this fight has been made official. Brett Rogers is a very underserving challenger but he's on a hot streak and there's not much to offer Fedor outside of the UFC. Not that the UFC HW division is much better. Brock Lesnar the champion is 4-1 while the unproven Rogers is still undefeated at 10-0.

I had already come to the conclusion that Fedor's next 3 fights would be Werdum, Overeem and Rogers, though i did not think Rogers would be first. I find it a little strange that Strikeforce did not put Fedor in an instant title shot. Either way, this is a very mediocre fight for a guy of Fedor's status and its a lot more risk than reward. Fedor's legacy is 1 punch away from being crushed and i hope that a no name like Brett Rogers wont be the guy to do it. He's big and has heavy hands, but thats pretty much where it stops.

Smart money is on Fedor, outside of a miracle happening.. this should be a 45 second fight that ends with Brett Rogers asking the ref where he's at.

that is all.
