You are right on the money CJ. Fedor is the NEXT BIG THING in sports and that fight Saturday night was almost as good as the Hearns-Hagler fight at the Greensboro Coliseum back in the 80′s……

Ageed, Andy, Fedor reminds me of Mike Tyson from the 1980s, mainly in terms of sheer excitement and brute savage force. You could feel the electricity from the crowd come through the tv set. A spectacular ending from a spectacular fighter!

That female interpreter looked as if she had Gus Johnson a bit worried about his own safety. She might be the #2 contender behind Brett Rogers.

Why don’t they teach these guys to speak English. If we can learn to speak Spanish and French, why don’t they have the fighters take a few English classes in the morning before they hit their workouts in the afternoon.

We should not pay these champions until they can request their US Dollars by of US communication…..Fire the interpreter and hire an English teacher…..

Let’s not take anything away from Brett Rogers. He put up a great fight until he left himself standing wide open for that roundhouse from Fedor. As Bamm Bamm mentioned, Rogers was able to open up Fedor and I still have to believe that Fedor Emelianko is the greatest fighter in the world.

Fedor reminds me of a white Mike Tyson, back in Mike’s early days. Fedor is like a Russian tank. I had heard of him, but had never seen him before Saturday evening’s fight. CBS was fortunate to get this one into Prime Time and I hope they can get more of these….

Bring on Lesnar……….This would be better than a Starcade match with Nikita Koloff vs. Magnum TA…….

Does anyone still do wrestling on Thanksgiving evening??????Chris Plano or Tim Blaze/Woody where are you man?

I did watch the fight..because I had heard all the hoopla about Fedor and honestly wasn’t that impressed…..Rodgers handled him the whole fight before getting tagged with the one right hand. That was a pretty nasty gash that Fedor ended up with on his nose!! It was a good fight…but I think Lesnar would overpower him, although he’d have to stay away from submissions. If Fedor really wanted to prove himself, he’d have signed with UFC..not Strikeforce where the “legend” can continue to be built fighting tomato cans.

Fedor, with face bloodied, managed to case his strategically inferior opponent and ultimately prevail.

I don’t think (based on appearances) that he’d fare as well against his female interpreter.
