What's Next For Brett Rogers After Loss To Fedor?

Mike Reilly(Manager) tells MMAWeekly what they would like to happen:
"We would love the experience of going to fight in Japan," he said. "And we’re on Overeem’s heels, so wherever he goes. He sets foot on American soil; we’re on him. We were supposed to fight him in September. It grates on our nerves that the champion that’s been holding his belt for the last two years hasn’t defended his belt.
"If we’ve got to go through Antonio (Silva) or Fabricio (Werdum), then that’s what we’ve got to do." "Whoever Brett’s fighting next, they should make their peace with God."
I think a fight with Antonio Silva makes the most sense, considering they both they lost while fighting on the same card. I doubt they'll get the Overeem fight, considering he just lost and Overeem is technically the Strikeforce champion. Silva proved that he's a legitimate top 20 heavyweight in his close loss to Werdum, so a win for Rogers over him would be big in working back to a re-match with Emelianenko. Also, a fight between Rogers and Silva would be fireworks with somebody going to sleep more than likely. Who would you like to see Rogers face next?

Antonio Silva
Antonio better make sure his cardio is there because he looked really bad against Werdum.

Agree
Agree 100%. I think this is the most logical thing to do. Plus, it’s not like Strikeforce has many other options given the limited pool of HWs they have :-)

fedor proved nothing to me..the guy looked bad with a guy thats not even on his level. as for rogers the guy showed no class after the loss great balls by the interviewer telling him like it is. best hope for strike force is to sign all the ufc wash ups. sho mma was better in my mind.

While he could have chosen better words, I can’t argue with the guy because he was performing MUCH better than anyone thought he would…and he legitimately had Fedor in trouble at least once…

Shane Del Rosario would be pretty intusting style match-up for Rogers or Silva

Bigfoot would be an intriguing and logical match-up to get back on track – there’s always the issue of setting up fighters valuable to the promotion for a situation where one of them will have 2 losses in a row, but then again that doesn’t have to mean the end of the world based on performance (and I for one was impressed by Rogers’ effort against Fedor). When Overeem returns there’s only one logical opponent for him and that’s a certain chubby little Russian who also happens to be the best heavyweight on the planet right now.
Bloody hell.

i couldn't care for Rogers v Emelianenko II
he got his chance and failed.
Overeem V Fedor is all i could care for from Strikeforce right now and a t a push maybe throw Werdum in there too…maybe…
hell i wouldnt mind Mousasi v Fedor even though they’re against it…
other than those get Fedor in the UFC and lets start wrecking PPV no.’s :)

!["It's going to take a lot of time," he said. "I have to take it step by step. I cannot put so many pounds on in a short time. First, I will be a small heavyweight, and slowly I want to put more pounds on. It will take two, three years before I'm a solid heavyweight."
"They wanted me to sign for six fights," Mousasi said of the original deal. "I didn't want that. They didn't pay me that much. But money will come. I want to grow with Strikeforce as they grow with Showtime and CBS. I think it's a good place to be.
"If I had it in my mind, like OK, I'm going to the UFC, then I would have gone. But I have a new contract with DREAM, so I'm planning to stay busy and fight in Strikeforce and Japan constantly."
"I don't want to fight for too long," he said. "(At) 30, I'm finished. In my mind, (I just want) the amount of money that [would give me] a good life. Anymore than that, I don't need.
