Prediction: wrong Asplund   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Rogers is almost on a losing streak and Asplund hasn't lost a fight since 2002... The quality of Rogers last few opponents have been significant fighting guys like Overeem and Fedor Asplund hits crazy hard though after watching some of his footage soo I'll give this one to him.

Going with Rogers for now but really tempted to go with Asplund

Prediction: wrong Asplund   wrong Decision  

This is the same brett rogers that got a robbery victory over ruben villareal, who is 20-24, and went on a huge loss streak after. that was his last win. he hasn't looked good since fedor put his soul on layaway and overeem took it.
much more timid. he's also had issues with the law after domestic abuse charges if i'm not mistaken. Asplund is a massive can crusher, but what value is there for rogers in getting smoked by good fighters? His 1 big win is arlovski who he rushed and ko'd, I see asplund looking to take this to the ground and quite possibly getting a submission or a ko.

I just realized these 2 train together.  I'm not sure if that should affect my pick.

Prediction: correct Rogers   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

Grudge matches are always fun. These guys used to be buddies, but now don't like each other none too much. Rogers is on a slide, losing 4 of 5. Asplund has won 15 straight, (though not facing opponents anywhere near as tough as the guys Rogers has fought). The big question is, can Rogers turn it all around now that he has a second chance at a good career? I think so, Asplund is a great way to get Rogers a win and into the next Heavyweight tournament!

I'm picking Rogers based on name value, but I am in no way confident in this pick.

Everything tells me that I should pick Asplund, so with that in mind - Rogers via KO/TKO rnd 1.

Thinking about it. I'm very tempted to do pick Asplund. Just curious Anik what makes Asplund tailor made to beat Rogers. I honestly know 0 about the guy. Did something happen in MMA news about Rogers?

@WishIsHere You misread my post, I said "This fight is tailor made for us to make money" because it pits an unknown dude with a great record versus a very known fighter who's major weakness is the other's biggest strength.

Prediction: wrong Asplund   wrong Decision  

If Asplund is smart, he should win this easily. Rogers' recent fights were close decisions involving Eddie Sanchez and Warpath. Asplund decision or late sub.
