Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Fedor night in America. The Last Emperor show has come to the Chicagoland Area, and his dance partner for this evening will be lead-fisted work-doer Brett "The Grim" Rogers, who’s just itching for a chance to snatch that king spot. Also: MTV personality Jason "Mayhem" Miller fights Jake Shields for Strikeforce’s first middleweight title, large-skulled bruiser Antonio Silva squares off with grappling ace Fabricio Werdum, and Gegard Mousasi will toy with Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou for a while before damn near ending his life.
My name is BG, and I’ll be your guide for the evening. I’m currently chillin’ in the press pen at the Sears Centre, and I can already tell you that Fedor’s entrance music will be unbelievably Russian. Live results from the CBS broadcast can be found after the jump, beginning at 8 p.m. CT. Refresh the page every few minutes to get all the latest. Warning: The show may not be broadcast live in your area, so check your local listings before you go running headlong into spoilers.
Special thanks to Neal Taflinger and E. Casey Leydon for keeping me company before the event. Princes among men, the both of them.

Roxanne Modafferi vs. Marloes Coenen
I think this is worth a proper play-by-play. Modafferi comes out to some insanely peppy J-pop. Thankfully, she seems to have her exitable energy under control at the moment. Coenen is steely-eyed, and has a rose garden tattoed on her ribs. Holy crap, her thousand-yard stare during the faceoff has me intimidated. She’s in another world right now.
Round 1: Coenen with a hard teep. She gets the better of Roxy in a striking exhange, landing a big knee. Coenen punches Roxy to the mat, but Roxy manages to get on top in the ground-scramble, and tries to get her bearings in Coenen’s guard. Coenen grabs the armbar and finishes it with ease. Coenen bows to the crowd. Roxy manages to work up a smile for her opponent.
Coenen def. Modafferi via submission (armbar), 1:05 of round 1
There was a fight scheduled between Mark Miller and Deray Davis for the prelims, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening. Swing bout, maybe.
And it’s time to get this party started…
Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Silva
Bigfoot’s jaw is ready for war. He’ll have a four-inch reach advantage here. Both fighters get a nice pop from the crowd. Did they show the EA MMA preview yet? We aren’t getting much on the screens in the arena…though Miguel Torres and Clay Guida are currently in spitting distance, so that makes up for it.
Round 1: Werdum whiffs a head kick. They clash with punches. Silva lands a left. Werdum gets rocked coming forward, and Silva hacks him to the ground with punches. Bigfoot laying on the GnP, but Werdum grabs onto a leg to slow down the abuse, and makes his way to his feet. Leg kick Werdum. Werdum punched again coming forward. Werdum misses another head kick and comes in for a clinch. Werdum tries to take it to the ground, but Silva avoids and lets Werdum back up. Nice 1-2 combo from Werdum, and he clinches. Werdum punches him off. Werdum with a punch, kick, and clinch. They separate and Werdum lands another good punch. Silva with a leg kick. They tie up against the fence. Silva with a hard elbow and Werdum goes down. Silva follows, then thinks better of it and lets Werdum up. There’s the horn. I’d say 10-9 Silva for dropping Werdum twice.
Round 2: Werdum comes in slugging, but gets dropped by a Silva counter-punch. Werdum upkicking. Silva standing above him, deciding what to do. He goes in, and Werdum immediately reverses his big ass. Silva escapes from the bottom and takes a knee on the way up. Silva clinches and pushes Werdum against the fence. They hold each other in a stalemate until the ref separates them. Silva clinches again and they’re back against the fence. Werdum tries some dirty boxing, then takes Silva down with a single-leg. Werdum in half-guard. He passes to side control. Silva escapes and tries to scramble out, and Werdum grabs a leg. Silva slips out and the round ends.
Round 3: Leg kick Werdum. Silva returns it. Werdum slips a punch but eats a knee. Werdum misses an uppercut and clinches. They separate. Werdum nails the single-leg takedown and starts his own ground-and-pound campaign on Silva’s back. Silva crawls to the cage and almost gives up his neck, but returns to his feet. Silva lands a nice punch combo, and Werdum returns a knee to the dome. Werdum with a knee from the thai clinch against the fence. Werdum with a short right. Werdum seems to hurt Silva with a knee and the big man goes down. Werdum on Silva’s back again, throwing punches. Silva rolls, and Werdum is in half guard. He tries for an arm-triangle choke, and goes back to punching when it doesn’t pan out. And the last bell sounds. Easy 10-9 for Werdum. This could be a close one…
Fabricio Werdum def. Antonio Silva via unanimous decision (29-28 x 3)
We all knew Werdum was a sick grappler, but I was surprised how sharp his standup looked. Good show against a tough opponent.
Gegard Mousasi vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Round 1: Gegard throws his hands up, Diaz style. Soko comes in with a fast leg kick. High kick Mousasi. Soko with a body kick. He fires an uppercut. Mousasi stalking, and gets popped with a left hook, but kicks Soko in the nuts at the same time. Soko takes a quick break, then Gegard brushes his nuts again, and Soko takes another couple seconds. No warning from the ref, strangely. Nice leg kick from Soko, and again. Mousasi rushes in with punches, but Soko scores a takedown and gets on top. He wraps an arm around Mousasi’s neck, and Mousasi reverses him, getting into half guard and throwing knees. Soko gets out and gets on top of Mousasi against the fence. He almost locks in a guillotine, but settles for a knee to Mousasi’s head. He tosses Mousasi to the ground, and Mousasi trips him to the ground with his feet (!) and gets on top to close the frame.
Round 2: Mousasi stalks forward and clinches. Soko pushes Mousasi against the cage. Mousasi throwing knees into Soko’s legs. Dirty boxing from both guys, and Mousasi starts teeing off. Soko throws back a few of his own and they clinch again. Soko gets Mousasi to the ground and lands in half-guard. Mousasi uses Soko’s arm to reverse him, and the crowd politely applauds. My God this educated crowd! Mousai throwing down heat from above. Soko turtles, and it’s over. Much tougher fight for Sweet Sassy than we all anticipated, but his skill on the ground eventually won the day.
Gegard Mousasi def. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou via TKO, 3:43 of round 2.
Jake Shields vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller
Avowed atheist Jason Miller comes out in priestly robes, then tosses them off to get down with his hoochie-squad. He just beat up the bully that is boredom. Jake Shields is drawing a rather unfair amount of boos. Miller’s style is listed as "Slap Boxing." Jerry Millen’s haircut passes in front of me, followed by Jerry Millen himself.
Round 1: Shields shoots and plows Miller into the cage. Mayhem is on his ass, trying to extricate himself. Shields is on him like an octopus. He gets Mayhem’s back, and throws some punches into the side of Miller’s head. Miller rolls and Shields is on top in mount. But Miller powers his way up. Shields tries to drag him back to the mat, and succeeds. Shields throws some punches into Miller’s ribs, and Miller gives a "big freakin deal" gesture to the crowd. He’s clearly not happy with how this is playing out. Miller gets to his feet, then picks Shields up and slams him. Miller in Shield’s guard. He gets up and tries to throw down a death blow, but Shields dodges it and gets out. Miller grabs him for another body slam. Miller sets up on Shields’s back as the round ends.
Round 2: They clinch, exchanging knees. Miller grabs Shields’s back, and pulls him to the ground, but Shields works his way on top of Miller. Miller nearly escapes, but Shields takes Miller’s back in a scramble. Miller escapes, and they’re tangled on the mat, Shields setting up a crucifix variation from the bottom. Shields transitions to top position. Miller rolls and Shields almost sinks in the rear-naked choke. Miller escapes, gets to his feet, and goes back in. Shields looks for a leg lock. Miller gets on top and the round ends. Interesting to see Miller holding his own with Shields in a grappling battle.
Round 3: Miller scores the takedown, but Shields is quickly on his feet. Shields takes Miller down and lands in side-control. He scores mount, but Miller wriggles out and Shields goes back to half-guard. Mount again. Shields fires down some punches. Miller rolls and Shields is on his back. Miller reverses. He gets up and throws a spinning backfist. They clinch on the fence, and Big John pauses the action for Miller’s glove to be retaped. McCarthy starts them back in the clinch position, and Shields gets another takedown. Miller gets up briefly before they’re back on the ground again. Miller takes Shields’s back and wraps up the rear-naked choke. Shields is doomed — but the horn saves him!
Round 4: Mayhem attacks with strikes. Shields scores another takedown and the crowd boos. Shields has Miller pressed against the cage, but isn’t doing much. The crowd chants "Miller." Big John stands ‘em. Miller rushes in with some nice knees, but Shields quickly gets it back to his comfort zone. He transitions to side control, then mount. Shields looking for the arm triangle. Miller bucks out, but Shields takes his back. Miller rolls again and almost escapes. Shields stays on him, and gets back into side control. He throws some punches to the side of Miller’s head, and the round ends.
Round 5: They come out boxing. Miller shakes off a takedown attempt. Shields lands it this time, but Miller pops back up, with Shields on his back. Shields pulls him back down and scores mount. Miller rolls and Shields is on his back. Shields softening him up with punches. They sit up and Shields tries to sink the choke, but Miller reverses. Miller tries for a guillotine, but Shields pulls out and moves to side control. Miller gets up, Shields stays on his back and drags him down. Miller gets up, throws some punches, and shakes off a takedown attempt as the last horn sounds. Shields probably won the fight, but he certainly didn’t win the crowd.
Jake Shields def. Jason Miller via unanimous decision (48-47, 49-46 x 2)
The new Strikeforce middleweight champion makes his way through the crowd. Many of the fans in attendance inform him that he sucks.
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers
And Rogers is getting booed too? Chicago got no love for an underdog. He looks around, taking it all in. Mike Reilly slaps the shit out of Grim to remind him where he is. And what did I tell you about Fedor’s entrance music? Midnight is upon us. The arena goes dark. The crowd is blood-crazy.
Round 1: They both swing. Fedor catches Grim off balance and tosses him to the mat. Rogers gets up and clinches with Fedor against the fence. Rogers grabs the cage, and Big John warns him. Fedor pushes off and lands a monster left, rocking Rogers. Fedor takes him to the mat and starts pounding. Rogers locks Fedor’s body down, slowing the punishment. Rogers reverses and gets in Fedor’s guard, then starts firing down. Fedor almost gets the armbar. He escapes and gets back on top of Rogers. Fedor sets up the arm-triangle, but Rogers slips out. Rogers kicks Fedor off. Fedor dives in with a punch, landing in Rogers’s guard. The first round ends, and it was a thriller.
Round 2: Fedor comes in with an overhand right then clinches. He gets some distance and starts throwing bombs. They clinch again. Fedor pushes Rogers off after taking a knee. Fedor lands the overhand right from hell and it is fucking over. Right on the button. Fedor throws a few more shots on the ground to finish it, but it’s already done.
Fedor Emelianenko def. Brett Rogers via TKO, 1:48 of round 2
Fedor says Brett Rogers is a great opponent and would actually accept a rematch with him. He says the victory was for everybody. What a guy.
Rogers says he’s coming back stronger ("see what I’m saying?"). He says he would gladly take that rematch. (LOFL.) He says he should have thrown his hands a lot more.
And that’s the show. I’m off to the press conference. We’ll talk more later…

Some dirty fighting going on early, let's try to keep it clean on live TV fellas.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:08
Haha shows how shitty of an organization they are by housing such idiotic fighters that cant follow the simplest of rules. Fucking inferior retards..
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:37
Fedor!!!!
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:41
So Coenen ... not just a pretty face.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:42
What's a teep?
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:48
Poor Roxy. ;___;
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:50
No disrespect meant to Rogers here but what does Fedor have to gain by winning this fight? I would think he has a lot more to lose. I mean if he does lose then...oh my...but if he wins then it's "oh, what did you expect, he was fighting Brett Rogers."
Sat, 11/07/09 - 05:58
A teep is a front kick. Oh yeah, and poor Roxy....
Sat, 11/07/09 - 06:12
A teep is Goldie's favorite strike to call in the first round of every fight.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 06:13
"Boetch with the teep"
Sat, 11/07/09 - 06:22
I thought a teep was a push-kick???
Sat, 11/07/09 - 06:40
It looked like Werdum was going to get beat retarded in the first round. Nice recovery. Sylva's skull should have horns or tusks just like nature intended. That thing looks bulletproof.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:11
Why does Mayhem have to try so hard? He reminds me of a gay Jim Carey. Oh, and his intro was a complete rip off of my boy Genki Sudo.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:11
Mayhem Via Two and a Half Men.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:44
At 5:00 of the 5th round, your winner, via dominant position, Jake Shields!
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:44
Shields Deserved to get booed, Hate that prick.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:47
The only dude that applauded Shields was Lay-n-Clay Guida.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:51
Fucking Shields. That was terrible. Worst fight ever. 10 more seconds in round 3 and Shields taps? Anyone else hear Big John say "he did not tap" at the end of round 3 when the camera was panning away? Wonder if Miller thought he did?
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:52
GSP would crush Shields - that is all.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 07:53
See my thread in the forum to join the "Jake Shields need to stick to grappling competitions" bandwagon...

Done.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:17
my lord
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:18
Fedor by fastball! Devastating. The post-fight interviews are always a bad idea - even more so when a translator is involved. Not a bad job by CBS on the whole. Good fight by Rogers...lots of potential.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:18
Damn, we need to see Fedor vs. Anderson Silva at about 215. Seriously....Fedor vs. Anderson Silva.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:22
Jesus, Fedor hit Rogers so hard the next time he has sex with his wife he'll ejaculate out of his ass. That was one of the loudest punches I've heard.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:23
WOW... If you blinked you would've missed that punch
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:24
Go Fedor!!!! Eat that DANA! AND SUCK A DICK TO BITCH!!!!
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:24
Say what you will, the cage worked against Fedor's size. The surgically implanted uranium in his fist saved his ass.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:24
I enjoyed the fights very much but got pissed when I keep seeing my girl friends hair straightener hanging front of the tv. then she pointed out that it wasnt her straightener and that it was actually a mic hanging in the ring, and then I got pissed every time the camera man wanted to check out the fine quality of the refs shirt instead of the fucking fight
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:24
Holee shit!! that was awesome!!!!!! Fedor throws some heat I love it had me nervous though. minus shields lay n pray if that 3rd round was about 4 seconds longer he would of lost.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:24
Jesus Titty F%&king Christ at the commercials! Wait, it was free, I retract my statement.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:26
Fedor doesnt offer much in the stand up kinda reminds me of tyson griffin throwing over hands
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:27
The amount of commercials before the main event was fucking ridiculous, it was literally 15 minutes of straight commercials. But what the fuck ever, Fedor for free so I'm fine with it. And damn that punch was on the money.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:29
Jake Shields isnt exactly an interesting fighter but over all that was a bad ass show. Post fight interviews sucked balls... dude looked like he was worried about getting beat down.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:39
hells to the yeah
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:42
"Fedor bleeds to give a false sense of hope" by kmeyers
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:43
Rogers has nothing to be ashamed of. He did a great job. Fedor's right hand is fucking brutal.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:50
bartender was a boxing fan. told him if he remembered tyson from the 80's he needed to watch fedor tonight. "all tyson would need is one punch" all he'd get is one. game over.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:50
Fedor's punch was so fucking sweet. That was amazing. He jumped into Roger's chin. Mayhem Miller is from "Parts Unkown" apparently I don't really like the fact that you can be saved by the bell. They should have a rule to let it go a few more seconds if it looks like the fighter is done for.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:56
That was the most danger Fedor has faced and it was due to the fact that his opponent was able use to use his size and trap Fedor against the cage. Brett actually dominated in the clinch. Gimme a fuckin break. Fedor should drop twenty lbs or stay in the ring. I hate to be the asshole who says it, but the UFC's giant wrestlers look real good against the Last Emperor right now. Great card by the way. Kudos Strikeforce.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 08:57
Did anyone ever think that Strikeforce might have decided after the 5 round Shields/Miller fight that it would be wise to wait the extra 10 minutes for the UFC's counter programming to be over at 11 along with having the highest viewed portion of their broadcast in the overrun which increases your overall ratings for the event? I figured that was pretty obvious.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:00
you're right i bet strikeforce totally was in the driver's seat with running commercials and eliminating the entrances from the broadcast.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:03
BIIIITICH PLEASE ....You left out the whole section of the fight when rogers busted fedors face and he bled everwhere or when rogers topped fedor and everyone held their breathe as he cut into in him....Dont act like fedor came out and just dominated him you lying sack of shit. And yes if fedor fought the 88 tyson in a boxing match he would lose you cant hit tyson with that wide looping ass shit ...fedor is good in mma in this era. Next thing you know yall see mothersfuckers talking about fedor beatin ali keep dreaming
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:04
Miller got robbed. If a fight goes to a decision, and one player has been saved by the bell, he should lose by default. No matter what.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:04
Holy Moses sodomizing rabbi!! That was a pretty nice card, Jake Shields/BJJ nothwithstanding. Ever watch BJJ mundials or Abu Dhabi? It aint the most exciting shit in the world so let's not act surprised. But Mayhem should be getting more gigs with Strikeforce after this. Rogers did much better than I thought and he took a vicious punch in the 1st that I was impressed he took that well. It was a loss but his stock went up. I cant wait to see him against Bigfoot. Was the Fedor nose broken or just cut? The commercials werent a problem since for most of the two hours they were running only one at a time. That Ninja trailer was long (and dark) as hell though. The graphics of the EA MMA game look sweet. And Gus and Mauro werent even annoying (except for Mauro's head bobbing in the pre-fight segment) but that could be maybe just the giddiness of a Rogan or Rutten free card. Let's hope CBS is happy with the numbers and we get more free MMA on regular TV. Now its off to MMA-Core to catch all the Sengoku 11 fights.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:07
The Wyatt quick recap Not losers, just second place... Roxy - less video games Silva - Back to Japan and steroids buddy! Soku - Judo tournaments only from now on Miller - Win via RNC 0:00:01 3rd Round, watch the replay Rodgers - Grow up, you got caught by the best, keep your left up. 500 bonus points for the 15 second sound dump for cursing streak on CBS Winners... Coenen - Sick Skills and classy good looks. Call me? Werdum - Can you drop to light heavy finally? Mousasi - Too good to even be bothered with training for Soku apparently... Shields - Lay and Pray at it's very worst. Not once was close to finishing that fight IMO. Boring. Fedor - "I think he's loading up that right haOHMYGOD!" someone call Chris Tucker and have him fire up the catch phrase...
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:08
rings, pride, affliction, wamma, strikeforce. who will be the next to fall: overeem or white?
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:08
Ya man, I saw that EA MMA game commercial and I was like DAAAAAMN!...
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:10
Fedor didn't look like he had a broken nose. It looked like a cut. But one of the spokemen said the MD said it was broken.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:22
Rogers was not as one dimensional as I thought, he looked good on defense and threw heat. He even threw good knees in the clinch. The bitching in the end was shitty though, he took a shot to the jaw and got dropped, nuff said. And fuck Ali, one sambo throw and he would be screaming for the bow-tie brigade to rush the ring with switchblades and Browning Hi-Powers to save his cocksucking N.O.I ass.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:34
i hate when people talk shit like boxers would beat MMA fighters i hear it all the time you can't compare the two. its two completely different sports. Its like comparing ice Hockey and figure skating. You might be the best Figure skater, ice skater in the world your not gonna be able to play in the NHL or beat a single NHL player. just like A hockey player wouldn't be good at figure skating.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 09:47
One long time boxing fan that I know admits that MMA is more like fighting than boxing ever will be. That gives way to the ultimate question: Who's badder, the baddest boxer or the baddest fighter? I'll take the baddest fighter every time.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 10:01
It was refreshing to watch fights without having to listen to Mike Goldberg either discussing other fights and fighters or asking Joe Rogan, "Can he finish it here?" Also Mousasi's trip at the end of rd. 1 was beautiful.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 10:09
ps - fedor can start cutting to 205 when he starts losing at 265. until then... the superheavyweights have nowhere to hide.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 10:42
i allmost forgot about that trip that was sweet gonna have to go back on the ol DVR and check it out. i just watched fedor land that bomb like 15 times you can hear the smack louder than shit Awesome!
Sat, 11/07/09 - 10:43
The superheavyweights are all hiding in the UFC. I love Fedor; but Brock, Shane, Cain, Nog, and Mir would fuck The Grimm in his ass. The cage negates Fedor's range and attack. Don't forget that. I loved the show, but Roger's biggest victory before tonight was a suspect Arlovski. Fedor didn't beat the number two heavyweight tonight, remember that. Imagine a real grappler with Brett's strength pushing the action to the cage. It could have been a lot messier for the Emperor.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 11:21
SON! Fools get rocked in the windy city. Jake Shields just proved how much of a one dimensional fighter he is. And that one dimension happens to be the absolute worst to have. What a tool. Im also laughing my ass off right now at all the money lost by the tools that bet against Fedor.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 11:29
Shields sucked that one out. Lame. Miller should have done more. I gave Miller a 10/8 round for the solid rear-naked choke, which left me with a draw. But it was Miller's fight to lose in my opinion. Fedor had that perfectly timed. I give a lot of props for Brett Rogers. That was an amazing round. He should be proud. I'm definitely a fan and will be watching him in the future. I'm not so sure he should take a quick rematch.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 11:30
Sheilds vs Fitch needs to happen. Let the Fedor nuthugging and bashing begin! Nuthugging +1.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 11:35
It's FEDOR TIME INDEED!!! That shot sounded like a fat guy doing a belly flop off an olympic diving platform, and by the way I'd give it a 10. Sweet dreams Brett "NO CLASS" Rogers, and you don't half to check under the bed for the Boogie man - he got scared off by the sound your face made when Fedor touched you up with one of his Overhand MURDERBALLS!!! After the fight I was thinking Rogers is A LOT better than i thought in regards to Gas in the tank, Ground &Pound, and the Clinch, but then he opened his cocksucker and acted like he just lost a close descision or something...... I wonder if that stutter is gonna be permanent?
Sat, 11/07/09 - 11:37
There has always been nuthugging towards him. I still think Anderson Silva has the best chance at beating Fedor. Anderson walks around at about 220. The two best fighters in the world at almost the same weight? Uh yea that shit would be bold as fuck.
Sat, 11/07/09 - 11:37
"Nuthugging" + 2
Sun, 11/08/09 - 12:05
i have decided to give a nickname to tonight's new MW champ - Jake "THE SNUGGIE" Shields.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 12:22
I agree. Shields victory was about as decisive as a Freshman boy that's too scared to take his pants off, so he just keeps dry humping his girlfriend instead, and then handles his business in the hall bathroom after she leaves and says to himself "Yeah, I got Laid sort of"
Sun, 11/08/09 - 12:24
Great card. If StrikeForce can keep up that kind of quality they could actually compete with UFC. Fedor clearly won but I was disappointed that Big Jon didn't make him finish it. Rogers had a wing up and looked ready to defend himself. BJ walked in and stopped from behind without ever looking into the man's eyes. I think Rogers deserved atleast that much with what he had shown up to that point.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 12:42
Fedor had me scared for a second there but that was probably the best knockout punch of his career. Looked way better than that wild swing he somehow landed on Arlovski's glass chin.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 01:48
Mousasi Vs Machida. That's all I have to say. P.S: I thought Sokudjou (I am not gonna check spelling) looked pretty friggin good against an opponent from hell. He looked better than he did against Machida.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 01:53
Maybe I am paranoid, but go back and watch Fedors fights from the Pride years... Does it seem like there is a pattern of (1) Fedor comes out looking slow and sloppy... (2) Fedor gets rocked and/or in trouble... (3) Fedor kills opponent in a flash and doesnt appear to have expended any energy, or even realize he is in a fight. Just sayin'...
Sun, 11/08/09 - 02:00
I love how people are still, desperately, trying to find some reason to argue that Lesner is anything but a joke. Brett rogers would own Lesner. Fedor would melt his face. Long live the Emperor.

im ashamed by the fact that were both 831. Your a shitty show. That was a legit show for basic cable. Your the type thats a hater. When someone is doing something to come up you just want to hate. Hey you bf gets a new car and your all like " what the fuck did he get a car, he cant drive" Fuckin hater

The Jason Miller vs Jake Shields fight was not a bad fight. There was a lot of good transitions and escapes. Go watch boxing if you are going to bitch about watching a wrestling or grappling match. I do agree Big John should have stood them up more but the people that booed Jake Shields while Jason Miller was just chillaxin and catching his breath from the bottom are an embarrassment to the sport. Both fighters showed off world class skills in that fight.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 05:57
The sound from Fedor's punch made me scream. I was pretty worried in round 1. The clinch game didn't look comfortable for Fedor. The cage played to Brett's size advantage.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 06:01
Fedors ground control is not as good as I thought, but he is much more intelligent. He kept watchin Grimm set his feet after bouncing around and unloaded a right from hell when he did. Fedors actual boxing is pretty ugly. He is so fast, like Rashad Evans, that he catches people slipping. IMO Lesnars wrestling would give Fedor fits, and he would either have to catch Lesnar on the way in or out of the shuffle. Lesnar isnt as smart as Fedor, but he sticks to game plans pretty good. If Grimm had BLs power when he was pounding Fedor in the mount, he would have won....I also didnt like how Fedor unloaded a bunch of wild swings and none of them made it thru Grimms arms when they were standing up.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 06:05
Jake Shields offense was only about safety and control. It was ugly. He is like a mini me GSP, but atleast GSP has the sack to actually punch somebody a little bit wjhile in control.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 06:12
First two fights were pretty good, Shields is a pussy. Fedor struggles against a brawler but comes back with a vengeance. Praise fedor if you want but he didnt do anything special last night.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 06:40
Shields is a welterweight that stepped up to fight a very talented middleweight. Miller got pwnd and that's that. Shields put on a wrestling clinic against a bigger opponent. He showed much more skill than Clay and Pray Guida. He didn't ride his back all night. There were many transitions. If you aren't a wrestling fan than this isn't the fight for you. Calling Shields a pussy is just plain ignorant. He didn't run! He took Jason Miller down at will.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 06:52
I wrestled for 14 years... Shields is a pussy. He looks like a scared boy standing up with anyone. He did put on a wrestling clinic, but he stalled as much as he could during the match, and maybe tried to finish the fight once. Yes shields owned miller as far as wrestling, and a win is a win, and he is a champion right now. But shields is that wrestler that go up 2 or three points and ride the match out, its effective but those wrestlers never got respect.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 07:05
I think we will see all of these Strikeforce/UFC match ups after Strikeforce folds and the UFC picks up everybody.. Fedor got lucky (Like he always does) . I think if Big John would have let brett defend himself a little longer he could have recovered. But then again.. he got that "where am I" look on his way down to the canvas !
Sun, 11/08/09 - 07:12
haha "where am I" look...
Sun, 11/08/09 - 07:24
Good point BigBear, I guess it happens in a lot of sports. It's like the football team that scores 2 touchdowns and switches to the running game to burn the clock and prevent defense so they don't give up the big play. I don't like it when a fighter leaves it up to the judges either. I'm not sure Jake had a choice in this case.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 08:05
fedor will never fight lesnar because fedor doesnt want his first legitimate Loss. Lesnar as a baby would eat fedor. Lesnar as a man would simply be tickling his taste buds with a pre-course snack. Lesnar is a genetically gifted athlete, fedor is just russian. It is what it is. lol!
Sun, 11/08/09 - 08:23
"AussieJosh Says: Sat, 11/07/2009 - 20:24 Go Fedor!!!! Eat that DANA! AND SUCK A DICK TO BITCH!!!!" yea Dana eat the fact fedor beat another can, woohooo those second rate motherfuckers sure showed you! wow what a shitty promotion and show. yea buddy did you see that? a whole night full of UFC cast off's and pussy russians who are to scared to to sign a contract. man they and their stupid nuthugger fanboy here sure showed you Dana.......what? wait why aren't you humbled? why aren't crying? ohh crying cause it's funny, ok yea I can see that. sad and pitiful, yes Dana it was. whats they can keep the dick and suck it themselves? ok I will tell him.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 08:44
I think you've got a lot of anger issues, son. As a side note I think you should apply to be Dana White's assistant. You'd fit the bill perfectly to his ego-mania. If he needed his shoes shined, you'd be right on your knees with a spit polish. If he needed his asshole and gooch waxed, you'd be there warming up the glue. Now I don't have a problem with Dana or the UFC, and apparently you do if his hairy sack isn't firmly pressed to your chin. I do like to see good cards, especially for free and that's what that was last night. A fairly exciting night of fights, especially for fans who are just catching onto this sport. It's never good for one promotion to have ALL the controlling interest. Plug Don King + Boxing as an example.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 09:15
ok anyone who thinks fedor would stomp lesnar, or lesnar stop fedor has issues. It would be the perfect fight. A genetic monster who has amateur stand up but is overwelming on the ground, and the perfect all around mma fighter in skill but not in size... if fedor catches brock... game over, if brock gets it on the ground... game over, it would be an interesting fight to think about.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 09:25
@uzithrasha. Im ashamed at how little of the english language you know you retard. And by the way, if you had the slightest bit of intelligence you would know I was talking about the idiots who did the illegal punches and kicks. Fucking dumb ass, go back to school idiot. And I didnt say it was a shitty show, I said it was a shitty organization. Loser.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 10:21
Awesome nite of fights for sure, Too bad Rogers is a cheating cunt though, fucker woulda lost in the 1st if he hadnt hung onto the damn cage three times. Mcarthy shoulda deducted apoint. Aside from that. Wicked fights and Fedor showed why he;s the fuckin Man. Would not want to get hit by him...
Sun, 11/08/09 - 10:48
EXACTLY! Lay and pray. The fight was full of beautiful escapes/transittions, and Miller was responsible for almost every one of them.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 11:19
@MachidavsSilva have to agree. I enjoyed the transitions but there should have been more offense. Also, it says a lot that he is just moving into a heavier weight class and mostly controlled a larger opponent. Not sure he'll be able to hold the title unless he bulks up.
Sun, 11/08/09 - 11:54
@Overhand, yeap, was beautiful to watch imo as well. Not sure wtf was with the gawddamn audience booing the way they did during the match. Truely mind boggling as it was/is what MMA is all about in my eyes. Also was baffled as how they hell they went from chanting Fedor to chanting USA and pretty much booing him, to erupting when he finshed Rogers. Audience was worst thing aside from the commercials all night hehe. The myth and legend of Fedor continue to grows :)
Sun, 11/08/09 - 02:19
After watching last night theres just one thing i want to say and that is... Anderson Silva > Fedor Emelianenko
Sun, 11/08/09 - 07:08
Really enjoyed this event, come to think of it the last strikeforce event was pretty good aswell. Gegard was convincing as always, dangerous guy that is. Hopefully he'll end up in ufc one day. Don't really see why people dislike Shields, he's a beast when he gets to grapple, and Miller didn't really have anything to counter that with (he had an excellent defence while on ground, but you don't win fights by escaping submissions). I was however pleasantly surprised by Miller, will be fun seeing him again. And about Fedor, if you've seen him fight before (not affliction then) you know how much punishment the guy can take, and how much he can bleed and still win. Rogers looked ok, alot better than I had suspected. Had the fight continued, he would have been submitted tho, as he started to look tiered after his ground n' pound.
Sun, 11/15/09 - 02:36
I have to say I want Joe Rogan to get involved in the public broadcasts. I just plain enjoy listening to the guy announce. His base of knowledge in the sport is enlightening. I love the way the sport is becoming so mainstream that we have live broadcast on CBS now, I remember watching the Carano/Cyborg spectacle and being impressed that Strikeforce pulled it off as well as they did. Mousasi is excellent, some dirt here, but at the same time he has managed to come to the states and create an icon of himself very quickly. Great technical aspect and he can take a fucking beating. Mmmmm...back to podcasting and football.
