Roach maybe a great boxing coach, but he is also a guy who does not watch MMA nor does he care about the ground game. His idea is that the "crisp" boxing strikes and so forth are mixing from MMA plays into the hands of other MMA fighters. Maybe against Rogers this will work, but overall I think in the long run it will hurt Andrei, who already was one of the better strikers in the heavyweight division. And I wonder what this says for Afflictions card in August? I am a big Arlovski fan, but I have to say I think his training under Roach is ruining his career.

Have to take issue with the Arlovski/Rogers matchup however. Just watched some video on Brett Rogers, who is big, 6'5", 265, looks strong, but hardly impressive. The fights I saw he knocked out some regional/local level palookas who demonstrated heart but few skills. Overeem would have killed this guy, and Rogers seems fortunate Alistair got hurt. Not a great career move for Arlovski, looking to re-establish himself after the crushing knockout loss to Fedor. If he wins, he beats a guy who is 9-0, but undefeated against regional/local level guys, not the kind of victory that raises a fighter's profile to any great degree. If Rogers scores the puncher's chance KO, where does that leave Arlovski? Arlovski should cut this guy up with his speed and accuracy, and knock him out two minutes into round one, unless Rogers is cut in the Carwin mold with an iron jaw, and then who knows?

Heavy hands and AA's chin don't play well together. I think he can get the KO, as long as he doesn't get disqualified for grabbing Arlovski's beard. :D Agree with the rest of the posters here saying this is a magic card. So much to look forward to.

I'm with you on this card Joseph. It's a lot more stacked than most UFC cards. I'll be looking forward to this one. My prediction is Arlovski by 2nd round TKO. I’ve always heard ” The Last Emperor”.

Its great to hear AA is fighting again and against a beast like Rodgers. Every fight on this main card makes me want to see this event, looks like strikeforce is really working to be the best.
