UFC Website Hypes Fedor vs. Brett Rogers Fight

UFC is aggressively counter-programming tonight’s Strikeforce broadcast on CBS, but its website is nonetheless promoting the show headlined by Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers.

As part of its website Twitter feed, UFC.com features comments from WEC fighter Danny Castillo on the main page. His latest Tweet, and the top current post on UFC.com, reads, “Come hang out at ‘Players’ tonight for the Fedor fight. The whole Alpha Male gang wt be in the building!!!”

Though the post is hardly tantamount to an official endorsement of the Strikeforce show, it does show the value a Fedor fight has to the mixed martial arts community.

Aware that it would have virtually no chance of beating a live MMA broadcast on CBS, UFC opted not to run a live card against tonight’s show. It is nonetheless hoping to make a dent in the Strikeforce event’s ratings by running a “Main Event” special on Spike, featuring the free-television debuts of fights like Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin.

  2. Fedor is a fat pig. He has everything to lose by fighting people not good enough to be in the UFC. If he wins, he’s supposed to win…but…..but….if he loses…CAREER OVER for him and the guy that beats him will go to the UFC.

  3. DrPearl, you are a lifeless piece of scum, the only way you get life is through blind hate over the web. Hope you have a horrible car accident in the coming days, and from it hope you get a cold, painful death, that’s the only way leaches like you could find peace. Scum like you is worthless, a piece of crap has more value on the general scheme of things. All you do is suck oxygen, and spit hate. Fedor won, yet again, in convincing fashion by the way, against an opponent that Dana White predicted would knock him out. Have a nice one.

  4. I have to admit, although I know how good Fedor is…I was thinking that Rogers was going to tag him and that would be it.

    I screamed like a bitch when he threw that punch. Wow! He put his entire body into that sucker. He really blew me away.

  9. Tip* to have updated content daily on twitter, you can utilize a news aggregator or RSS feed, you can as well post at predetermined times during the day. The max. tweets you should post per day must be between 2 and 4. 5 or more per day is overkill.

  10. I’m tempted to say “what a load of rubbish!” just for the sake of irony.
    But I’ll refrain as it was actually a good post

  11. Chael Sonnen is primarily a ground and pound fighter with excellent wrestling skills, but not much else. For him to be effective, he needs to score a takedown and keep Silva down, neither of which are easy feats – or safe, for that matter. Silva has been taken down – repeatedly – but very few have been able to capitalize on it, because he’s also very good on his back.

  12. Hello , Super blog ! Je traite du m?me sujet sur mon wordpress. Je me permettrai de m?inspirer de votre texte. En vous citant bien sur et si vous le permettez. Je traite aussi de sujet comme mutuelle dentaire ou comme mutuelle sante. Merci, Benjamin
