Strikeforce (MMA): Fedor vs. Brett Rogers Nov. 7th on CBS HD
Fedor vs. Rodgers: WOW! Fedor is just scary with his explosiveness. Rogers took Fedor to the 2nd round for the first time since Mark Coleman did it to Fedor over 3 years ago.
Rogers really did ok round 1 and broke Fedor's nose (bloody mess) a min. into the 1st round. He used his huge size pretty well, but got really tired by the 2nd round and Fedor just threw a rope out of the blue right on Roger's chin. What a beastman. Fedor would beat Lesnar pretty easily I would think at this point in their MMA careers. Dude is just a cold-killer. Rogers is now 10-1. Fedor is now 31-1.
Jason Miller vs. Jake Shields was pretty good too. Miller had a rear naked choke locked in for 10 sec. but Shields got saved by the bell (literally) at the end of round 3. Miller did well up to there as he had more strikes at that point, but Shields didn't really get tired and won in a unanimous decision 48-47. Could have went either way, but a fun fight. Miller is a crazy bastard though! Took some crazy shots at Shields and spiked him pretty hard once. Shields was pretty boring, but won.

Don't get me wrong I think Fedor is one of the best fighters out there, and if he would ever fight Lesnar I think his only chance is to submit him from the bottom. Fedor has unbelievable submissions, great arm bar and rolls a Kamera(?) pretty well, although it would be the greatest feet to roll one through on Lesnar. He is too strong to isolate an arm like that.
Rodgers got sloppy, his hands were down at his waist, Fedor timed his jab an got off a hay-maker when Rodgers started to step into the punch. It was really just sad that a guy like Rodgers, fighting on a main event on national television against arguably the worlds best fighter and he can't keep his hands up. I don't really know who else Fedor is going to fight in Strikeforce that is going to offer him any sort of a challenge.
Lesnar is a much better fighter than Rodgers, his size and strength for one, but his speed, and over all ability as a fighter is better. It is like comparing a the handling and speed of a Porche to a Ford Focus.
Lesnar has mono and has had to cancel for UFC 106, he then had to cancel for the rescheduled date of 108 because of it. I guess he is having trouble getting to his second workout in two days, typical mono. He itrained for quite a while with it and is lucky he didn't blow up his spleen.

MMAScoops.com has learned that current TNA Wrestling star Bobby Lashley is close to signing a long-term contract with the MMA organization Strikeforce. Should the deal come to fruition, it would make it impossible for Lashley to join the UFC until he's well past his athletic prime — and one of his goals was to face Brock Lesnar.
The upside of the deal is that it will likely allow him to continue wrestling, whereas if he went to UFC, he would be prohibited from doing so.
-------------------------------
Lashley is pretty raw yet (but is 4-0 and waxed the floor with Bob "the Beast" Sapp in May). He's the same exact age/size/speed/wrestling background in college as Lesnar though. Looks like he's headed for Fedor next as he was offered this Strikeforce fight before Rodgers took it, but turned it down as he wasn't ready yet.
Imagine the storylines if UFC signed Lashley and he did well...Lesnar vs. Lashley (2 WWE champs and NCAA champs). I'd like to see that.
