how do you think that that statement will make fedor angry? he's just saying fedor's an amazing fighter but he hasn't faced a fighter on brett's level just yet...it's respectful as any fighter could ever be expected to be
do you want him to go out there and say "well he's the best P4P in the rankings so I think he's gonna beat the hell out of me and then tap me out, which leads me on to my gameplan..."
and rogers has a real shot at this..just because you haven't seen him in UFC unleashed or any UFC event this guy is a great fighter, he's deffinitely got the stand-up to win against fedor so we'll see if fedor tries and grapple him out or keep it on the feet, watch his fights...he has more than just "heavy hands" otherwise butterbean would have a much better record if thats all it took to go 10-0 in such dominating fashion, i believe he's finished all (except 1 i think, but if i'm wrong don't hold it against me) of his fights in the first round

actually i'm not, but your opinions are your own; it's true enough fedor beat crocop when he was #1 but fedor didn't look quite so good against andrei arvlovski (except the overhand right KO at the end of course), and Andrei isn't the striker he used to be. Brett has got a pretty good overall game, his standup can without a doubt match fedor's (this doesn't mean his is better but he will be able to match fedor which means he can win on the feet), his weakness is on the ground but fedor has a tendancy to go with the flow and fight wherever the other fighter wants to because of his overall spectacular well roundedness
like i said, the question here is will fedor try to take it to the ground and will brett be able to at least delay him or match him enough to not get submitted or GNP'd; although brett isn't that bad on the ground and i would't past escape back to the feet past him espescially with his size advantage.

however, this all is true, it still means brett rogers has a decent chance of winning this, don't put it past him or it'll end up the same way miguel's match ended against brian bowles, he was considered just as unbeatable as fedor and brian was 'just another good fighter' until miguel was unconcious
