Strikeforce 'Fedor vs Rogers' on Bravo

SuperWoody101

If your anything like myself then there are few things that cannot be missed in life. The birth of your child could be one, watching your team in the cup final another and then there is of course watching Fedor Emelianenko fight.

It has been almost 10 months since Emelianenko sent an over enthusiastic flying knee tendered Arlovski right to the canvas. Since then we had the much anticipated match up against Barnett (ranked by many as the #2 heavyweight in the world behind #1 Emelianenko) until Barnett tested ‘allegedly’ positive for the muscle juice.

The result of Barnett’s tainted piss test was the whole of Affliction fell into melt down and ran to the UFC asking to come back in. We then had one week where the amazing seemed possible – ‘Fedor vs Brock Lesnar’, that was however shattered as neither M1 or the UFC could come to agreement on terms.

Since then Mr E has signed up with Strikeforce and next up is Brett Rogers an ex tyre technician who is currently 10 – 0 with 9 by means of KO. Mr Rogers is hoping to knock the crown from Emelianenko’s head and claim the ranks that would follow such a defeat of the Fedor Geezer.

So how do us lot from ‘over the pond’ in her majesty’s heartland watch this event? Do we fly to the US and watch it on a TV in hotel room? Perhaps we could huddle round a laptop and watch it on some cheap chinese streaming website? Maybe even ‘borrow it off ‘a certain site’ using a certain *cough* torrent program (don’t tell Peter Mandelson though).

How about watching it from the comfort of your own home on your own TV? Yeah? Well the good news it will be shown on November the 8th on Bravo right after the ever popular series ‘Trawlers, Rigs and Rescue: North Sea’.

Granted it is twelve hours after the event, but that only means you need avoid the internet for half a day and we here at UK MMA News promise no spoilers. You can do that right?

Kazooie

Thanks man, you've made my day. Will get to see Mousassi as well. Sweet.

Devastator

Cheers, first I've heard of this being on tv.

Odats

That's excellent news and I'm sure we can all stay away from spoilers for 12 hours or so. Looking forward to Mayhem vs Shields aswell on this and Silva vs Verdum. I think Gegard will have too much for Sokodjou. I presume 9pm Sunday night so.

Bravo 2 will be showing it again the following night also at 9pm

Lord Muck

excellent news. Thanks dude. its a really strong card. Lots of potentially good fights. If Rogers makes it out of Round 1 i'll be suprised.

jayteecork

If i'm awake I'll probably stream this anyway.

I have a feeling Rogers will surprise the MMA world.

Dancor

Im going to be in Florida when this is on, So I will get to see it live


Hopefully!!

Mossy Monk

It's on CBS so anywhere with a television will have it. Enjoy the 10,000,000 ad breaks though

My SKY+ HD box is set to record on Sunday.

Luvly f*ckin jubbly!! No Internet for me that day. Hate to say it but I've a bad feeling Rogers is gonna cause an upset, anyone remember Fujita catching Fedor a few years ago???????

C'MON FEDORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR:D:D:D:D

RNCFAN

Excellent.

Paddypower has Miller as 2/1 - I couldn't believe it. Well worth them odds.

me_arse

Rogers is 3/1, might be worth a punt - he hits like a brick ****house and it's Fedors first fight in a cage............

I'm tempted to throw €50 on him but it goes against the grain to bet against Fedor

TechnoPool

ah i wouldnt, but i feel this fight is going to the ground inside 30 seconds and thats when its over.

Rogers will come out swinging and be taken down.

Fedor has trained within cages for years and years so I dont see it being a factor

Bravo have been showing M1 events for a while, so I reckon they're only showing this Strikeforce as it's co-promoted with M1.

chopperbyrne

Is this fight for the WAMMA Heavyweight Title or do Strikeforce not want to recognise it?

m1 have the promotional rights outside the us - hence their commentators and production (or lack of) last night

one would think that as bravo have shown and interest in showing mma since the loss of the ufc that a deal to show future strikeforce events would be thier thing - but nothing has been announced as of yet afaik
