Brett Rogers, god of MMA, will hush you up

I don’t have a whole lot to say right now about Wednesday’s announcement that Brett “The Grim” Rogers will be the first to fight Fedor Emelianenko in a yet-to-be-determined Strikeforce bout this fall. Too much UFC 102 stuff on my mind.

But these quotes from Rogers himself over at Five Ounces of Pain are worth sharing because it’s almost the weekend and we should start it with a smile.

The first is typical chest-puffing, while the second is, well, see for yourself:

“I’m going to knock him out. He’s going to give me his chin, somehow, someway. He’s going to get sloppy with that overhand right that he loves to do or he’ll try to shoot in for a takedown, and I’ll catch him with either a knee or an uppercut … something. I’m going to drop him. I want the crowd to go (gasp). I want to get that reaction out of people. So I can’t wait.”

“[If I beat Fedor] I’m God then. I’m the god of MMA. I’ll become the god of MMA, right? Isn’t that how it goes? I’m the soul snatcher; I’m The Grim. I’ll take all his wins and put them under my belt, and then everybody can just hush up.”
