Yes the cage will be diff for fedor, esp when and if he pins rogers against the cage, but although rogers has ko power, he has never really been hit so his chin still remains a question, also his cardio, he seemed to be getting a little winded in his fight with HH, if he had not fouled him by pulling his hair and landing those knees i think the fight may have lasted a little longer, also rogers ground game, he has never been tested by someone with a real ground game, tompson just had size, not really teck i remember dana and TS saying how he was to tall of a striker with great takedown def, all the shittalking he did and look what happened.

Brett needs to get some quality opponents under his belt before i call him a top 10 top fighter and although loseing to Fedor is nothing to be ashamed about he needs to get out of the go nowhere organization and get into the ufc where we can see him get tested with every fight out and see what he is really made of. But for now he is going to go out there and get schooled in mma by fedor for the breif time this fight will last and then he can get on with his career as an up and comer in the ufc and face guys like rothwell, gonzaga, crocop,ect then just maybe he will be seen as a somebody in the HW division.

Fedor's been in there with the best, he's been the smaller fighter in pretty much every fight and yet he's done nothing but kick AsS! The only problem I'll have with this is when Rodgers loses all the Fedor haters will say the Grim was nobody and was exposed as the next Houston Alexander. How can losing to Fedor instantly expose you as a has been or never been? Sylvia and Arlovski went from guys who were going to expose Fedor to has beens in seconds, personally I'm tired of the crap.

Now either Grim is just hyping things up or he is the stupidest man on the planet. As for brett saying Fedor hasn't faced anyone like him, thats obviouly bull and grim knows it. If this fight goes more then two minutes fedor wins easy.

Brett has one valid point in my opinion: Fedor has never competed in a cage. Other than that, none of Brett's comments shed any light on what technical weaknesses he will exploit to beat Fedor. Yes, Rogers has punching power, but as I've posted previously multiple times, I downloaded several of his fights before the Arlovski fight, and never saw any of his opponents push him in any way, or stand in and make Brett prove he can take a shot. If Rogers thinks he's going to escape unscathed in his match with Emelianenko, I think his confidence is escalating into serious delusional mania. Fedor is just a man, and as such, he can be beaten. This man however, is the most well rounded heavyweight in terms of his fighting skills that I've ever seen, with fearsome striking, good wrestling instincts honed in Sambo and judo, and submission knowledge that has earned him a preponderance of submission victories in his thirty wins. Brett Rogers has never been within ten miles of a man with skills even remotely in the league that Fedor inhabits. Doesn't mean Brett Rogers can't win, but even before I read this article and learned that he's not studying his opponent, not taking advantage of film to familiarize himself with Fedor's tendencies, and not acknowledging that he's never fought an opponent of such elite qualifications, I thought he had very small chance of winning, which sense this article only enhances. Talk is, always has been, and always will be cheap.

I have said it before and Im saying it again. Rogers has never fought someone with as much experience, skills, knowledge of mma and raw talent as Fedor. Fedor will win by rear naked choke at the begining of round 2. Rogers will wear himself out quick and Fedor will take advantage of that. Who in the world has brett fought except Arvloski.

You get fighters who are just huge, and are good at bullying around and using their size, and that alone can be enough. The days when technique trumps size are over, because everyone is atleast decently technical. There won't be anymore guys beating people who outweigh them by 60 pounds. I guess I shouldn't have said that's all he has going for him, since he does admittedly have very good control of his opponents and is very good at dictating where the fight goes. However, his biggest strengths are the ones he was given at birth. I reckon I'm relatively biased, because I think he's a tool, but he really is his biggest fan.
