**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 05-19-09, 04:17 PM

this is a well put together card.

Robbie Lawler (16-4) vs. Jake Shields (22-4-1)

Rafael Cavalcante (7-1) vs. Jared Hamman (10-1)
Phil Baroni (13-10) vs. Joe Riggs (29-10)
Kevin Randleman (17-12) vs. Mike Whitehead (23-7)

Are we talking about the same Andre that KO'd Ben Rothwell and Roy "Big Country" Nelson ? The Same Andre that was putting the heat on Fedor and had us going "Oh , so this is what Fedor losing looks like! " till he tried that dumbass superman punch ????

If anything guys, i hope that Brett Rogers record and 1st round K.O. history drops the juice alot, then i will play Andre.

Brett Rogers said Kimbo was getting fed his opponents quite nicely , well he should look at his own list, he went from some minor MMA venue to Elite XC and the quailty of his opponents didnt change much. Can he win ??? Yes, but Andre takes this fight 85 outta 100 times ... question is .... is the juice worth the squeeze ???

**Riot** · 05-19-09, 08:31 PM

Also, whats the Whitehead Randleman line ? It should easily be on Whitehead, Randleman hasnt had a quailty win in like 5 years whereas Whitehead just went toe to toe with Babalu.

Still , Strikeforce, elite XC , they scare me , i have the feeling if any high profile orginization were to throw fights, it would be these guys. They are broke and if they can place a bit on an under dog and convince the favorite to throw it, i would not be shocked. Id hate to see that sorta stuff in the sport i love so much. I most serious fighters take to much pride in their art to do it, but Strikeforce has alot of washed up vets and falling stars, along with good record freak shows ...

What is date for this one? Looks like a good one.

**brooks85** · 05-20-09, 10:19 AM

haha putting the heat on fedor i like that, Im hoping thats the general consesus still, so the odds for AA will skyrocket. His fights againt rothwell and nelson were weak. It was ridiculous it took AA that long to put them away, ecspecially rothwell. But, his striking is apparently a lot better now. No matter how you slice it, you can't train a better chin and rogers is a KO machine about to fight the biggest fight of his life against a guy he knows has a soft chin. If I can get rogers at +400 or better im a definitely taking it.

sure brooks , the juice will affect my bet as well. But AA still wins this fight 85 outta 100 times. Rothwell and Nelson may have been week fights for AA , but those guys are still light years ahead of anybody Rogers has fought. Rogers is getting kimbo Slice treatment thus far, if he beats AA , then he will get my attention. As for the AA vs Fedor fight, did you watch it ? Im not trying to sound like a jerk, but come on. It forced Fedor to say that he knew it looked like he was getting rocked, but he didnt feel like he was in danger. Whatever the case maybe, AA was landing alot of strikes and Fedor was not. Im sure that was not part of Fedors Gameplan.

Card just got a lot better. Arlovski vs brett rogers. If the odds are good enough Im taking Rogers. Arlovski has a weak chin.

Rogers will get KOed but AA will probably be -400 so not really worth betting him. An AA parlay with Nick Diaz is a possibility.

**brooks85** · 04-13-10, 10:32 AM

little less than a year later and its going to happen again. I doubt I will get rogers +300 this time but +200 will be good.

**brooks85** · 04-13-10, 10:34 AM

brett rogers first job :25 mark and beyond

**NOLA42** · 04-13-10, 02:04 PM

you think rogers will be all the way at +200?, just wondering as I have no idea myself

**Pabinator** · 04-13-10, 06:07 PM

Didnt Rogers already beat this guy?

**illmatick** · 04-13-10, 06:21 PM

I'm on rogers at +150 or better

**Kaladarus** · 04-13-10, 06:50 PM

They ran out of fighters? I understand rematches but the last fight was too recent in my opinion. Get them each new opponents.

**illmatick** · 04-13-10, 07:08 PM

this is not a rematch guys

**Vrakas** · 04-13-10, 07:54 PM

should be a good fight

**Eccocide** · 04-13-10, 08:08 PM

Title is screwing ppl up. Its an old title lol. Rogers is fighting Overeem (as shown in brooks's video)...

**cky312** · 04-13-10, 09:04 PM

Really though, I don't think Overeem's chin is near as weak as Arlovski's. If the bookies watch any K-1 at all I wouldn't be surprised if Rogers is at 350-400.

**brooks85** · 04-13-10, 11:08 PM

i would cream myself if rogers was that high

**knownone** · 04-14-10, 03:40 PM

Why on earth is this happening again... and why would AA be a favorite the guy has no chin.

**brooks85** · 04-14-10, 04:18 PM

lol thats my fault, i prolly should not have resurrected this thread ha

its Rogers/Overeem

I just used the same thread because i feel dejavu about how the fight will go

that is not saying much. really cannot trust alovski to take anything near his jaw. i feel like overeem's chin has not been tested with the 4 oz's in quite some time.
