Too much prep and too hard of a BJJ class tonight for me to do a show, but I am going to try to get a 20 minute show in tomorrow to make up for missing tonight. Obviously I have all of my UFC 105 preview to do so I should be able to fill the time. Until then!

Wrapping up with a closing thought on Strikeforce Fedor vs. Rogers and looking ahead to UFC 105 coming up this Saturday. No fight previews yet as, really, there isn’t 30 minutes worth of good fights to talk about on this card.

Long show tonight as I run through the last three fights from Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers and divert into a side rant about MMA “fans” who don’t like to watch grappling. Also, with the UFC scrambling to deal with four of its champions being on the shelf there has been a flood of fight announcements to cover.

We begin to break down last Saturday night’s Strikeforce event that aired live and free on CBS. It was a great showing from Strikeforce with a great headlining match between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers. It’s too bad that Strikeforce isn’t capable of putting on too many more shows like it.

30 episodes! That’s about 5 hours of me gabbing about whatever I want. Today it was about the Last Emperor’s latest victim, Brett Rogers. Does anyone think this guy has a shot at dethroning the #1 heavyweight in the world?

We discuss the proper pronunciation of “Fedor” and breakdown the match-up between heavyweights Antonio Silva and Fabricio Werdum. Also, I totally called the rumored fight between Cain Velasquez and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Just sayin’.

A lot of fight/fighter announcements were made since last we spoke. I cover the most significant, but honestly, you can just click on the pretty links below.
It’s the night before Halloween and since tomorrow night we’re going trick-or-treating with our young cousins, I’m taking the night off to watch some scary movies. So, no show tonight. See you again on Monday.
