nice thread. roger is awesome.

[Jim Allen]

Thanks Jason! Roger is definitely one of the best, just amazing skills.

[Rog Brown]

he is great to watch ,also had the chance to roll with him. From the start he just squeezes you like f**k and doesnt let the pressure go. his game is so tight , its just another level altogether.

here is an outstanding match between Roger and another legend Terere great match

[Rog Brown]

Terere was over in the UK a few months back doing a few seminars and a bit of training. Nice to see him back on the mat

Roger looked horrible in that fight against Randleman if The Monster had anything left in the tank i think he would of smashed Gracie.

meh....... i dont like roger all that much. I respect the hell out of his skill but hes just so much bigger than the majority of the guys he beats i always end up rooting for the smaller guy.

So much bigger than the majority of the guys? @_@

Well, if you take into account the absolute, sure. I mean, he's at the higher end of the weight classes, statistically he will be bigger than most people he fights there.

But he's really not very big for a Super-Heavyweight (not forgetting he fought Super-Super-Heavy a little while back when he was only a few kilos into that weight), and he has fought and smashed people significantly bigger than him as well.

I understand the instinct is always to root for the little guy, but compared to some of the monsters out there, even at his own weight, Roger is a little guy. @_@

Take care,

Oli
