By Chart Topper MMA for the longest time seemed like the domain of the trash talking, hype selling superstar, but a new breed of fighter seems to be emerging, one based more on talent, and sold less on his or her words. Names like GSP, Anderson Silva, and Machida come to mind to name a few, a select group of fighters who rarely if ever bash their opponents and prefer to settle matters in the ring. Fedor Emelianenko is the flagship of that group in this aspect, not only choosing to never bash an opponent but rather giving them respect whenever possible. “MMA is not dogs fighting in a cage,” Emelianenko said. “This is a great sport. I like to meet my opponent and show that, first of all, I respect him as a sportsman.” Opinion.   [read the full post]

By Chart Topper The solid ratings mean Strikeforce should return to the CBS airwaves in early 2010. Strikeforce and CBS executives were mum on future plans last week during pre-event festivities for “Fedor vs. Rogers.” “Those are decisions that will be made next week once we’ve had a chance … to look at the numbers,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Saturday nights CBS broadcast of the “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers” event netted a viewer high of 5.46 million viewers during the main event bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers. The average number of viewers for the evening totaled 4.04 million which earned CBS a 2.5 household rating. The show scored top ratings in the adults [...]   [read the full post]

By Chart Topper Interestingly, Arlovski, who is coming off a pair of knockout losses this year to Fedor Emelianenko in January and Brett Rogers in June, could have fought on the Fedor vs. Rogers card this past weekend.

This December, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (15-7) will make his MMA return with Strikeforce or as part of the Sengoku or Dynamite!! 2009 on New Year’s Eve shows in Japan.

By Josh Stein Fedor may not be a crossover star, but the numbers certainly show that Fedor is capable of being a huge draw for MMA fans, and the fact that it was the most watched program among men ages 18-34 (where MMA seems to stomp pretty much all of the competition) means that we’ll probably see a second S...

By Tom Ngo Of the four MMA broadcasts CBS had previously hosted, Fedor vs. Rogers ranks third behind “EliteXC: Primetime,” which averaged 4.85 million viewers, and “EliteXC: Heat,” which drew 4.56 million viewers. Both cards were headlined by YouTube sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson.

Here's how this will go (some of it has already started). The ratings come out. They aren't that great, but they're not the worst ratings of all time (thank you Jake Shields and Robbie Lawler - forever setting the bar low). However, it's Fedor, so this is automatically spun as the biggest posit...

By Jesse Holland The preliminary ratings for the CBS broadcast of Strikeforce: “Fedor vs. Rogers” returned an estimated 3.79 million viewers for the prime time mixed martial arts event. Here’s a snapshot of the quarterly breakdown, courtesy of TV by the Numbers:

By Josh Stein Fedor Emelianenko (31-1-0-1 MMA, #1 IWMMAR) took two rounds last night reminding the world why he’s the best heavyweight, not just active in the sport today, but in the history of mixed martial arts, when he demolished Brett Rogers (10-1 MMA, #6 IWMMAR).

By Chart Topper With the first collaboration between Strikeforce, M-1 Global, and CBS finished, one has to think that the respective companies are quite happy with the end results. Here’s our take on the night, in our usual column we call “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” Fedor continues to speak(through a translator mind you) with a humility that many other MMA fighters could learn for. Fedor deserves some respect just for his consummate professionalism, and his lack of trash talk. The five round fight between Jake Shields and Mayhem Miller, while a grappling exercise, was tedious and seemed at times to stall considerably. Despite the solid ground skills of both fighters, the hold downs by Shields seemed to drag on. Shields gained the victory, but certai...   [read the full post]

By Curtis Clontz Another fighter that could put Fedor in trouble is Brock Lesnar.  No, I am not a troll.  Brock Lesnar provides a new set of challenges for Fedor and every other heavyweight.  His size and strength puts him in an advantage, throw in his D1 wrestling and you have a legitimate force.

By Jesse Holland “It’s my turn now. I have a lot of respect for Fedor. He is the best in the world. I already fought (Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion) Alistair Overeem in Japan. It’s my turn to fight Fedor. I believe in my techniques and if it goes to the ground, I believe in my jiu-jitsu.” –Strikeforce heavyweigh...

By Euan Taylor Just because we love you, here is some bonus audio from the recent conference calls hyping up the STRIKEFORCE/M1 Fedor vs. Rogers show. We have yesterday’s fighters call with Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers and the announcers conference call from last week which included:

Rogers isn’t just looking to defeat a top-ranked fighter; no, his very ambition is to destroy the sport’s sacrosanct champion, to slay the man that is the MMA equivalent to Zeus. Rogers’ aspiration isn’t a mere “W”; his is a quest to commit mixed-martial-arts deicide.

By Chart Topper FanHouse: Most people consider Fedor the best heavyweight in the world and maybe the best MMA fighter ever. Is that what you think? Brett Rogers: I think he’s one of the best, looking at his record and his history he’s definitely great. But he’s facing a new, improved heavyweight: He hasn’t fought anyone like me. The way I see it, he hasn’t been tested the way I’m about to test him. This Saturday Brett “The Grimm” Rogers (10-0) will step into the cage against one of the best heavyweight fighters in the world, Fedor Emelianenko. Rogers told FanHouse.com that although Emelianenko has an impressive record “He hasn’t fought anyone like me.” FanHouse: Most people consider Fedor the best heavyweight in the world and maybe the best MMA [...]   [read the full post]
