I've only seen 1 of Rothwell's televised fights, a TKO loss to Andrei Arlovski. othwell is no chump though and he's got a better all around game then anyone else Velasquez has fought. I see Cain as a bit more agile and athletic though, and I believe as long as he can keep Rothwell off center and busy he should be able to take it. |

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Vs Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida at UFC 104: everything I've seen says Machida will win this fight. Does Rua have a chance, Josh? |

Maybe a puncher's chance. I can't give him much more than that. But who knows. |

As this article will attest the vast majority of MMA fighters don't win titles and the big $ and actually only eke out a living: http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-rivera102109&prov=yhoo&type=lgns |

Were you able to catch this fight, Lee? I really think Shogun was robbed. I seriously have no idea what the judges were thinking. The bar I saw the fight in was shocked as well...just about everyone's jaw dropped when they announced Machida as the winner. |

No, Josh I didn't see it. (kicks self) Hopefully I can catch a TV replay of it ASAP. Does Brock Lesnar have swine flu? http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-lesnar102609&prov=yhoo&type=lgns |

The Lesnar thing is kinda funny, but it sucks as far as UFC 106 goes. I was pumped for 106 but now that they've moved Ortiz-Griffin up to the main event I don't even want to bother. At least UFC 105 coming up on Nov. 14th is going to be free on Spike TV. That combined with the free Strikeforce show on Nov. 7th on CBS makes November a great month for MMA. I can't wait for Fedor-Rogers on the 7th. |

Official weigh-in results plus photos for tomorrows Strikeforce: Fedor Vs. Rogers event: http://www.sherdog.com/pictures/event/pictures-fedor-vs-rogers-weigh-ins-20768 Given that this is a pretty good looking fight card plus it's free on network television, I strongly recommend anyone with even a mild interest in MMA tune in. The title bout between Jason "Mayhem" Miller and Jake Shields is almost a guaranteed classic. |

I expect Fedor to absolutely demolish Brett Rogers.

Rogers put up a fairly decent fight, but still got rocked by a brutal Fedor haymaker in the 2nd round: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=9950&zoneid=2 |
