    Roger likes it clean.
    He prefer no sponsor on him, even his gi in Mundials are "clean" without any sponsor
    afterall he's not a fancy guy

    I think he might be the only fighter on a main card of a major promotion who has "clean" shorts.

    Most MMA fighters really need that money to survive. It's his prerogative of course...just unusual when everyone is grabbing every penny they can while they can...

    Roger looked great last night......that jab was very effective....I look forward to see him fight again.

    I'd guess Roger is pretty well off considering he ownes or has a hand in about a dozen BJJ schools here in the UK.

    Tnat could be part of the reason for a lack of sponsors aswell, he's effectively advertsing his own schools when he fights and anything else would distract from that.

    He could earn some good money. Main event on showtime should be 20g's or so.
