Sokoudjou GIVES UP!

November 9th, 2009 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2009, MMA, Sokoudjou

I thought Sokoudjou, without question, took the 1st round. He blocked punches, reversed take-downs, had several throws, and he escaped submission attempts. Gegard Mousasi was in for long fight. But somewhere in the 2nd round Sokoudjou stopped fighting. It’s not like Mousasi started to do anything more or less. Sokoudjou just stopped Fighting! No more throws, no more jockying for position, no nothing! JUST STOPPED!

RESPECT Brett Rogers

November 9th, 2009 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2009, Brett Rogers, MMA

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!! Brett Rogers came to fight! I apologize to Rogers, I thought he wouldn’t stand a chance. I was very impressed by everything he showed during his fight with Fedor. Brett showed that strength has the potential to over come, thus the weight class separations. And Brett showed he wasn’t afraid to fight, and to persevere. His ground and pound over Fedor was jaw dropping. No one could believe what they were seeing. Eventually lack of experience and lack of certain skills prevented his win. Fedor Emelianenko found his swing and threw it like David vs Goliath. One shot took the Giant Brett Rogers down!!! I would love to see Brett get a second chance. Brett Rogers is here to stay.

FEDOR WINS AGAIN!!!

November 9th, 2009 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2009, Fedor Emelianenko, MMA

All the nay sayers got their first glimpse of hope when Brett Rogers broke Fedor Emelianenko’s nose with Brett’s first thrown punch, Brett’s left jab.Then Fedor fans held their heart pounding chests, and caught their breathes in there throat. An entire first round went buy, in which Brett Rogers clearly won. Fedor threw several blocked punches, and had been ground and pound for the first time ever. Brett Rogers shocked the crowd. Fedor was getting smashed and Rogers looked great. Brett Rogers outperformed the last dozen of Fedor’s challengers.  In fact, I’d say Brett Rogers won the first round.

But then in a split second, in the middle of the 2nd round. Fedor started bouncing around shaking his fists loose. He threw an overhand-right perfectly timed and perfectly struck. Brett Rogers, 280 pounds, got hit with a blow that could be heard to the ends of the highest mezzanine.  DOWN WENT ROGERS! KNOCKED OUT!

Strikeforce MMA Organization Is On Point

November 9th, 2009 by Brotherlove | No Comments | Filed in 2009, Brett Rogers, Fedor Emelianenko, MMA

Saturday November 7, 2009 is a well put together fight card. Hats off to Strikeforce, the World Wide leader in Mixed Martial Arts. This card promised to be very competitive, and the delivery was right on time. Several evenly matched fights took place including Knock-outs, Submissions, and TKOs. CBS Sports Television (Channel 2 if you live in L.A.) never looked so good.
