Re: Brett Rodgers

The Bert thing is a play on what Dana White was calling him.

Oh ok

Bert KO anyone in UFC heavyweight except Lesnar imo

My man Mir takes his arm home.



Serious though, I would LOVE to see him fight Carwin.

Re: Brett Rodgers

Perhaps it was a rookie mistake if this were boxing but Ben Rivers was also expecting Fedor to take him down as he had already done a few times before. And yeah I believe Brad was a bit gassed at that point at well, and also surprised at how quick Fedor threw that punch.

As far as "early stoppage" goes, this picture should put that to rest. Brent Rutgers was done.



As far as money wise, I didn't do much on this event. My Sportsbook account was all tied up in future bets, and I just had my bookmaker and they don't do parlays so I put a few units on Mousasi at -470, which basically covered my small play on Mayhem. Too bad too. A 4 fight main card parlay on the favorite would've been tits.

Agreed. Sean Carwin vs Brian Roper would be a total slugfest. They're both enormous with big power.

BTW, remember how Rogers was calling out Kimbo when EliteXC was still around? How do you think that fight would go now?

At that point, the fight was over. No need to jump back up. But I watched it as it went down and Rogers was still fully conscious and appeared, at least to me, to be improving his position.

I'm not saying it wasn't over and for the sake of my bets I'm glad it was. But as an MMA fan, I would've liked to have seen a few more punches before it was called just to make sure.

It was similar to the Maia/Marquardt stoppage imo. Sure Maia rolled right back over as if to retain guard, but the fight was over.

I'll just say that you just never know, man . . . you just never know. . .

There have been plenty of fights where if it were stopped at a particular time then everyone would've said what a "good stoppage" it was. But the ref let it go on and there was a great comeback and the guy who appeared to be finished won in the end.

I'm sure you'd agree with this.

Re: Brett Rodgers

Yes, but he was in the fetal position with his hands over his head. That position says to the ref "No mas". He only rolled back over when Fedor stopped punching him. And like I said, do you think Maia/Marquardt was a bad stoppage? He rolled over immediately after Nate decided not to hit him again and was up on his feet within seconds.

I understand what you're saying though. A good recent example is Sakuraba/Galesic at DREAM 12. The beating Sakuraba was taking would've been stopped multiple times in the UFC or Strikeforce but Sakuraba endured and pulled out a kneebar. This fight doesn't qualify imo though.
