Rogers Stuns Arlovski in 22 Seconds
Rogers got to Arlovski's chin.
Brett Rogers told anyone who would listen that he was going to knockout Andrei Arlovski in the first round. Not too many people believed him, but they may start listening to the undefeated heavyweight after his 22-second dismantling of the former UFC champion.
Rogers (10-0), after taking a short leg-kick, stormed in on Arlovski, backing him into the cage with a left hook that seemed to stun him. Along the cage, Rogers unleashed a combination that culminated with a right hook that separated Arlovski from consciousness.
“I felt like he was hesitating,” Rogers said. “I just went after him. I was hungry.”
The surprising win puts Rogers at the top of the list of heavyweight title contenders for Alistair Overeem’s Strikeforce crown.
“I’m going to keep it going,” Rogers said. “I love this sport. I’m ready for anybody. Most importantly, I want that title.”
Arlovski (15-8), meanwhile, will have some soul-searching to do after suffering back-to-back knockout losses.
