Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers (Nov 7th, CBS)

[El Hardee]

That was so awesome. I couldn't believe they didn't show that as a replay.

For sure, when I saw that I jumped out of my seat, it was a variation of a De La Riva sweep without the hook.

That was crazy good. When I saw Gegard pull that I almost jumped out of my seat.

Anyway the reason I came to this thread was to post this just because it's so badass.

What a KO by Fedor. pretty decent card.


I'm back, computer crashed two months ago. On a new one now.

Brock Lesnar for one is a way bigger draw than Fedor. He can get 1.5+ million people to pay $50 to watch him fight. Fedor can barely do 10% of that business at this point (if that), and that's a fact.

I'm not necessarely contesting what you wrote, but how many PPV did Lesnar sell in his first fight for K1, without the UFC marketing machine pushing him?
I don't think Fedor is the most popular in the US, but I think he places much higher than what you think and has the potential to be the biggest one if properly marketed.
He's the best and he has an exciting style, has a hardcore fanbase ready to praise him as much as possible, enough exposure and fans will come.

Here we go again. Don't worry Ryoga, that issue has been settled already.

[Ryoga Hibiki]

More than settled you all just gave up.
I just wanted to add to th discussion how Lesnar wasn't such a draw on his own, even with his WWE past to help him.

[Spartan13]

A very valid point. I wish I had thought of that.

But either way,
