Lashley does not want to fight Rogers

Bobby Lashley insists he is not keen on a fight with Brett Rogers.

Strikeforce promoter Scott Coker said after Lashley’s win over Wes Sims at their Miami event, that he wanted the TNA Wrestling star to face Brett Rogers next.

“I don’t understand this,” Lashley said. “Brett Rogers isn’t the champ. You’ve got Fedor [Emelianenko] who is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter and you’ve got [Alistair] Overeem who’s the champ. If they want me to go up to that level let’s go all the way up to that level and fight the champ.”

“I want Overeem,” Lashley said. “Either let me fight the way I want to — build up, get a few fights under my belt, work my way up — or let me fight the champ. If it’s fighting the champ I’ll fight the champ.”
