Mr Ed to fight Brett Rogers in may

Overeem vs Rogers in strikeforce May apparently! and its not a title fight! why would it be, not like he has had the title nearly 2 1/2 years and not defended it!

Why is it a non-title fight?

strange it aint for the title anyway Rogers first round ko heard it here first

I assume its cause Rogers got ko'd in his last fight but it is still very lame!

Overeem fighting in the US? I'll believe it when I see it.

Bizarrely enough, I see that happening too. I'd be curious to see what the odds are before the fight as some money could be made!

Rogers put up a decent fight against Fedor, the ground and pound he put on him in the 1st (I think?) may well be enough to finish Overeem.

Going in with the loss though, you'd get some good odds for that, probably worth a cheeky tenner on Rogers
