overeem defeats rogers

[Wes Gear]

i watched when it aired earlier and i had rogers knocking overeem out. then overeem entered the cage. he was fucking massive. i've never seen him like this. i'm sure they did a steroids test and i'm not saying overeem is using them he just had so much more muscle mass than he ever had.

his strength was unreal. he threw the heavier rogers across the ring like he weighed 120lbs. then beat him senseless on the ground until the fight was stopped.

rogers last fight was with fedor and even though he lost his stock went up because he hurt fedor.

right now i have seen enough from overeem to say he has the power and skill to beat fedor in the same manner. overeem has to be considered the second best heavyweight in the world so if he beat fedor then he will hold the title. brock couldn't handle overeem.

Alistair Overeem defended his Strikeforce belt at Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery in St. Louis tonight, TKO'ing Brett Rogers in the first round.

Overeem landed the first strike and then took the fight to the ground, controlling Rogers. He rained down strikes as Rogers turtled up. Referee John McCarty put a stop to the beating at 3:40 in the first round.

This is Overeem's first defense of his Strikeforce heavyweight belt since he won the belt in late 2007. He has fought several times, both kickboxing and MMA matches, since winning, but not a Strikeforce bout.

"It's been a while, but I'm back, and I'm not going nowhere," Overeem said after the fight. "I was in the best shape of my life."

After the bout, Strikeforce commentator Gus Johnson asked Overeem who he wanted to fight next, and Overeem answered Fedor Emelianenko. Emelianenko is under contract with Strikeforce, but his next bout is scheduled with Fabricio Werdum in June.

Since blasting his way onto the scene with 10 wins in a row, Rogers has fallen prey to both Fedor Emelianenko and Overeem.

Holy Crap! Overeem was huge! Rogers looked like a boy against a man. Why was he so timid? Not like him at all. He did nothing.
Overeem-Fedor. Yeah I'm liking it. Brock-Shane, I'm liking that too. Cross promotion, even though it would never happen, would be even better, Champ aganst champ.

it would be to the ufc and strikeforce an advantage if they entered into a contract where their champions retain only the title of best in which ever organization. then you pit the champs from each against each other to claim the 'world' title holder. this would boost ppv sells through the roof. spark interest like never before. be the precursor to a league like sport.

that's just my personal wishlist.

slith i was expecting the long lanky overeem not this fucking hulk. he didn't even fight like he did in pride. it was almost an entirely new style. rogers is fucking tough. he roughed up fedor fucking blasted and knocked out orlofski.

i think rogers was intimidated by him slith. which is why he was so timid.

I never thought Rogers could be intimidated by anyone. You are absolutely right. After getting K.O'd by Fedor, I think he might have been a little gun shy, and when you don't attack, which is his style, and to back away, you get out of your comfort zone. He did and was bamboozled. He'll be back, just not with the same aura. But you know MMA, you could have a 16-16 record and be the next best thing.
