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.

No, the crowd went wild for Fedor DESPITE the fact that he's white. (Thanks, mainstream media!)
Fedor actually starred his opponent in the eyes.
This is not normal. We may have to chance the betting odds.
I'm sort of even rooting for him, knowing that the odds are definitely in Sweet Sassy's favour.
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.
