'Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers' Intro Video — No Empire Lasts Forever
(Props: shosports via Bloody Elbow)
Behold, the opening video for tonight's broadcast of Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers (CBS, 9 p.m. ET/PT). As Strikeforce doesn't have the rights to show clips from Emelianenko's last two Affliction fights, we have to settle for a montage of Sherdog photos soundtracked by Mauro Ranallo's high-pitched re-enactments. But we do dig the Citizen Kane-esque shots of Fedor perched in this throne in the middle of a broken-down warehouse. Is Rogers ready to take the crown. Or will his coup attempt end in a humiliating public execution?
Not that it matters much, but Emelianenko/Rogers will in fact be contested for Emelianenko's WAMMA heavyweight title. Said Vadim Finkelchtein: “Recognizing Fedor as the undisputed WAMMA heavyweight champion means that Fedor is the world champion wherever and whenever he fights.” Suck it, Overeem.

Wow.
I'm looking forward to Fedors/Rogers and Miller/Shields.
I think Rogers is going to pull an upset and Shielsd will retain the belt.

5:17 both of them make crazy eye contact at us.

Verdum could go for a liver punch and STILL hit that dude in the chin.
kellyman Says:
Looks like Sokoudjou knows what's coming... I think even he'll be impressed if he makes it to the second round.
I'm sort of even rooting for him, knowing that the odds are definitely in Sweet Sassy's favour.
Serpente Says:
Mousasi via murder Rd.1

I like how they emphasise "SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!" and don't mention Strikeforce, AT ALL. Maybe CBS doesn't want to advertise the promotion just incase they have another Elite XC situation, but I can't help but feel Coker might be getting the raw end of this deal.

Oh God! I totally forgot that we're going to have to suffer through Mauro's pathetic voice and completely worthless commentary during the fights tonight! Where is the Fight Professor, PLEASE bring him back!

busted_cranium Says:
Put a disproportionately small crown on Fedor nugget while he's sitting on that throne and you have a spitting image of King Hippo.
MachidaVsSilva Says:
Good card.
Walrus Says:
Whoa!!
Fedor actually starred his opponent in the eyes.
This is not normal. We may have to chance the betting odds.
RearNakedPoke Says:
Fedor and Miller FTW!!!!
knee_strike Says:
Wow. The crowd went wild for Fedor after his weigh-in. Then again, how could they not? The guy is so easy to like.
ben dover Says:
^^^because he's white right?
knee_strike Says:
^
No, the crowd went wild for Fedor DESPITE the fact that he's white. (Thanks, mainstream media!)
steampunk22 Says:
^^Bahahaha
Hope everyone has a good time watching the fights tonight! Hope we get a good show!
ElTerrible78 Says:
Fedor is easily one of the most likable guys in the sport. knee_strike cannot possibly be serious with that "despite the fact" comment. I do have to admit, however, that I was incensed (INCENSED, I tell you!) by the way Sokoudjou was looking at Mousasi. Lecherous.
Casa de los pan... Says:
no, because he's a little pudgey and seems cudly...
