Former Heavyweight Contender Brett Rogers Gets 60-Days In Jail For Beating His Wife

Dakota County Attorney Jim Backstrom says the 30-year-old Rogers also was placed on three years’ probation and fined $500 on Wednesday. He has been given credit for 26 days already served behind bars.

Two years ago, Brett Rogers was fighting Fedor Emelianenko and Alistair Overeem for titles on major Strikeforce cards. The former Sam’s Club tire-changer was promoted as a rags-to-riches story. My how times change. In about a month, Rogers will either go back to his struggling MMA career (He’s dropped 4 out of 5 fights) or return to Sam’s Club to change tires. If they’ll have him.
