Thank God I have Showtime.

Bro why do you hate Fedor?? Honestly he is probably the most humble superstar in the sport. And not to mention one of the best well rounded fighters in the sport. You have to be joking thinking Rogers has a decent chance in this one. Don't waste your money. Fedor is going to destroy him and not "barely win" as you like to put it. Since you say you have only seen him fight the "UFC rejects" as you also like to put it, I will just chalk it up to you being uninformed. But those UFC Rejects were also the heavyweight champions in UFC, so what does that say about the UFC?

In all honesty we are all here to help each other make some money, so I am begging you, don't piss your money away on Rogers. Complete waste of money. You have a better chance of putting it on double 0 on roulette.

I thought it was going to be on CBS

Well I havent decided yet if Im going to throw my money away yet.

I dont think Fedor is as great as you think though, and the UFC rejects, although they might had been champs at one time, clearly they past there time so I am not impressed.

But clearly he is good, I guess Ill find out how good on the 7th

It's free Pabinator. All good.

Very nice card.

TheGovernor11 · 10-10-09, 03:42 PM

It is going to be on CBS. And whoever said Fedor by armbar I agree. He doesn't need to be on bottom to get it. He'll get Rogers down, move to his back, and then transition from there.

brooks85 · 10-11-09, 06:28 PM

Saw the first promo for the event today while i was watching nfl. CBS is going to have a problem hyping this fight, UFC owns all of fedors relevant fight film.

Eccocide · 10-11-09, 06:53 PM

The fact that it is the middle of October and they just finalized the main card, and haven't done any real promoting is very dissappointing. CBS really doesn't know what they are doing when it comes to MMA.

Pabinator · 10-12-09, 11:32 AM

Does UFC really own some of his fight films? Wow Dana White's good

Eccocide · 10-12-09, 11:37 AM

Yes. UFC bought the Pride library and took over the Affliction library recently as well. Expensive purchases though lol.

Bread · 10-12-09, 11:52 AM

Saw a commercial for it yesterday during football. Pretty weak ad, but still an ad.

vassman86 · 10-12-09, 02:10 PM

Looking forward to this event. Fedor is in line for another easy win and big pay check. Load up on him, watch the fight, and count your money later lol

Eccocide · 10-12-09, 06:46 PM

Hopefully one day we will see this!

brooks85 · 10-12-09, 06:51 PM

haha

Since the UFC cant counter with a live event due to some card adjustments (ahhhem, Rampage), they are going with a new show called UFC Main Events. Dunno how much they will pull from live fights on network TV, but if CBS continues with its weak advertising, ppl might tune into this.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/16562/ufc-main-event-special-debuts-nov-7-on-spike-tv-counters-strikeforce-event.mma

Going head to head with Strikeforce's CBS debut and its headliner between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers, the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Spike TV debuts its "UFC Main Events: Couture vs. Nogueira" special on Nov. 7.

Spike TV Vice President of Sports and Specials, Brian J. Diamond, revealed news of the special on today's edition of MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).

The two-hour special features four major bouts from 2009, including Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102, that have never previously aired on free television.

The special airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Other bouts featured on the special include Vitor Belfort vs. Rich Franklin from UFC 103, as well as B.J. Penn vs. Kenny Florian and Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin from UFC 101.

"We always get calls from the UFC about some great programming they want us to air all the time," Diamond said. "And we love it. The fans love it."

The special is the latest counter-programming move for the UFC, which often airs fights (both taped and live) to go head to head with a rival organization's offering. Strikeforce is a frequent target, and the now-defunct Affliction Entertainment also dealt with the UFC's counter-programming.

The same night as "UFC Main Event," Strikeforce holds its first-ever CBS-televised event. The show takes place near Chicago at the Sears Center with Emelianenko vs. Rogers, Jason "Mayhem" Miller vs. Jake Shields (for the organization's vacant middleweight title) and two other bouts.

Diamond, though, said this latest offering is just one of many in the works.

"We have some more stuff planned that we'll announce in the next few weeks that will take place by the end of the year," he said.

I guess I can understand some of the haters that are new to MMA and haven't seen Fedor in his Pride days! Its not his speed or power that is so freakish...its the ability to totally ignore pain and never get flustered in battle! The man was power slammed on his neck by the roid freak Kevin Randleman and kicked directly in the jaw several times by CroCop in his heyday only to shake them off easily! The average fighter is laid out for atleast 5 minutes by either one of those! Only Father time will beat Fedor...maybe in another 4-5 years? Hopefully he'll destroy Lesnar by then!

The HOFF · 10-25-09, 02:33 AM

Brett Rogers +330
Fedor Emelianenko -410

Jason Miller +220
Jake Shields -280

Rameau Sokoudjou +330
Gegard Mousasi -410

Antonio Silva +145
Fabricio Werdum -175

TheGovernor11 · 10-25-09, 02:35 AM

Initial reaction here. Bet Fedor, Mayhem, and Silva.

southmadejd · 10-30-09, 01:18 PM

^^^Dude Mousasi is free money also. If there are any prop bets, take Mousasi finishing Sokodjou in the first round.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 10-30-09, 02:40 PM

Fedor better watch out, or Rogers may do to him what Randleman did, watch it close Fedor barely survived

TheGovernor11 · 10-30-09, 02:44 PM

Haha great video. Never seen that one before.

Pabinator · 10-30-09, 03:09 PM

Is anyone taking Rodgers?

GoGoGadget · 10-30-09, 03:18 PM

Sweet video

Bread · 10-30-09, 04:39 PM

hahahha...amazing how time stood still as they reached the heavens and the clock remained at the same place when they landed.

Hey wait a minute! Is this fake???

urge2kill · 10-30-09, 06:11 PM

Awesome video.

Rogers has less than a 10% chance. -500 is free money.

Pabinator · 10-30-09, 06:49 PM

I think he has a 35.8% chance

southmadejd · 10-30-09, 06:50 PM

If anything, that video shows how resilient Fedor is in the face of adversity. Honestly, he got slammed on his neck, a slam that would have at least dazed a good bit of other people, but instead he winds up submitting Randleman less than 1 minute later.

Lol....wait I just actually watched the video.....awesomeness.

brooks85 · 10-30-09, 09:10 PM

ill be putting a max parlay on fedor/mousasi

shady610 · 10-31-09, 06:14 AM

mayhem may be worh a small wager. For some reason i cannot accept Shileds as a top fighter. I thinkg he is highly overrated and it hurts my ears when he talks about being ready for st pierre

shady610 · 10-31-09, 06:15 AM

Overall i think this could be a very good show and i plan to watch this and tape the ufc event since it will have the couture vs nog match that i havent seen since i saw it live

teaserpleaser · 10-31-09, 06:59 AM

anybody who wants mayhem we can make a points bet hes going to get spanked. (PM me close to fight time)

RobbReport · 10-31-09, 08:41 AM

i'm parlaying the shit out of mousasi/fedor/vera
