Fedor Emelianenko Knocks Out Brett Rogers

Fedor Emelianenko Knocks Out Brett Rogers - StrikeForce

After an all action first round Fedor knocks Brett Rogers out with a huge punch to the chin in the second round. In the first round Fedor was caught with a solid jab from Brett Rogers that split Fedors nose instanty. There was a lot of blood coming from Fedors nose. Fedor was able to punch, then throw Rogers to the floor. Fedor also caught Rogers with another huge punch and then the same tactic again, he throws Rogers instantly afterwards, catching him off balance, some ground and pound followed this but nothing clean landed except a few good punches to the face of Fedor, at which point Fedor dodged anymore punishment by going for an armbar. Brett Rogers is so big and strong he was able to reverse a Kimura attempt by Fedor. Brett Rogers looked tired at the end of the first round. Some great throws by Fedor, he uses them very effectively right after throwing punches, he showed great strength being able to throw Brett Rogers around like he did.

The second round started off cagey, both fighters feeling each other out throwing a few punches, but then after a clinch the fight went to the cage fence, both men holding each other looking for a good position. But once seperated, not by the referee (John McCarthy), but from Rogers pushing away to get the fight back into the middle, both Fedor and Rogers were bouncing around ready to fight when all of a sudden Fedor lunged forward, with his head and body nicely tucked to the side and delivered a huge knockout punch (overhand right) to the side of Brett Rogers chin, sending Brett Rogers to the canvas for the first time in his MMA career. Fedor followed up with more punches, Rogers was in no position to continue and the referee jumped in and stopped the fight. The punch that Fedor caught Rogers with was perfect. Brett Rogers just folded. I think many people expected Brett Rogers to be the one delivering that kind of punch to Fedor.

I was a little shocked that Fedor won the fight by a knockout from punches. I fully expected Fedor to submit Rogers. This was even more impressive by Fedor as he actually beat Brett Rogers at his own game - Punching!

There is no shame for Brett Rogers losing to Fedor Emelianenko, he is after all, the best all round MMA fighter in the world. Very impressive performance by Fedor Emelianenko.
