Fedor put himself on his back though. He took rogers down and then went for the kimura, rogers did a nice job of escaping the submission and even landed a few hard shots (by my count he landed two cleanly of the 8-10 he threw)from the top but fedor again quickly escaped.

I agree that lesnar could put fedor on his back but i am not sure he will keep him there. I also think fedor could hurt lesnar standing, and i have seen lesnar lose his composure a bit when he gets hit.

I don't see how you can think higher of Fedor after this fight. We already know he won't quit and can win even if things don't go well early.

I figured if he got Rogers down, he'd end the fight soon.

Lesnar can take Fedor down (Fedor's TD defense isn't that great) and I think he'd hold him down. Fedor would have the advantage standing and with submissions.

Fedor has been showing chinks in the armor for some time now. The powder puff schedule can't last forever, (Rogers is legit, no powder puff and nearly stopped Emelianenko). Fedor wont beat Brock.

I think the same of fedor as i did before the fight. A savvy smart fighter who is dangerous everywhere. He won the clinch exchanges with a punch bigger man, took some of the big mans best shots, and displayed his vicious power.

If Lesnar were to beat Fedor, its by Dr. stoppage due to a cut.

possibly but Rogers is a legit hwt with some real power and he couldnt put Fedor out.

At this point id be more worried about lesnar staying conscious.
