that stop was too early rogers was still conscious at least wait and see if he takes some more shots... wtf this thing is totally rigged strikeforce can't have one of their only two fighters lose tonight. if fedor loses strikeforce folds simple as that and they made certain that wouldn't happen.
Not that familiar with MMA and rules, but I thought that was very fast stoppage. Didn't even give the guy a chance to recover. He covered up when Fedor got on him. S hit, give him a few seconds atleast to shake it off. If not ,then stopp it.
rogers was conscious with his hands up blocking punches, no reason that fight should've been stopped. sure fedor probably wins in the ne*t ten seconds anyway, but why stop a fight when a fighter takes one punch and is defending himself and took no more shots?

rolls reversed and fedor takes a right and hits the canvas still conscious and takes no punishment afterward , he is rolling with his guard up. NO WAY that fight is stopped, if it was everyone here is screaming. this is completely false .. Fedor was on top of him and was going to pound his face in .. do you think rodgers was just going to "come too" and throw Fedor off of him?? get real since when do fights get stopped...
Should do a count for knockdowns. Give a guy time to recover. I know that's not "MMA." But seen lots of fights where dude get's his bell rung, only to recover and win the fight. Look Buster Douglas against Tyson. Dude got put on his a-ss. Got up, and knocked Tyson out next round. you dont get punched in the head on the ground over and over lol FAIL
Honestly mike it's your opinion and that's fine. My just differs the thing that get's me is it was pretty close either way. You can say yeah maybe he should have let the fight go longer but Brett was just laying their with his hands over his face not moving. That is not intelligently defending ones self. There have been MANY MANY stoppages that were worse than that. He didn't move at all until Big John stopped the...
They also use bigger gloves, use some common sense for crying out loud! So what? They've done countless studies and difference in force between MMA gloves and boxing gloves not that different. In fact, shown you hit harder with boxing gloves because got more hand protection, so go full force.
Sorry but that was not a early stoppage. If the ref did not stop it there and ten seconds later, he would of A, ate more punches or hammer fists or, Fedor would of choked him out i.e. Tim Sylvia. What I am waiting for is Rogers to lose his next fight and people say Fedor fought another bum, I can not wait to see that post. That is why I never bother with Sherdog. Fedor-Sylvia- Sylvia hurt but is scrambling around....
Rogers was not knocked out but was knocked completely out of his senses. If they would have let that fight continue rogers would have had his face bashed in.
