^ ^ I was wondering if I missed it while I was getting a beer.
You've got to show The Fedor entrance, right?
Abortion of a presentation I tell ya'; the camera work was pretty in' shotty as well.. I shouldn't . It was free.
By the way anyone know where to find the entrance to both Fedor and Rogers, it was on commercial for like 5 minutes.

Rogers only reopened a cut on Fedors nose that he had intially incurred in training. Fedor was playing with the blood/cut while he was on his back right before Rogers landed those GnP punches.
Fedor has a great gas tank and his power and subs are just so good you felt heading into RD 2 it was only going to be a matter of time..
That KO was highlight reel stuff..
Really good fight, good night of fights overall, a successful show for Strikeforce IMO
We'll see what the ratings are..
It never gets old for me.....

Card was really good. UFC cards are not that good.
Gegard is top3 lhw
Fedor!
Unbelivable, having the preassure of being a myth and unbeaten? Still staying cool and relaxed in a fight. Wow, this guy is amazing.
he's lost once hasnt he?
He didnt lost. Kosaka beat him by a fluke cut less than 20 seconds into the fight. Fedor would have won that fight. It was 10 years ago and it was around his 4 or 5th pro fight i think.
Sorry for the triple post, but Hendo would smash Shields/Miller to pieces if he ever came to Strikeforce at 185
Awesome card, imo. Fedor is a ing stud, I love him. I was impressed with Rogers and was about to pronounce myself a fan, until... he opened his stupid ass mouth. Way to make a compete ass out of yourself. Way to be an ungrateful loser. IF you get a rematch, I hope Fedor breaks your arm off and jams it up ypur cram hole, wad.
What a buffoon.
Entertaining card, I wonder how Dana will spin it.
Gay-hard looked pretty intense, but as the fight went on he looked less and less dangerous, but so did his opponent.
I wish Miller could have done more in the initial rounds when he was against the cage. Shields knew exactly how to win and even though it's not an exciting way to do it, he stayed disciplined. Too bad Miller's standup kept getting neutralized, but I dug the fight overall.
Fedor is the best fighter in the world. He is not shaken by pressure or injury. He doesn't think about scoring points. He fights in the moment and he simply punishes people. Rogers has future for sure, looking forward to his next fight.
Exciting fight.. Fedor did look a little uncoordinated in in the octagon.
I just got done reading every post since the Fedor fight and could someone PLEASE explain what went down after the fight? What was Rogers doing that was so bad? I want details people, PLEASE. All yalls posts have made me super curious
Oh, and did anyone else see espn's bull highlights of the fight? First of all, they didn't even give the results on the bottom line. And when they did show the highlights, it was just a quick replay! ONCE! They literally showed the knockout without any replay and then Fedor raising his hand and that was it!
No. He lost to a technicality on an illegal hit. He didn't lose so much as get screwed by ed up rules in a small time Japanese show.
Fedor is amazing.
The bad thing is Fedor broke his hand...again. You have to wonder how much damage it can take before his career is over.
Jason Miller did a lot better job than I thought props to him. Gegard Mousasi is one of my favorite fighters, and I really though Sokoudjou did a good job. I even saw some of his judo! The Silva-Werdum fight was good, and Brett Rogers did a whole lot better than I thought, and Fedor introduced himself the right way to US fans. As posted above, that was a very successful show!
Just saw it again, Fedor was great last night really great. He got hit with a good shot to open up the fight and was pressed up against the cage but never panicked, went for Subs attempts, made Rogers tired and then at RD 2 finished him off. I was more impressed watching it again..
"Fedor Emelianenko suffered a broken nose and injured his left hand during his heavyweight bout with Brett Rogers Saturday at Strikeforce/M-1 Global "Fedor vs. Rogers," Sherdog.com has learned from a source close to the fighter's camp.
The nose break isn't an issue worth much concern but the hand breaks remain a major problem for Fedor. In combat sports hand breaks tend to repeat often due to repeated stress to the same bones that have already broken once and have weakened. Fedor's style of punching which involves a lot of landing with the thumb and index finger rather than the knuckles of the index/middle finger leads to a lot more injuries.
There is no word yet on how long this will keep Fedor on the shelf but he has been out up to ten months in the past for similar injuries."

Less than what the last EliteXC show pulled in Kimbo outdrew Fedor..
Let me add that while the overall production value of SF is good they have to get new announcers. Frank Shamrock isn't too bad, but Gus Johnson the play by play never shuts the up. He talks so much and never lets the fight happen. He was telling a sap story about Rogers upbrining just seconds before Fedor KO'd him. Get rid of him please..
No uhhhhh NO....
