Former Strikeforce heavyweight Brett Rogers was sentenced to 60 days in jail on Wednesday, according to a report from the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The sentence stems from a guilty plea to felony third-degree assault for a June incident in which the 30-year-old assaulted his wife.
Rogers has already served 26 days in jail, and was credited with that time. He's expected to serve at least two-thirds of the sentence, so he has at least 14 days remaining.
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.
