Russian Roulette: Don’t count out Fedor!

Saturday night is arguably the biggest night in the history of the young Strikeforce organization.  The main event will be one that consists of new school vs. old school.  The bout will feature an undefeated up and comer and an aging superstar.  All around the sport, legends are falling from grace.  Matt Hughes and Chuck Liddell are merely shells of their once dominant selves…  Could Fedor be next? I don’t think so, and this is why…

Russian Roulette is a game of chance.  One of life or death.  The fight between Brett Rogers and Fedor Emelianenko could be compared to that very game, except this time it is about the life or death of a career.

Brett Rogers has made one of the fastest jumps to fame in the game.  He has 10 wins in his career and has never suffered defeat.  I would love to say that Rogers has beaten up a slate of who’s who, but he hasn’t.  Let’s face it, the only people you have heard of that he has beat is Andre Arlovski and James Thompson.  They aren’t exactly the cream of the crop.

Strikeforce is pumping Brett up to be the next best thing, and in their organization he very well may be.  He might be the future, but he is going to have his hands full tomorrow night.

If you don’t know about Fedor then you have either been under a rock, or new to the sport.  He is the greatest heavyweight of all time.  Let that sink in…He is the G.O.A.T!

Did you know that Fedor hasn’t been beat in 9 years?  Did you know that he hasn’t went to decision in 4?  Did you know that of the times he has went to decision that he has next won via split?

Over the past year I have been critical of Fedor at times.  No he hasn’t fought the best of the best, but I believe that Brett is not as good as Timmey or AA in their primes.  Fedor is past his prime, but he is still the best big man in the world.

Think of it this way…If you had to put your pay check on Tiger vs. the field, you will put it on Tiger…MJ to make or miss the last shot, your picking make, so why would you go against the greatest heavyweight of all time?
