American heavyweight Brett Rogers, nicknamed “Ruthless”, quickly and brilliantly burst onto the Olympus of world mixed martial arts in the mid-2000s. Not one of his first ten opponents, including Andrei Arlovski, lasted two rounds against the huge and powerful striker. All ten were knocked out. This impressed experts and promoters around the world so much that Fedor Emelianenko became the American’s eleventh opponent. And Brett Rogers himself was knocked out.
After that, the American puncher began to travel around the world and perform in various promotions with varying success. And in 2013, he got all the way to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to take part in the main fight of the evening at the traditional Mayor’s Cup tournament, organized by the Federation of Modern Pankration.
There, Siberian Evgeny Erokhin, who was then taking his first big steps in his professional career, was waiting for him. Brett Rogers managed to win by split decision with great difficulty and a year later, at the same Mayor’s Cup, but already in Khabarovsk, the Russian fighter had a chance to take revenge.
