Fedor loves his sweater lol. Fedor is really unusual, I wonder does he have a lot of money in the bank and just chooses never to spend it? or just hasn't made all that much money from his career so far. Fedor claims he wears one sweater until it falls apart. Most fighters want state of the art training facilities, Fedor is fine with public playgrounds.
Haven't seen Fedor fight, but I saw Rogers fight that Orlovsky(I think) dude who was supposedly pretty bad ass. Don't even think it took 30 seconds for Rogers to knock him out. Gonna youtube Fedor and maybe I'll change my mind, but Brett Rogers is a fucking badass. Cool as fuck that it's on network TV too. Bottom line...USA USA!! Knock the commie on his ass!
after you watch a few Fedor fights, you'll change your prediction.... his speed and transitions for a HW are unreal. He's without ego, he takes what a fighter offers and finishes by KO or SUB with equal speed and skill. Rogers will be lucky to make it out of the first round.
Fedor is the baddest man on the planet. This guy is so unusual and mystical, he doesn't even particularly like to fight. He just fights because he is a good at it, and he wants to represent Russia. Arlovski is a good fighter, but lately he gets knocked out by anything. I heard Chicago had a rain storm the other day and he got knocked out by a rain drop landing on his face. These days, beating Arlovski isn't that big of a deal to me. (In fact, Fedor knocked him silly before Rogers fight with him). I don't think Rogers is that good at all. Yeah he has power, but I just think he is one dimensional. This really shouldn't be a problem at all for Fedor. I hope Fedor destroys him.
Arlovski has shown to be pretty good, but some people question his jaw. Rogers hasn't really shown much though, outside of his striking. Most of his opponents were really really low class cans (fat guys wearing shirts), which don't really test a fighter much. I don't think Rogers is a top 10 HW, and if he was in the UFC he'd probably have a similar path as Kongo or Pat Barry have had. (wouldn't fair very well on the ground or against strong wrestlers that the UFC has)
