who will be affected more by the american hype machine?

rogers, fairly new to the sport and from the "hood", not used to the notoriety, cameras, interviews etc. but fedor is the humble guy that still lives in his mining village in russia, and although has been the kingpin in mma for years, he hasnt had to deal with the american media/hype machine as he has for this fight.

rogers is known for his no nonsense approach to fighting and of course fedor is arguably one of the most focused and unassuming fighters in the world, that being said, who will be affected more by the surge of media attention, camera time, interviews etc.?

Really?!?!? Fedor has been fighting in main events for years, almost 9 if I'm not mistaken. Just watch the weigh-ins, you can see Rogers taking real deep breathes when their doing their staredown.

Rogers even admitted to being a little bit psyched out by Fedor's lack of emotion.

I wonder what rogers selected for his final meal & if he's received last rites ... ?

This isn't Fedor's first fight in the US.
