Nice. Apparently SF has done a good enough job in hyping Rogers, cos I want to see this.

Fedor had a public workout in NYC before the announcement today-

Say goodbye to Rogers' undefeated record.

I hope Rogers drops Fedor quick just to see the mass hysteria.

It would be cool if this fight goes more than 2 rds.

I really hope Rogers lands some kind of a lucky punch and knocks Fedor out cold.

Praying for a fedor loss. At this point, its the only thing that'll get him to UFC. Kick him off the high horse he and his manager sit in.

If Fedor loses, the only marketable asset he has (his record) is tarnished so in NA why would Dana bring him over, unless he takes a major, major cut in his demands.

Anyways, very interested in this fight. Should rival the Carwin vs Lesnar fight.

If Fedor loses to Rodgers it kills the whole idea of him against Brock and Dana would be less likely to bring him in IMO.

Agreed.

nope, just means that Fedor won't get an immediate title shot, he'll have to fight his way to it.. probably in 2 fights or so.

as for why Dana would sign Fedor, its because he's still top 2 heavyweight in the world even after a loss. That being said, if Fedor still wants the same amount of money he could have gotten presently, Dana can politely tell him GTFO.

Well I am not a big fan of this fight, just because I think that Brett Rogers is pretty over rated and over hyped after his last fight.

But that said its a pretty good situation for strike force as they can milk this hype for the fight, while feeding Fedor someone that I think is a fair whack below his level. Of course Rogers does have a punchers chance.

Then again, Rogers does have a big stage to prove me wrong, and I'll happily be proven wrong in this case lol.
