“CBS would be out of their mind to put that rinky-dink
[Strikeforce] . . . on the air again . . . and without that backing,
[promoters] won’t have the money to pay [Emelianenko].”
“The guy just got his face smashed in by Brett Rogers. Do you know
what Brock or [UFC heavyweights] Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez would do
to Brett Rogers? …It’s time to bring this guy [Fedor] in, to see Brock
Lesnar smash his head.”
