Strikeforce's Brett Rogers meets "Warpath" Villareal at Oct. 23 W-1 event

Strikeforce fighter Brett Rogers (10-2) will meet fellow heavyweight Ruben "Warpath" Villareal (18-18-3) at an October event in Canada.

The W-1 MMA organization hosts the show, "W-1: New Ground," on Oct. 23 at the Halifax Forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The organization recently announced the 11-bout fight card for the show, and a Strikeforce official confirmed that Rogers received permission to compete at the event.

Rogers looks to rebound from a pair of losses – the first of his career – that came in a pair of high-profile Strikeforce bouts. In a highly anticipated and CBS-televised event in November, he suffered a second-round TKO loss to Fedor Emelianenko. Then in May, he suffered a title loss to champ Alistair Overeem via first-round TKO.

Prior to the defeats, Rogers went 10-0 with 10 stoppages via strikes. All but one ended in the first round.

Rogers now meets Villareal, who's competed with organizations ranging from Strikeforce to KOTC to Gladiator Challenge. The seven-year pro recently saw his three-fight win streak (his longest since starting his career with a 4-0 mark) come to an end with a submission loss to Strikeforce/EliteXC vet Mike Cook.

Despite a sub.-500 career mark, Villareal has fought a who's who of MMA notables, including Ricco Rodriguez, Don Frye, Antonio Silva, Bas Rutten, Dan Severn, Paul Buentello and Tim Hague.

While most of the undercard is filled with Canadian fighters, "The Ultimate Fighter 11" cast member Jamie Yager (2-2) also competes and takes on fellow middleweight and undefeated Jeremiah Hamilton (6-0) on the W-1 card.
