Winner of that takes on Fedor, and if Brett wins a fight in the interim then he's probably due a rematch for the title after that...

Hope for a quick recovery so we can see fedor back in action soon. guess the fighters curse lately extends beyond the zuffa roster.

I just hate to see it is all. I guess I expected some medical suspension, and if he broke a thumb, 6 months is about right with tendon damage.

To Yourdaddydevilandlord I think after Fedor vs Rogers we realized that Rogers is definitley not a pimpslapping mohawk man. He proved he can hang with the best, and showed a decent chin. That shot he took would have knocked out 90% of fighters cold. and he was still semi-concious. That's impressive.

It will take him 4-6 months to detox for a fight on American soil.

Admittedly, the right hand was vicious, and the reason I want more for Fedor. Strikeforce just isn't the pinnacle. It is AAA ball, sorry.

Hopefully this isnt the type of injury that forces him into early retirement.

It makes no sense to have Brett Rogers fight Overeem considering he just lost. The only logical bout now is Overeem vs Werdum and the winner faces Fedor. That means that once Fedor faces the winner of that match (presuming he wins), who is left for him in SF? No one. The lack of depth in the SF talent pool is seriously going to cost them in about 8 months.
