Saturday, November 7 12:48 am PT: What happens to Rogers on the ground?
Brett Rogers is being given (slight) chances to beat Fedor Emelianenko based on his ability to punch a hole into concrete; little has been seen of him working the canvas, where Emelianenko is incredibly slick. In his favor: Mark Hunt, a ground novice who clocked in near Rogers’ 280-pound frame for his 2006 fight with Fedor, kept Emelianenko immobile for several minutes. But if all he can hope for is some brief control, it’s less of a shot at winning and more a stay of execution.
What happens to Emelianenko on the feet?
A victory is a victory, but for several minutes against Andrei Arlovski, Emelianenko looked uneasy and ineffective.
