Brett Rogers Plans for Cage Ex. To Be A Factor

“In the cage it’s a different environment. The angles in a cage are a lot different than in a boxing ring and there’s no give against that fence, so I’m definitely going to use the cage as an advantage … he’s really good at recovering. He knows to duck his head and clinch on to the body, and just kind of wait it out until he can really wake up. That’s good for him, but I’m not the type of person to give him an inch. As soon as I see him hurt, I’m on him. I’m on him. I’m gonna finish the fight. I don’t like to play around too much in the cage because anything can happen at any time, so I take them out as soon as possible…. I definitely have a huge advantage when it comes down to exchanging punches. That’s my strong point, and that’s definitely going to be his weak point. I want to keep moving, keep him back pedaling, and just keep him off balance. That’s my main goal in this fight. I really don’t see him wanting to stand and bang with me. He’s gonna taste my power, and then he’s going to try to take me down to hopefully get me with some ground and pound or just whatever. Hopefully he’s not sleeping on the fact that I do have wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu training too. I guarantee you I’m going to be prepared for whatever…. Fedor’s just another man to me. It’s nice to say that I’m fighting the guy most people consider to be the number one fighter in the world but on the other side of that coin he’s just a man. He’s just a man that’s in my way. A lot of people see Fedor as this unbeatable, mythical creature, but if I put one on his chin, Fedor is going to sleep. Right now I’m in training and I’m just visualizing knocking him out every day. I can see that he’s been rocked several times before, so I’m going in there for the kill. I can’t not picture me knocking him out. So he better do some chin-ups or whatever he needs to do to make him strong, because I’m coming for him. He’s not going to be able to handle my power standing and banging. He stands in the pocket with me, he’s gonna get knocked out. He better keep on his toes and move around.”

FiveOuncesofPain.com recently discussed with Strikeforce contender , Brett Rogers, what he though his keys to victory would be in his upcoming bout with the consensus #1 HW in the world. While cannot hate on confidence in yourself I think he makes valid points in which I believe it is possible that Fedor might have some problems with the transition to the cage. Let's just hope "The Last Emperor" does not make the same mistake a former PRIDE standout , Mirko Crocop, did and not train with an official sized cage.
