All the nay sayers got their first glimpse of hope when Brett Rogers broke Fedor Emelianenko’s nose with Brett’s first thrown punch, Brett’s left jab.Then Fedor fans held their heart pounding chests, and caught their breathes in there throat. An entire first round went buy, in which Brett Rogers clearly won. Fedor threw several blocked punches, and had been ground and pound for the first time ever. Brett Rogers shocked the crowd. Fedor was getting smashed and Rogers looked great. Brett Rogers outperformed the last dozen of Fedor’s challengers.  In fact, I’d say Brett Rogers won the first round.

But then in a split second, in the middle of the 2nd round. Fedor started bouncing around shaking his fists loose. He threw an overhand-right perfectly timed and perfectly struck. Brett Rogers, 280 pounds, got hit with a blow that could be heard to the ends of the highest mezzanine.  DOWN WENT ROGERS! KNOCKED OUT!
