no draws with 16 wins by submission, seven knockouts and seven decisions. His
opponent, undefeated American, 28-year-old Brett Rogers (10-0) stands 6-feet,
5-inches tall, weighs 265 pounds and brings two of the heaviest hands in the
sport to the cage. Both Fedor and Rogers' last victories came against former
heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski.

In the night's middleweight title fight (185 pounds), Jake Shields (23-4-1)
squares off against Jason "Mayhem" Miller (22-6). Shields, widely considered
one of the best fighters in the world, brings an impressive 12-fight win streak
to the cage, six of his last seven coming by way of first round submission.
Most recently, he defeated world-ranked middleweight "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler
in his STRIKEFORCE debut on June 6. His opponent, Miller, a fellow submission
expert, is one of MMA's most exciting fighters. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and
Muay Thai specialist is the host of MTV's reality series "Bully Beatdown" and
