See the fight between the Dutchman Overeem for Strikeforce returning to defend his title after three years before the American Brett Rogers next tried to recover from their recent loss to Fedor Emelianenko.
Strikeforce returns to Showtime on Saturday night with its heavyweight champion’s first title defense live from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Champion Alistair Overeem squares off with Brett Rogers in the main event.
The Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery fighters weighed in Friday afternoon at the venue. All of the main card fighters made weight with no issues, and all four of the heavyweight main event fighters were on point as well. Alistair Overeem will be defending his title for the first time since winning the title in 2007, while Rogers looks to bounce back from the first loss in his career.
Former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski got the loudest ovation from the St. Louis crowd in attendance for the weigh-ins.
The undercard did have a couple of fighters miss weight, but they will have a chance to cut the extra and weigh-in again later.

Strikeforce heavyweight champion, Alistair Overeem believes number one ranked heavyweight in the world, Fedor Emelianenko will have to face him around the turn of the year if both men successfully defend their titles over the summer months.
“I am a pro fighter. I have signed several contracts through my management with different promoters and I fight if the price is right. I would have wanted to fight against Fedor, but I guess his management has other ‘priorities’ for him, So I will prove to the world after I win against Rogers that Fedor must accept the fight with me.”
On the allegation of taking drugs levelled at him by the Russian’s management team, Overeem responded:
“This Vadim guy apologized to me. First Vadim said he did not say those things he said about me then some reporter from sports.ru taped the conversation and brought the tape out in the open, It made him look like a fool and he apologized.”
“It says something about the level of management. Fedor proved himself as the best, but he has not been really fighting a lot in the last years because of bad management. I have fighting rhythm and got stronger and competed also in the best stand-up league in the world and got a third place at the WGP K-1 finals in 2009, something Fedor never did.”
Finally the big Dutchman’s attention turned to the task at hand and a date with destiny with Brett Rogers this weekend in St. Louis, Missouri.
“He is big and has a strong punch, but I have fought way better and stronger opponents than him. I do not see much problems for me in this fight, (Fedor) is the name to beat and I am the chosen one who can do this.”
Overeem’s presence on the MMA scene over the past three years has been sporadic at best, with the only notable name faced in that time being former PRIDE champion, Mirko Cro Cop. How will this effect “The Demolition Man” come Saturday? Tune in to Showtime to find out.
Strikeforce heavyweight number one contender, Brett “The Grim” Rogers has been speaking about his upcoming fight this weekend with Alistair Overeem, explaining he’s not looking past the big Dutchman but he wants another crack at WAMMA champion, Fedor Emelianenko.
Speaking during a media conference call recently to promote the event, Rogers said:
“I’m not looking past Alistair – I feel it’s going to be a tough, exciting fight – but I’m definitely wanting to catch that rematch. It’s only going to look that much better when I get in there and get the title and go for that second shot.”
“It (the loss) affected me deeply. I have lots of love for this sport. I love what I’m doing, and it kind of breaks you a little bit. I was on a winning streak, and I was hoping to blow through (my opponents) and catch the title without a loss, so it’s kind of [expletive] with me. But you learn more from a loss than a win.”
“I’m putting it in the hands of the man upstairs, (and) hopefully go out there and have a good time because that was my problem the last time. I guess I really wasn’t having fun with the Fedor fight. I just feel the time is now.”
“I know that if I would have came out a little more aggressive that the tables would have been turned. That fight, I treat it as a lesson learned. Fedor is a highly ranked fighter and he’s been in the game for a long time. I learned a lot from that fight and I’m going to take what I learned and I’m going into this fight with a lot more confidence. I know I’m going to take care of myself.”
“That definitely makes sense to me, the Fedor fight, but I take one fight at a time and right now Alistair is on my radar and he’s a little too close for comfort so I’m just going to have to take him out and take everything else from there. 2010, if I could finish it off with the Fedor rematch, that’d be bomb for me right there. After that defend the title one more time and go into 2011.”
Rogers also talked about the rigorous training routine he’s been going through since going full time, something his guarantee’s will pay dividends when he steps into the cage on Saturday night.
“I’ve been training out in California for the last month and two weeks or so. I’ve been training at the body shop with Antonio McKee. He’s definitely known for his wrestling abilities and striking.”
“He’s also got a lot of big boys out there, and I’ve also been training out at Millennia in Rancho Cucamonga too. Millennia has a bunch of heavyweights, and I’ve never been to a gym that has so many guys. They have guys ranging from 6’2, 250lbs to 300lbs. They also have Maurice Jackson, he’s 6’7 or 6’8 and just working with those guys that are going to push me and help me get the win this weekend.”
The U.S. HW Brett Rogers is upset when talking about Alistair Overeem. An incident at a hotel last year, where he allegedly downplayed Overeem, has provided Rogers with a real dislike Strikeforce champion. Whereas the picture carries a Overeem nearby. Speaking to Fighters Only, showed a picture of his pocket and began to lash out against Overeem, who fight on May 15.
"This is it, right here, looking like a chipmunk (or squirrel Korea). This kid is a smart guy thinks, I swear to God I'll squash it, "Rogers said while waving the photo.
"He's one of those guys who are conceited and arrogant. I do not like. It will be a fun fight because I do not like. He is saying that it will give me a slap when I see, I'll definitely try it when I see it. "
"Many people do not understand this, I have been trying to reach him since last year, before the fight with Andrei (Arlovski). Just after the fight Abongo. Because I go to the top. There is no reason not to fight unless it is for the title. " Rogers is coming off a loss to Fedor Emelianenko, but says he'd like a rematch with Overeem if they beat Russia and becomes the title Strikeforce HW. "I know I can beat him. When I went into the fight I think my mind was playing with me. Expected to fight with somebody else, expected to be a little more aggressive, "said about the fight he lost to Fedor in the second round.

The key words going into Strikeforce and M-1 Global's "Fedor vs. Rogers" main event on Saturday were "puncher's chance."
Who knew those words referred to WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko?
Emelianenko (31-1) survived an early scare at from the previously undefeated, hard-hitting Brett Rogers (10-1) and delivered a devastating right hand in the second frame to keep the legend of "The Last Emperor" alive.
The win capped off the CBS-broadcast event, Strikeforce's first such effort, in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
Rogers opened the bout with a straight jab that immediately opened a gash on Emelianenko's nose and left the Sears Centre crowd wondering if the improbable wasn't impossible. When Rogers popped up quickly after being tossed to the canvas – the one place everyone knew the Minnesotan couldn't go – the possibility became even more plausible.
A second trip to the floor in the opening round saw Rogers in top position, and the five heavy ground-and-pound shots that followed appeared to do even more damage to his Russian foe.
But as the nine-plus-year has done countless times before, Emelianenko remained calm and turned the momentum back to his favor by gaining dominant position, then standing over his opponent in the closing seconds of the round before narrowly missing with a diving, right-hand bomb.
Then Emelianenko decided he was ready to strike.
Rogers opened the second with a bit less energy, a tad less bounce. Emelianenko didn't.
Rogers briefly pushed Emelianenko against the cage – an unfamiliar position for the former PRIDE champion – but there was no attack in the clinch. After restarting in the center of the cage, Emelianenko erupted with a devastating right hand, delivered somewhere in mid-air, that left Rogers in a heap on the canvas.
Emelianenko hesitated to follow, seemingly unsure if the shots were even necessary. Three additional punches were finally delivered, and the bout was called off at the 1:48 second mark.
Following the win, Emelianenko discussed his physical state with CBS broadcaster Gus Johnson in typical fashion.
"I felt myself really good," Emelianenko said through his interpreter. "Thanks for asking."
Emelianenko then said it was in his plans to see the second round all along.
"The main thing is not to be nervous, to take some time in the first round to learn a little bit about the opponent and then to look for an advantage," Emelianenko said.
That advantage came in the form of power, speed, and confidence.
Rogers admitted to Johnson that despite his best efforts, the aura of Emelianenko had indeed affected his mindset.
"I doubted myself a little bit," Rogers said. "I should have threw my hands a lot more. That's the only reason I failed today."
Rogers now becomes the next in a long list of fighters who wonder, "What if?"
"I hate it," Rogers said. "I'm coming back stronger. I'm so heated I can't even put it to words."
Both Emelianenko, who has won an astonishing 27-straight fights, and Rogers, who loses for the first time in 11 professional bouts, said they would be open to a rematch. But Emelianenko's plans may next call for a Strikeforce heavyweight title fight with current champion Alistair Overeem.
Shields claims middleweight belt
Still considered among the top welterweight fighters in the world, Jake Shields (24-4-1) believes he also deserves that respect in the middleweight division. Now he's got the belt to prove it.
Facing the always-difficult Jason "Mayhem" Miller (22-7) in the evening's co-feature with Cung Le's vacated middleweight title on the line, Shields passed every test thrown his way for 25 minutes. And while the decision nod ultimately came in unanimous fashion, Miller offered his share of roadblocks along the way.
After dancing to the cage accompanied by a chorus line of assistants, Miller remained calm in the opening frames – even as Shields dumped him repeatedly on the canvas. The wily "Mayhem" stayed out of trouble, though Shields was earning points.
An accidental clash of heads in the second frame opened a cut just over Shields' right eye, but the laceration never became an issue. The rear-naked choke Miller applied in the third was a different story.
While Shields once again remained the more active fighter in the third frame, and appeared well on his way to going up three-rounds-to-none, Miller reversed a position in the closing seconds and moved to his opponent's back. Miller secured a body triangle lock and – after missing with the right arm – snuck his left arm under Shields' chin.
The rear-naked choke was tight, and Shields could do little but hang on until the bell rang. Unfortunately for Miller, it did.
Shields righted the ship in fourth frame, and he returned to his wrestling dominance for the final 10 minutes. Miller looked to capitalize on a potential striking advantage in spots, but Shields refused to engage on the feet and brought the fight back to the floor each time.
While Miller appeared fresh as the fight came to an end, Shields' positional dominance remained certain. At the close of the 25-minute grappling session, Shields was awarded the unanimous-decision win, 48-47, 49-46, 49-46.
Shields, the new Strikeforce middleweight champion, has now won 13-straight contests, including two in the 185-pound division. Miller drops to 1-2 in his past three official contests.
Mousasi outlasts Sokoudjou; Werdum edges Silva
The once-feared light-heavyweight Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (7-5) entered his non-title bout with Gegard Mousasi (27-2-1) as a huge underdog. As the opening five minutes unfolded, "The African Assassin" appeared prepared to shock the critics.
Sokoudjou remained active on his feet, and though he was being constantly pursued by Mousasi, the Team Quest fighter avoided tasting any of "Dreamcatcher's" vaunted striking arsenal. Sokoudjou also flexed his judo muscle and tossed Mousasi to the floor on a pair of occasions.
But as has so often been the case in Sokoudjou's recent contests, time was working against him.
Sokoudjou opened the second frame a different man. The bounce was gone, the strength sapped, the drive erased. Mousasi closed the distance easily and began to unleash punches in bunches. Sokoudjou earned a final takedown, but Mousasi quickly swept to top and finished the fight with his hands.
Sokoudjou was warned to move before the stoppage, but the will and ability to escape were gone. The bout was halted at the 3:43 mark of the second frame.
Mousasi's impressive win streak advances to 14 fights, while Sokoudjou is now just 2-3 in his past five bouts (with both wins coming in DREAM's near-laughable "Super Hulk" tourney).
In the night's broadcast-opening contest, Brazilian submission ace Fabricio Werdum (13-4-1) had promised to display his new-found Muay Thai skills against the massive Antonio Silva (13-2).
Werdum made good on his promise, but it nearly cost him.
Werdum flashed a series of high kicks in the opening frame, but they all missed their mark. Instead, it was Silva's hands and refusal to engage on the floor that earned him the opening round.
Then in the second, Silva inexplicably changed his approach.
Werdum pleaded with his opponent to engage him on the mat, and Silva obliged. Once there, Werdum displayed his advantage on the floor while keeping his larger opponent on the defensive. There was little difference between the two, and the scoring of the second frame would be critical five minutes later.
Whether it was Silva's fatigue from grappling in the second or Werdum finally finding range, the striking advantage changed in the final frame. Werdum avoided the heavy punches that had tagged him in the opening round and began to connect with knees from the clinch. Silva answered in spots, but the final stanza was all Werdum.
When the judges' decisions were rendered, all three had awarded the key second frame to Werdum, and "Vai Cavalo" walked away with the unanimous decision win.
The victory was Werdum's second-straight since being released by the UFC, and the 32-year-old has let his desire for a bout Emelianenko publicly known on multiple occasions. Silva loses for just the second time in his career and the first since a December 2006 defeat at the hands of Eric Pele.

Fedor vs Rogers Resultados de la Pelea
La frase clave al inicio de la pelea principal de Strikeforce y M-1 Global "Fedor vs. Rogers" del sábado por la noche era "fuerte golpeador."
¿Quién se podría imaginar que esa frase se refería al campeón de peso pesado de WAMMA, Fedor Emelianenko?
Emelianenko sobrevivió un susto al inicio por parte del previamente invicto y fuerte golpeador Brett Rogers y entregó un devastador derechazo en el segundo round para preservar la leyenda de "The Last Emperor."
La victoria encabezó el evento televisado por CBS, el primer esfuerzo de Strikeforce, desde el Sears Centre en Hoffman Estates, Ill.
Rogers abrió la pelea con un golpe corto que inmediatamente le hizo una cortada en la nariz a Emelianenko y misma que dejó al público del Sears Centre preguntándose si lo improbable no era imposible. Cuando Rogers se levanto rápidamente después de haber sido tirado a la lona – el único lugar al que todos sabían que el peleador de Minnesota no podría ir – la posibilidad se volvió más plausible.
Un segundo viaje a la lona en el primer round, vio a Rogers en la posición superior y los cinco fuertes golpes desde el suelo que le siguieron parecieron causar inclusive más daño.
Pero así como el Ruso ha hecho un sin numero de veces previamente, Emelianenko permaneció calmado y recuperó el ímpetu a su favor obteniendo una posición dominante, parándose sobre su oponente en los segundos finales del round.
Entonces Emelianenko decidió que él estaba listo para golpear.
Rogers abrió el segundo round con menos energía y poco menos movimiento. Pero no Emelianenko.
Rogers brevemente empujó a Emelianenko en contra de la jaula – una posición poco familiar para el ex campeón de PRIDE – pero no hubo ataque en el clinch. Después de volver a iniciar en el centro de la jaula, Emelianenko hizo erupción con un devastador derechazo que dejo a Rogers en la lona.
Emelianenko dudó un poco en seguirlo, inseguro si es que los golpes subsecuentes eran siquiera necesarios. Tres golpes adicionales fueron finalmente lanzados y la pelea fue detenida en el minuto 1:48.
Después de la victoria, Emelianenko discutió su estado mental con el presentador de CBS Gus Johnson de manera típica.
"Yo me sentí muy bien," dijo Emelianenko. "Gracias por preguntar."
Emelianenko entonces dijo que estaba en sus planes, desde el principio, ir al segundo round.
"La cosa principal es no estar nervioso, tomar algo de tiempo en el primer round para aprender un poco más acerca del oponente y entonces buscar una ventaja," dijo Emelianenko.
La ventaja llegó en forma de poder, velocidad y seguridad.
Rogers le admitió a Johnson que a pesar de sus mejores esfuerzos, el aura de Emelianenko si había afectado su manera de pensar.
"Yo dudé de mi mismo un poco," dijo Rogers. "Yo debí haber lanzado mis manos un poco más. "Esa es la única razón por la cual fallé el día de hoy."
Rogers ahora se convierte en el siguiente en la larga lista de peleadores que se dicen, "hubiera."
"Me choca," dijo Rogers. "Voy a regresar fuerte. Estoy tan enojado que ni siquiera lo puedo poner en palabras."
Tanto Emelianenko, quien ha ganado sorprendentemente 27 peleas seguidas, y Rogers, quien perdió por primera vez en 11 peleas profesionales, dijeron que ellos estarían abiertos a una revancha. Pero los planes de Emelianenko puede que lo llamen a una pelea por el título de peso pesado de Strikeforce con el actual campeón Alistair Overeem.
Shields reclama el cinturón de peso medio.
Aun considerado entre los mejores peleadores de peso welter en el mundo, Jake Shields (24-4-1) cree que él también se merece el respeto en la división de peso medio. Y ahora el tiene el cinturón para probarlo.
Enfrentándose al siempre difícil Jason "Mayhem" Miller (22-7) en el evento coestelar con la vacante del titulo de peso medio de Cung Le en la línea, Shields pasó cada prueba lanzada en su camino por 25 minutos. Y mientras que la decisión llegó de manera unánime, Miller puso bastantes obstáculos en el camino.
Después de bailar al entrar a la jaula, acompañado por unas bailarinas, Miller permaneció calmado en los primeros rounds – inclusive cuando Shields lo tumbó repetidamente a la lona. El astuto "Mayhem" se mantuvo fuera de problemas, aunque Shields estaba ganando puntos.
Un choque accidental de cabezas en el segundo round abrió una cortada arriba del ojo de Shields, pero la laceración nunca se convirtió en un problema. El ahorcamiento rear-naked que Miller aplicó en el tercer round, fue una historia distinta.
Mientras que Shields nuevamente permaneció siendo el peleador más activo en el tercer round y también pareció estar en camino para obtener tres rounds contra cero, Miller revirtió una posición en los últimos segundos y se movió a la espalda de su oponente. Miller aseguró una llave de triángulo de cuerpo – después de fallar con el brazo derecho – el escurrió su brazo izquierdo por debajo de la barbilla de Shields.
El ahorcamiento rear-naked fue muy fuerte y Shields pudo hacer poco, solo sobrevivir hasta que la campana sonara. Desafortunadamente para Miller, él así lo hizo.
Shields enderezó el barco en el cuarto round y él regreso a su dominante lucha en los 10 últimos minutos. Miller buscó capitalizar en momentos con la ventaja potencial de los golpes, pero Shields se rehusó a pelear de pie y llevó la pelea a la lona en cada ocasión.
Mientras que Miller parecía no estar cansado cuando la pelea llegó a su final, la posición dominante de Shields permaneció certera. Al final de los 25 minutos de la sesión de grappling, se le otorgó a Shields la victoria por decisión unánime, 48-47, 49-46, 49-46.
Shields, el nuevo campeón de peso medio de Strikeforce, ha ganado ahora 13 peleas seguidas, incluyendo dos en la división de las 185 libras. Miller lleva su record a 1-2 en sus pasados combates oficiales.
Mousasi supera a Sokoudjou; Werdum vence a Silva
El una vez temido peso semipesado Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (7-5) entró a su pelea, que no tenía el título en la línea, con Gegard Mousasi (27-2-1) como el no favorito. Conforme los primeros cinco minutos pasaron, "The African Assassin" pareció estar preparado para sorprender a sus críticas.
Sokoudjou permaneció activo estando de pie y aunque él estaba siendo constantemente perseguido por Mousasi, el peleador de Team Quest evitó todo el arsenal de golpes del "Dreamcatcher." Sokoudjou también utilizó sus músculos de judo y lanzó a Mousasi a la lona en un par de ocasiones.
Pero como ha sido el caso en varias ocasiones con Sokoudjou en recientes combates, el tiempo empezó a trabajar en su contra.
Sokoudjou abrió el segundo round como un hombre distinto. No hubo mucho movimiento, la fuerza empezó a irse, se borro el deseo. Mousasi cerró la distancia e inició a lanzar golpes. Sokoudjou obtuvo un derribo final, pero Mousasi rápidamente pasó a la posición superior y terminó la pelea con sus manos.
Sokoudjou fue advertido para que se moviera, pero el deseo y la habilidad para escapar, se había ido. La pelea fue detenida en la marca del minuto 3:43 del segundo round.
La impresionante racha de victorias de Mousasi llega a 14 peleas, mientras que Sokoudjou ahora cuenta con un record de 2-3 en sus pasadas cinco peleas (con las dos victorias habiendo sucedido en el torneo "Super Hulk" de DREAM).
En la pelea de apertura de la noche, el as de las sumisiones Brasileño Fabricio Werdum (13-4-1) había prometido mostrar sus nuevas encontradas habilidades de Muay Thai en contra del masivo Antonio Silva (13-2).
Werdum cumplió su promesa, pero casi le costo un alto precio.
Werdum lanzó una serie de patadas altas en el round de apertura, pero todas ellas no encontraron el blanco. En su lugar, fueron las manos de Silva y la negativa de engancharse en una pelea en la lona, lo que le hicieron ganar el round de apertura sobre Werdum.
En el segundo, Silva de manera inexplicable cambió su manera de pelear.
Werdum le rogó a su oponente engancharse con él en la lona y Silva así lo hizo. Una vez ahí, Werdum demostró su ventaja en la lona mientras que mantenía a su gran oponente en la defensiva. Hubo poca diferencia entre los dos, y el puntaje de la pelea sería crítico cinco minutos más tarde.
Ya sea que haya sido la fatiga de Silva por el grappling en el segundo round o que Werdum finalmente hubiera encontrado el alcance. Werdum evitó los fuertes golpes que lo habían alcanzado en el round de apertura e inició a conectar con rodillas desde el clinch. Silva contestó en el momento, pero el ultimo round fue completamente de Werdum.
Cuando la decisión de los jueces fue dada, los tres le habían otorgado el segundo round a Werdum, y "Vai Cavalo" salió con la victoria por decisión unánime.
La victoria fue la segunda seguida de Werdum desde que él fue despedido del UFC, y el peleador de 32 años de edad ha dado a conocer en múltiples ocasiones su deseo de pelear a Emelianenko. Silva perdió solo por segunda ocasión en su carrera y por primera vez desde una derrota en manos de Eric Pele en Diciembre del 2006.
