Brett Rogers and Fedor Emelianenko will meet tonight in Chicago as part of Strikeforce’s debut on CBS. Each man has their reasons to win this fight, as it has a lot more riding that just a simple W.

Jason “Mayhem” Miller has already shown the world that he’s no fan of bullies. Now, the host of MTV’s smash-hit reality series “Bully Beatdown” has been joined by fellow STRIKEFORCE mixed martial arts (MMA) stars Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith and Daniel Cormier in a national campaign led by apparel company and cause organization Kickin’ It, Inc. to curb a perennial problem amongst adolescents and teenagers.

Despite being one of the most popular fighters in the WEC, Jeff “Big Frog” Curran was recently cut by the promotion.

The highly anticipated STRIKEFORCE® and M-1 Global co-promoted heavyweight showdown between Fedor Emelianenko (30-1) and undefeated American heavyweight Brett Rogers (10-0), will take place at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill, located just outside of Chicago, on Saturday, Nov. 7.
