I attended the "Strikeforce - Fedor vs. Rogers event" on Nov. 7, 2009, at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. Here are several photos from the main event, featuring consensus number one heavyweight in the world Fedor Emelianenko, as he took on undefeated Brett "The Grim" Rogers.
There are also a few photos of both fighters at the press conference immediately following the fight. Although you can't tell it from their post-fight faces, Fedor knocked Rogers out in the second round with one big overhand right.
It was one of the best fights I've ever seen in my life. And the best fight I've seen in person. Rogers was the underdog, but proved to everyone he definitely has a place among the sport's elite heavyweights.
