Former Strikeforce heavyweight contender Brett Rogers was sentenced to 60 days in jail for the third-degree assault of his wife in June of this year. Having already served 26 days thus far, Rogers will receive credit and will more than likely spend only 2 weeks more in jail as he is only expected to serve two-thirds of his sentence.
Rogers was also handed three years of probation, and according to the report it has several provisions, “including having no contact with his wife until he completes a domestic abuse program and his probation officer approves the contact.” He will be allowed to travel in order to fight during his probation, but he was not given the option of postponing his remaining jail time in order to prepare for a December 31 fight.
