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’.

I don’t think I’m the only one who has been less than impressed with Brock Lesnar’s skills and attitude inside the cage and I’ve certainly been vocal about the problems with having him as a champion. However, Brock’s decision to delay his fight with Shane Carwin was the smart, professional thing to do. If he continues to conduct himself in a smart and professional manner, we could have a great champion on our hands.

Final day of UFC 104 talk. Seriously. I’m done with it now. We cover Sonnen/Okami and Neer/Tibau, but really I just want to talk about the problems with UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg.

I review the performance of the RAMMA Scoring system on its debut run and breakdown the destruction of Ben Rothwell by Cain Velasquez. One more day of UFC 104 tomorrow and then it’s on to. . . well, something else.
