Strikeforce’s Brett Rogers: Alistair Overeem has been slowing me down

Strikeforce heavyweight contender Brett Rogers has
climbed MMA’s Mt. Olympus once and wants a belt for a second trip up the
mountain.

Rogers, who meets champion Alistair Overeem in the promotion’s first heavyweight title bout in almost three years, is eager
to erase the memory of his first professional loss against the
top-ranked Fedor Emelianenko this past November.

He’s not a fan of Overeem and will enjoy fighting for Strikeforce’s most
visible accolade. But it’s really a stepping stone back to the Russian.
