The Strikeforce M-1 Global heavyweight bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers was held on Saturday, November 7, in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
The action ended at 1:48 with a TKO in the second round when Emelianenko (31-1) landed a right hook that sent Rogers (10-1) down to the mat and then delivered a series of punches to his face before referee John McCarthy ended the fight.
During the post-fight interview – see below – Fedor said he was never in trouble, his cut nose wasn’t an issue and the seven minute bout went down exactly as planned.
Next up for Emelianenko is a championship match against Alistair Overeem in April 2010.
