  - HIS CAMP SAYS FEDOR'S NOSE NOT BROKEN
Sunday, November 08, 2009 - by Steven Marrocco - MMAWeekly.com
Fedor Emelianenko did not sustain a broken nose in his Saturday fight with Brett Rogers, according to a member of his camp.
Emelianenko took a hard jab to the nose in the opening exchange of the fight, causing it to bleed generously throughout the fight.
Emelianenko stopped Rogers cold in the second round with a right hand, racking up his 31st professional victory.
Steven Bash, Emelianenko's translator and American representative, said Sunday that the jab caused a deep cut to his nose, but did not damage it in any other way.
Bash confirmed that Emelianenko injured his left hand and may have dislocated his thumb requiring it to be popped back into place. The Russian heavyweight was later outfitted with a soft cast at a Chicago area hospital.
Bash said Emelianenko would visit a Chicago-area doctor Monday to check on his injuries.
