riceb0i Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Fedor Emelianenko vs Brett Rogers Strikeforce fight announced Strikeforce announced today at an open media workout in New York City that its prized free agent acquisition, Fedor Emelianenko (30-1), will make his promotional debut against undefeated hard-hitting heavyweight prospect, Brett Rogers (10-0). No confirmed date or location is available at this time; however, the showdown is likely to happen on a Showtime-produced card sometime in November. Emelianenko — a former Pride FC Heavyweight Champion and Affliction MMA headliner — recently signed a multi-fight contract with the San Jose-based mixed martial arts promotion under a special co-promotion agreement with M-1 Global. “The Last Emperor” was in cruise control under the Affliction MMA banner after back-to-back wins over former UFC heavyweight champions Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski. He was in line for a WAMMA title defense against Josh Barnett at the Aug. 1 “Trilogy” event until “The Babyface Assassin” got popped for steroids in a random pre-fight drug test. The cash-strapped promotion closed up shop shortly thereafter, leaving Emelianenko (once again) the hottest free agent in mixed martial arts. After a hot and heavy pursuit from the UFC, Emelianenko opted to sign with Strikeforce primarily because of the co-promotion caveat. Rogers is coming off a devastating knockout win over former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at the “Lawler vs. Shields” event from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo., on June 6. Rogers was a +300 underdog heading into the fight but needed just 0:22 seconds to put “The Pitbull” to sleep — the second time for Arlovski in as many fights. “The Grimm,” now 10-0, looks poised to capitalize on his new found stature. “This sport is all about timing,” he said. “This fight took me to the next level and now is definitely my time. Everyone saw tonight that I am not one to play with.” We’ll find out soon enough as he now prepares to take on arguably the top mixed martial arts fighter on the planet. i feel sorry for "The Grimm" standing he'd have a chance but once the fight hits the ground he'd be coming home without an arm... and believe me the fight will go to the ground... f#&king arrogant fedor he be little the UFC!!!!!! Down to the last emperor!!!!!!it's more like arrogant Vadim boss Quote Link to comment

SevenZeroFive Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Whats with the Fedor Hate!? Just because he didn't signed with the UFC?! Come on... :hypocritesmiley: It's not just because he didn't sign with the UFC per se. By not signing with the UFC he is basically choosing to avoid top flight competition. Fedor is his own person, and he could've overridden Vadim's decision to have him sign with Strikeforce. Let's face it, if Fedor left M-1 & became his own person all M-1 will have is Mo Lawal, who's a good prospect but an unknown commodity. The money will come when competition comes his way, and with the rest of the heavyweights not signed with the UFC, the competition's not that much. The closest would be Josh Barnett, who's basically finished as a professional in the US. The Fedor hate is because he let others decide how his legacy will be written. And that's why it's disappointing. UFC 102 picks: (main card)CoutureSilvaMaiaVeraRosholt (undercard)SimpsonGonzagaMccullyHagueMunozAurelio Quote Link to comment

Guest megalodon Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Good technical win by Vera. Brutal punch by Marquardt. Great fight between Couture and Noguiera, it was definitely worth the wait. Nog had Couture in 2 chokes which I thought was it for Randy but he fought of those submissions. Also, Nog pounded The Natural in the third round and again he survived it. What a fight! Hats off to the 2 legends. Edited August 30, 2009 by megalodon Quote Link to comment

Do you really think it was a fake choke? Its actually a D' arce choke if I'm not mistaken... Sayang It did not happen before UFC 100...Other wise it would go down as the number one fight, Even better than the Bonnar VS Forest TUF Finale... Though nog won, In terms of skills and personal will, technicals and other fight factors I call it a draw... It was the best fight so far... the battle of the senior citizens hehehe. But its worth watching it all over again! Quote Link to comment
ray004 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 just saw the muñoz-catone fight. mas maganda yung pace ng laban nila kesa sa laban ni brandon. after the fight, muñoz said "mabuhay ang pilipinas". kudos to mark muñoz and brandon vera! Quote Link to comment

SevenZeroFive Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) UFC 102 picks (and if I got it right): (main card)Couture - Got that wrong by a mile. Nog was amazing. Nog vs. Brock? Wow, that's gonna be a treat.Silva - Got that right. Yep, Thiago just proved to me how inconsistent Jardine is.Maia - Got that wrong. He'll forever be remembered... as part of Marquardt's highlight reel! BEAUTIFUL KO!Vera - That's the best I've seen Brandon since destroying Frank Mir. Some were dissapointed, but picking off Soz is harder than it seems.Rosholt - Got that right. Scary. He choked Leben out, and Chris started twitching. (undercard)Simpson - Got that right, but not like this. Herman tweaked his knee BAD. Hope he recovers well.Gonzaga - Got that right. The Brock Lesnar lookalike didn't stand a chance.Mccully - Got that wrong. Mike Russow is someone to look at potentially at heavyweight.Hague - Got that wrong by a mile. Duffee looked AWESOME. UFC record for fastest KO.Munoz - Good comeback win by Mark, though it could've gone to Catone. Mark has a long way to go, but he'll get there.Aurelio - Got this wrong, and I deserve to. Dunham looked impressive. Why not hate on Dana W./UFC!? There the ones who didnt want to co-promote! What M-1 Global wants kasi is essentially illegal. They want a 50/50 split on all events that Fedor participates in, which is ludicrous based on good business practice. Nobody can just come in and say, "Hey, split the total revenue in half, and by revenue we mean EVERYTHING, then we can talk". That's just ludicrous. The "co-promotion" shtick that M-1 Global wants is beyond just simple co-promotion between the M-1 Global and UFC brands, that's why Zuffa (not the UFC, the actual owners of the UFC brand) don't want that deal. parang WWE ung main event... nog can finish randy in rnd 1 via KO.. instead nog tried to submit randy. it was a fake choke! hehehe. nog and randy was paid to make a show... randy should hang his gloves. mahina na sya sa mga head shots... Dude, if you have half a brain and if you haven't been caught in an actual D'Arce / Brabo choke, don't you dare talk like that. Yes, Nog was close to finishing Randy, but Randy was defending well despite being knocked down several times. He was more in danger when he got caught in the D'Arce choke then when he was knocked down. Credit that to his wrestling and his sheer heart. And to accuse both Randy AND Nog of working a fight? That's just bullshit. Get your facts right, watch the fight again, Google "D'Arce / Brabo Choke" and learn, and try rolling with someone and actually try to do what they do. Then try and dare to say that the fight was a work. Friggin' TUF Generation noob. Edited August 30, 2009 by SevenZeroFive Quote Link to comment
Kyle_Rayner Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 parang WWE ung main event... nog can finish randy in rnd 1 via KO.. instead nog tried to submit randy. it was a fake choke! hehehe. nog and randy was paid to make a show... randy should hang his gloves. mahina na sya sa mga head shots...
