Brian Rogers has fought all around the globe, but nothing means more to a passionate competitor than a homecoming.

"The Professional Predator" returned to his native Ohio to face Lewis Rumsey in the main event at RFO: Big Guns 22, and Rogers certainly didn't disappoint. The former Bellator veteran is notorious for the power he possesses in his hands, and Rumsey got a taste of that devastation straight out of the gate.

Rogers landed a brutal straight right hand that put Rumsey on his back and into survival mode in a rapid twist. While his opponent looked to find any defense he could muster, Rogers remained calm and looked for the kill shot.

It would sure enough materialize, and after landing three straight right hands flush on the money, the referee jumped in to wave off the action.

While a victory on his resume will help Rogers in his quest to get back to the big leagues, the emotion that poured out in his post-fight speech was enough to stop any viewer in their tracks. The man loves fighting...does it with every ounce of who is as a man...and it was great to see such an experienced fighter put his heart on display for all to see.
