MMA Strikeforce’s Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko Still Wears The Crown

Brett “The Grim” Rogers gave his best to dethrone Strikeforce’s World Heavyweight Champ Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko tonight.

Rogers entered the fight with a 10-0 record and in the first couple of seconds of the first round he gave Fedor a really bloody nose with the first punch he threw. And the cage got bloody indeed.

Rogers made it admirably into the second round and definitely got Fedor’s respect, I have no doubt about that.

Until Fedor connected with one right cross to Rogers’ chin that knocked his opponent to the canvas and there he finished Rogers off after 1 minute and 48 seconds in the second round in a way that MMA fans have now seen over the years.

The soft-spoken and humble Emperor did not give up his crown: He now has 31 wins under his belt, I mean crown, and his reign continues.

Fedor offered a rematch and Brett Rogers has already accepted.

With his win, Fedor undoubtedly continues to be on Dana White’s radar.

Will it happen? Will Fedor fight Brock Lesnar?

From Russia With … Fedor ‘The Last Emperor’ Emelianenko

Welcome to America!

Fedor ‘The Last Emperor’ Emelianenko and Brett Rogers will be fighting
November 7 in the U.S. and you can even watch the Strikeforce event
on CBS.

And, of course, it will be the main event of the fight night.

Why?
Well, because Fedor is still considered one of the top Pound-For-Pound
MMA fighters (at times even the Number One).
When it comes to being a heavyweight MMA fighter, Fedor is regarded by many
as the Numero Uno in the world.

Why?
I’m not so sure, because honestly, I’m starting to think that Fedor’s reputation and
a 30-1 fight record during the last years was only established in non-UFC bouts.

It would be quite intriguing to watch Fedor fight against UFC’s current top
contenders (not former top competitors) and most certainly to see him fight the
reigning UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.
But somehow I doubt it’s gonna happen.

Fedor’s not getting any younger and Dana White hasn’t been able to work
out a deal with him (yet).

And then there is Brock Lesnar who appears to be getting more experienced, bolder,
stronger and faster. Stay out of his way!

So, in the meantime MMA fans everywhere continue to argue whether Fedor really is
the best (heavyweight) MMA fighter in the world. Maybe even of all times!

Is he or is he not?

And what happens to all the hoopla if Fedor happens to lose against Brett Rogers?
