TIME

This will be airing live on CBS (First time a MMA card has been shown on network T.V. since EliteXC) starting at the above time.

Enjoy the fights tonight everybody (that will be watching).

What do you think about CBS's representation of Emelianenko as the #1 heavyweight MMA fighter in the world?

Obviously he's good, but he went out of his way not to fight Brock Lesner. He would have been paid plenty of money if he did. You can say what you want about Brock, but every time he fights, he shows that he is getting better and better.

True. While I think Brock is the worst match p for Fedor stylistically speaking, Fedor does deserve the #1 HW in the world ranking, but, I'd like to see it passed on to more active fighters if Fedor is going to fight, at most, once a year.

And I'm not 100% sure, but it might be his first time in the cage. I know in Pride and Affliction and when he fought HMC he fought in a ring. We'll see how he adapts and how it's going to affect him. Because it is very, very different.

Fedor, 1st round submission.

The fight of the night should be Shields vs. Miller. I predict a grappling war - Shields is obv. better on the ground, but Miller went 3 rounds against Jacare, on the mat, without getting tapped. Boy's got some sub defense!

Part of why Fedor's record is so sick is because he is a good tactician. He won't wanna trade with Rogers IMO - not that he's an inferior striker, but on the ground Rogers has 0% chance of success. Standing up, it's >1% imo

Starts in about 15 minutes!

I can't wait because it also means I can take my next helping of NyQuill or TheraFlu.

Rogers apparently hits like a freight train. Fedor is very smart though. Fedor is not gonna want to stand up and bang with him. Standing-advantage Rogers/Ground- No doubt Fedor. This doesnt show till later this eve out here so I will stay away from this thread till later so I can see it for myself.

"The Grim" is such a badass nickname. Still think Fedor wins.

im getting over mine now it sucked sighhhh

Gegard is up and coming for sure.

he needs to come to UFC where there's better competition.

LOL @ Frank Shamrock getting braces...he sounds like 7 yr old girl

WHAT? No elbow stikes to a grounded opponent? Gay.

Hense UFC>StrikeForce...6 sided ring is awwwkwardddd

Wow, Silva is working him over pretty good.

Werdum needs to get this to the mat with him in top position A.S.A.P! Otherwise he's in trouble. Silva doesn't seem to be the type to get swept or rolled easily from top position.

What the hell did Silva's corner say to him? Taking a 2 time ADCC champion to the ground is not smart.
