - he is still new to the sport and needs to rack up some solid wins over a string of credible opponents before even being considered as a last minute substitute opponent for the Last Emperor. However- as a fight fan - I would love to see it and it would probably sell eight million PPV buys. I would predict Fedor by TKO because I think his overhand right will crumble Kimbo's bearded chin.
Roge's? I would bet against it. The fights on TUF make the fighters look worse than they are because they have less time to specifically train for an opponent and are mentally stressed for our entertainment. Nelson with a full training camp would simply take Rogers down and take the easiest opening to win from there.
