In the main event at Saturday Night Fights at the Sears Centre Arena, smiling Chicagoan Brett Rogers entered the arena to hip hop. Russian Fedor Emelianenko entered to a doleful Russian dirge. When the bell rang, each attacked with confidence.
A pinpoint jab early in the first round opened a gash on Emelianenko's nose, splashing both fighters crimson. The two traded blows equally in the mixed martial arts bout until midway through second round, when Emelianenko stung Rogers with a right cross, then jumped on the felled fighter delivering more blows until the referee stopped the bout and the American crowd roared for the Russian.
