StrikeForce Trash Talk: Brett Rogers on Alistair Overeem, Overeem’s Manager on Rogers

During the backstage area from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California from the site of this past Saturday night’s StrikeForce “Carano vs Cyborg” card, MMANews.com got to speak with undefeated Heavyweight contender Brett Rogers who says that he could be competing for the promotion on their October event and still has his sights set on the title and Alistair Overeem by saying that the champ needs to “man up” and fight him soon. But if not, Rogers is also targeting Fabricio Werdum who submitted Mike Kyle in his StrikeForce debut.

Here is a look at the video of what Rogers had to say:

That comment by Rogers on Overeem did not sit too well with the Dutchman’s manager, Bas Boon who said that Rogers comment towards his client was “brainless” and that Overeem was also back in the gym for training.

“Does Brett Rogers think this help’s him? Alistair trains everyday with punchers like Errol Zimmerman, Gokhan Saki, Karaev, Sergei Kharitonov, and Semmy Schilt. He knocked out one of the best strikers in the world in Badr Hari in the first round under Hari’s rules (K-1). He fought three rounds against three time K-1 World Champion Remy Bojasky and would have won that fight had they counted the second round knock down. What exactly does Brett Rogers have on his record?”

“I understand that Brett is frustrated that Alistair is injured, but that is a brainless comment”. Boon continued. “The hand injury is now resolved and he is getting back to training carefully.”
