Previously undefeated martial arts fighter (mma) Brett Rogers gave the Russian legend his toughest fight in recent years at Strikeforce/M-1 Global "Fedor vs. Rogers,"
The first attacks included a looping right and left from Emelianenko and a sneaky left from the burly Minnesotan that snuck under the Russian's right arm, produced a surprising result: a cut on the bridge of the seemingly impervious Russian's nose.
Fedor Emelianenko struck and grabbed Rogers for the first of a few key clinches, then tossed the 265-pound fighter to the canvas as if he were 50 pounds lighter. Rogers wisely rushed to his feet before Emelianenko could snag an appendage and atack.
Rogers was hardly ready to quit the fight, though. Pushing Emelianenko to the fence, he stalled the former Pride champion, as blood trickled down his face.
