Brett Rogers vs Alistair Overeem possible for August 15 Strikeforce event in San Jose, California

Posted By krotouyy Other News

“It’s definitely a possibility,” Afromowitz said after Saturday’s press conference. “I know Brett said he is ready. We will see how he is feeling next week and go from there. Overeem is locked in for the August 15 fight card.”

“The Grimm” is coming off a devastating knockout win over former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at the June 6 ‘Lawler vs. Shields’ event from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Rogers was a +300 underdog heading into the fight but needed just 0:22 seconds to put “The Pitbull” to sleep — the second time for Arlovski in as many fights.

At the post fight press conference, Rogers spoke out about his future within the promotion. “I was kind of aiming for (Overeem)…I was expecting the title today so he is still in my sights.”

Overeem = Over rated. He's the champ in a very anemic division. Rogers will be able to knock him out. Overeem has had his bell rung by some of the best. When youve been put to sleep by the likes of Liddel and Rua, your brain cant take much more of it.

this will be the opportunity that brett rogers is waiting for. he beat andrei arlovski and he has earnedrespect from the mma fans. Alistair Overeem better not take rogers lightly,which I think he wouldn't,his fate will be the same as arlovski.

Cause he fought like 3 fights in 5 months. Give him some time to rest, its not healthy for a fighter to fight every friggin month. Look at KOS, burnout is a reality not a myth.

I have not see Overeen fight in awhile but he should be able to beat Rogers. Of course thats what everyone said about Andre also.
