Before the stunning UFC 105 this weekend Strikeforce entertain MMA fans worldwide with the breathtaking fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers last Saturday. The following fights took place on Saturday night in Chicago, Ill. and were broadcast on CBS.
Fedor Emelianenko defeated Brett Rogers via TKO in round two.
Jake Shields over Jason "Mayhem" Miller via unanimous decision.
Gegard Mousasi beat Sokooudjou via TKO in round two.
Fabricko Werdum defeated Antonio Silva via unanimous decision.
Rogers landed a big left jab early that left a big gash on Fedor's nose. Rogers also had a nice flurry of punches with 90 seconds left in the exciting first round. Fedor's face was covered by blood at the end of the round. Fedor also had his moments in round one, which was difficult to score. Rogers look gassed in round two, and Fedor knocked him out less than two minutes into round two.
This wasn't the type of performance that will leave non-Fedor fans thinking he's the best heavyweight in the world. He beat an inferior opponent in what turned out to be a much more entertaining fight than I expected, but I doubt too many Brock Lesnar supporters felt Fedor could beat the UFC Champion. Of course, Fedor has looked much more dominant in past fights. Sadly, we may never get that dream fight. This was a decent showing for Strikeforce on CBS. The big question now is how many people saw the show.
